What thread color do you find yourself mostly using? I find myself using browns alot. Don't know why.

I just thought about it and I would have to say white, and I don't know why, either!

I use a very light gray Gutterman as it blends right into the fabric when piecing. Of course, when I top stitch then I use the color of the fabric I am using.

mostly neautrals, like cream, off white ,taupe.
if i'm using mostly whites i use white and black with black but for patchwork i use the neutrals, of course i have every color i could ever need in my stash!

For piecing white- for applique and quilting I try to match the fabric color

A grayish green - sort of like the color that the Easter egg dyes made when they were all dumped together.

I think the name of the color (Coats & Clark) is "smoke"

It blends with almost all medium to dark colors.

I use grays for piecing mostly. I don't know why, except that it's probably what I have the most of.

I use whatever thread color I have in my use up thread basket with a 70# neutral bobbin thread. I have half used spools of thread that are just in my way.
