Don't they proofread? Anyway, you will need to go to their site and print off a copy.

Some of the DMC is missing from the bins & the rest of it is in a big jumble. Things are kept up at Hobby Lobby so I try to get what I need there. Our local Walmart started offering DMC again but they don't have all the colors. I'm not a Halloween person so I pass by that JCS issue but I have to ask ... why do you always buy the September Vogue?Shirleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117632465099828622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-34102027393797570402012-08-21T11:32:26.739-07:002012-08-21T11:32:26.739-07:00some really pretty pieces edgar. lucky yousome really pretty pieces edgar. lucky youCindy's Stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413567290810650226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-23307623242920767782012-08-21T10:54:01.771-07:002012-08-21T10:54:01.771-07:00I love the exchange you received!

I definitely wouldn't want to use threads from that! I have two choices when it comes to getting DMC -- AC Moore and Michael's.

Our local store has been running low on thread for months. It's right down the street from our house and convenient... but not if they don't have any in stock! Fortunately, Walmart started carrying DMC thread again. They're right down the street too, so I'm switching to them. Our nearest Joann's or Hobby Lobby is 30 minutes away so I'm glad Walmart has come to the rescue.
