piecing thread color
#21
I always use Presencia 60 weight thread in color No. 216 to piece with. It's described as a medium beige/gray. I am starting a quilt with a white background and wondered if I should use white. The problem is all of the other colors in the quilt. I think I'll stick with No. 216.

I have noticed the odd or bright color threads are on sale more and for less then the neutral color threads. I got a case of bright red aurifil thread for $2 a cone. The neutral color was $6 a spool at the same sale.

I use the most neutral to the fabric thread I can. Grey's and beige are a good match to most fabric color ways. But, I have matched up the fabric with thread to the main background color too. Like blue on blue fabric.

when im making a scrappy quilt I use all my bobbin threads up so I can empty my bobbins , because somewhere I will need an empty bobbin for when I will need to match the cloth. and this is a good place to use up small amounts of thread left on a spool
