I'm baaaaack.
While I drooled over those colors of Aurifil, I decided to pop for the Oliso iron instead. I've been wanting one... and given my Elna Press isn't going to probably make the cut to get on the sewmobile (lol) ... I want a beefier iron for doing stabilizers, etc. when I'm off in my hideaway.
As for the Aurifil... what a great price! But I'm still trying to round out having doubles (one spool in my bag for classes, etc and one at home) and now I'm going to try to get triples (so one can stay on the bus) of my most used common colors.
When I need to do some topstitching, etc... (where I think having those yummy colors would be nice) ... I just raid my embroidery thread collection to finish off an item. So for me, right now, as hard as it is... I managed to pass on those color collections.
