I have bought it at Joann Fabrics in the past and it looks like they have it online as well.

Monica,

Are you repairing the embroidery or a part of the vestment seams? If it's a seam I wouldn't use embroidery thread.

Gütermann makes good polyester thread. Do you have a JoAnn fabrics close by --they sell it. If you search online you can finds lots of places that sell it.
