Is that possible????. :XD:

If you include embroidery thread, I have a substantial amount, but it in no way compares to my fabric stash.

My quilting thread now all fits in one box, although I can't get the cover down. I'm using it all up - mostly Coats and Clark and will be replacing it with Aurofil and Superior threads. While I didn't have much of a linting problem with my brother, C&C lints terribly in my Bernina. However, I paid hundreds of dollars for the thread I have and dang it, I'm gonna use it up first!

I have 5 thread boxes of thread, probably every color known to man, 4 of regular sewing thread and 1 of hand quilting thread. My mom gave me all her thread when her eyes got too bad to see to sew, plus I had alot already.

My fabric stash is 8 large plastic bins full. Need to get organized more so I can get to it all. I've been enjoying all the pictures of fabric storage ideas. :thumbup:

I have basic colors for my quilting - beige, black, or white. But for machine embroidery the colors are many -

if you go yard for yard my thread stash is larger.

if its cone per yard then my fabric stash is bigger.

me too.

No, I only use cream or light grey

Actually, probably runs close. I purchased a bin full of assorted threads from a lady on craigslist about 6 months or so ago. I have quite a bit of sewing and some quilting thread. I also have about 30 small spools of pure silk applique' thread, besides what I already had. I only paid $10 for the bin.

Too much thread for sure. I always try to match my thread to my quilt. Between the piecing thread, quilting, embroidery, large spools etc. I have way too much. I shouldn't run out of thread for the rest of my lifetime and then some :-)

I used to sew clothing before I started quilting and you always matched your thread to the fabric. But I've come to realize you don't need to do that in quilting. I have lots of colors but for the last few years I've only been buying shades of cream to brown and light gray to dark gray. Very rarely do I need the thread to match. Also makes ripping out alot easier to see.

NO. I really want to get the varigated thread but feel I have spent enough money for quite awhile.:(

I'm not really sure about why but I have a friend whose machine will only sew Gutterman. She has tried several brands and she tell me "the others throw up on the back"! Love that description!

My thread stash is huge, but I so longarm quilting and most of it is for that. I have to have the colors I need for customer quilts as well as my own.

A friend told me to use grey thread for most sewing of the quilt pieces. Works well!

nope same as you.

No my thread stash is not as big as my fabric stash. But it is getting larger since I joined Superiors thread of the month club. I love the thread & all the colors that come every month. I wish I had $$ to join a second club.

No Way do I have much thread, it's really pitiful. I have tons of Coats and Clark thread but my Bernina has a mini-fit if I use it. So I use a great deal of beige and gray for piecing. And if I want to highlight something, then I have to buy one small spool for that.

Superior thread guru Bob says there really isn't any difference; you can ask the Bernina repair person to reset your machine to the brand of thread you generally use (which is what I did). Some threads do tend to have more lint than others, but reallly its your preference. Just be sure to clean out the bobbin case every time you change bobbins!

I have a very large stash of threads.
Right now probably a larger stash than
fabric as I do a lot of machine embroidery
and art quilts with thread painting.

:lol: Good question! Mine is because I do a lot of embroidery too.
