My DH got me one last Christmas and I am still using it frequently and just love the selection of colors! I use Gutermann polyester sew-all for everything. What I am doing is that as I use the different colors up, I keep the empty spool and then when there is a Joanns coupon or when is 50% off, I replace it with a larger spool, so I am slowly building a collection of the lareger spools in the colors I use the most. How sweet of you DH.
