I think I started with over 50. I had every color of the rainbow, but surprisingly there wasn't any black or white. I have been using those in scrappy and other projects, just matching colors as I go. I'm down to about 15 spools now.<BR/><BR/>I use black thread with black fabrics and white with WOW, but other than that I just use from that sack. <BR/><BR/>If I had to pick 1 color predominately used it would be white.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107769274697697681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697836743481476981.post-82315409118736693782009-02-23T15:25:00.000-06:002009-02-23T15:25:00.000-06:00I use med. grey.

I have used beige a couple time, but the grey blends with everything, so it is what I use.<BR/>It's great that you are using up your old/other threads. They do eventually become weak, but it is definitly a great idea to use them on scrappy things. Then, the colour of the thread won't be as noticable. <BR/><BR/>So, my vote is grey thread. ;)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655217461685123025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697836743481476981.post-53448641557140794312009-02-23T14:58:00.000-06:002009-02-23T14:58:00.000-06:00I use a lot of cream, grey, and a little white.

I also use up the odd bobbins leftover from the long arm. these become top spools or get rewound onto bobbins for my regular machine.Lori in South Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065926474013911257noreply@blogger.com
