Forgot to add that I will use the close match in the bobbin and the exact match on top if the stitching only shows on the outside. It takes some planning but I have a stash of thread to pick from. Not only does it save me $ but it also saves me a trip to pick up more thread.

When I find a color that I feel I must have and it ONLY comes in a small spool. I will use a neutral blender thread alone with the perfect color. If I want the color to show on the back, then I quilt backwards (bottom on the top and my bobbin thread is the neutral). I will use the perfect thread in the bobbin if I have to use the neutral thread in the top for SD. I've used Gutermann for years (because my machine loves it), and this is how they roll.

Now here's the tough part of the question for the person who, by chance, has some of this color lying around and a match - if Gutermann 112 is only available in the small spools, do you know of another manufacturer that makes this same color in larger spools?

Try this website. Maybe you can find the correct color here in a larger size.

What is the best color for piping on dark gray flannel pajamas? Light gray? Black? Color?
I plan to wear them making quilts this winter.
