Have you heard, "Asking a quilter to mend is like asking Picasso to paint the garage." |
Black, white, gray, and neutral beiges are about it for me for piecing. But lots of colors for quilting
|
Used to use only beige and gray, white with white and black with black. Found that when I stretched the quilts on my LA the fabric would stretch and the thread I used to piece with would show, so now I match the main color in my quilt.

I use a lot of dark and white, But I love using colors too. I just ordered the last of all the sets of threads from Connecting threads. I love their threads.It helped to get 2 big gift cards from our kids for Christmas. I was so happy.

I love Superior Thread's "Sew Fine", and use it for both piecing and longarm quilting. I usually piece with a neutral beige or cream, hardly ever use black or white anymore. And since I have about 100 cones of thread for my longarm business, I could use any color I need for piecing, but I really do just stick to the neutrals.

I with you....I find myself using creams, beige's and blacks......other than that can't say I ever venture off of those colors for piecing.
I do try to match best I can when doing the quilting. |
