    I can't use them in my Brother, I know that.  It's $1.29/cone at Joann 
Fabrics.

    I drive by it each day on my way to and from work.  :)

    It's got a pretty good crafting department.

    Good to know.  I'll check out Walmart next time I'm there.
 RH> Go figure.  At least now you have a backup.
    THat's right.

    That's why I got the Brother.

    I'll have to try that sometime.  I do quite a few applique's.
