I have a small selelction of 40 little spools and use them for when I need something color matched. I think it is handy.

If you don't use for actual quilting, maybe you can take a spool with you to the store for color matching.

Abeautiful gift! Gutterman is the best and I use it for applique, the colors are like jewels and bet you'll love them once you try them.

I'm glad you're going to keep it. Since you do applique and you said the spools don't have a lot of thread on them, this large selection of colors seems like a perfect thing for you to have.

And you're right, you do get lots of opinions here on the QB! :lol:

I agree with others. I think you'll find uses for them. If you need more of a certain color, buy it as you go. I bought a large collection a while back and I use it all the time in appliqué and embroidery.

I would use it for the decorative stitches or machine applique on a quilt. I have a different thread chest and can't wait to use the yummy colors.

I love Gutermann thread and I think you will use them. Also it was so sweet for your DH to pick this out for you so I would keep it and let him know you appreciate it. You will use them.

My DH got me one last Christmas and I am still using it frequently and just love the selection of colors! I use Gutermann polyester sew-all for everything. What I am doing is that as I use the different colors up, I keep the empty spool and then when there is a Joanns coupon or when is 50% off, I replace it with a larger spool, so I am slowly building a collection of the lareger spools in the colors I use the most. How sweet of you DH.
