Fabulous suggestion. Now, if I can only let go and do it!

I have done similar for the serger thread (loopers only). I also have 2 shades of brown. I never thought about doing so for the regular sewing. Thanks!

Great suggestion. Co-incidentally, today I was sorting out my thread collection, and found several large 5000m cones of overlocker/serger thread in shades of hot pink - what *was* I thinking of? !!!

I had already been doing that, even though my thread-counting friends said it was not correct. Most period garments were sewn in neutral colors!

Great idea. I learned it from a quilting class. You sew so many different colors together, all you need is three shades of gray for most piecing. But I had never thought of that theory for garments.

So clever!! Thank you. :)

Love this! I think that many sewers (me included) worry too much about things that don't really matter that much. I keep multiple bobbins filled with black and white thread so I'm more likely to use one or the other rather than buying matching thread.

I also find "invisible" thread very efficient. I only have use one bobbin and because the transparent thread blends in with all fabrics, it's all I need. You can get some from most fabric stores
