Longarmming and thread
Hey all! I'm fairly new to long armming. I'm in the "must acquire thread - all of it - and ... oh that's lovely - I want 2 of those and 2 of those..." phase.
In the interests of getting thread I'll use and not have sitting around forever:
What colors are best to have in quantity?
What colors would you not expect to use but do? (Like that split pea soup color that I never expected to use...)
How much of a given thread would you have around?
My intention is to quilt largely for myself - quilts and quilted projects - and charity quilts but the deal with DH when I got her was that Lucey must also pay for herself - so we'll be quilting somewhat for others too. Which is sort of where my problem lies. If it was just quilting for me, I know I'd need primarily greys, blues and some soft browns/neutrals.
Invariably, a charity quilt comes in and I go Oh! That would be great with XX color.... and I don't have it.
