I just took the spool and unrolled a bunch of each color in a section and stepped back. Why she said only three tops is it's too easy to get frozen with indecision. Good luck.
That is what my LA and I do when trying to pick out that 'perfect' thread. I usually tend to go towards variegated/blendable threads.
