    After reading other posts, I'm thinking of ordering the sets of Connecting Threads essential thread. I need to get a good assortment of cotton thread. Is it noted anywhere on the spool what the color is - by number or name? Thanks.

    Yes, there is a little sticker with the color name on the cellophane wrapper, but not on the spool itself.

    You're welcome!
    I have a couple of their thread collections, and they are very nice, and it's great to have variety of colors available.

    Just in a drawer for now, one of those 5-6 drawer plastic roll-around things, which I keep under my cutting table. I'm badly in need of more room (I'm in a 9x12 bedroom that has a sofa bed and dresser, in addition to my ever-expanding collection of quilting stuff), and we've joked around about buying the vacant house next to ours and making a connector between the two houses!

    I would suggest you order one spool first and try it out. My machine likes this thread and I buy a lot of it. Some machine do no like it.
