Same here. A cone lasts me several years. I do all my piecing in a neutral taupe color. In the bobbin I use Superior bottom line a 60 wt poly. If I am piecing darks I do switch to a dark charcoal in the same brand combo. The only time I use colored threads is when doing machine applique. I do end up buying about 90% of my thread when I go to the big national shows. Best deals then.
Now quilting is a whole different thing. My quilting thread stash is enormous but the bulk of it is 40 wt poly embroidery thread.
