Using Gray Thread?

[geeblay627e120]

I have a question about using Gray thread. I read once that gray thread works with almost every fabric. Is that true? Then I read a post on organization the sewing room and it made mention of all the bobbins having gray thread. Is that an option too? Sew with a colored thread on top and gray on the bobbin? My! That would make life easier!
Thanks for your thoughts.

I sew top and bobbin with grey or ecru/beige for just about everything, no show

If I'm sewing on a lot of white I might use white top and bobbin.

I've found a medium gold or grey/green is very versatile , too.

I use grey alot and feel it is a good neutral.

Gray is the color I do most of my piecing with. I also use ecru and tan!!

Wow! Thanks. Not only would it be easier but also cheaper than always buying new colors.

Yes, yes, yes....I have two shades of gray that I use all the time, medium light and medium dark. And I TRY to always have a box full of all white bobbins, all black bobbins, medium gray, and dark gray. I think the box holds a dozen. So easy to just wind a whole lot of bobbins at once and be done.....

That's a good idea! I usually piece with gray too! I also use ecru, black, and med. gold. The gold blends with most fabrics too. I learned this in my early dressmaking years.
