    For piecing my quilts I use a neutral color unless the fabric is white or black. Then I use the appropriate color. When I long-arm quilt my quilts, I will use a neutral, matching or variegated thread all depending on the colors and pattern. I sometimes will use multiple colors when I am custom quilting a quilt.

    Invisible thread is what I often use. If I can not find a good match because of so many colors in the quilt I have been known to use the monofilament thread for top, bottom or both quilting threads. I do like to try to match the thread to the quilt as much as possible though.

    Black for piecing and whatever is closest to the quilt color for the quilting. I need to venture out and try something else.

    I mostly use white. How boring! Mind you, right now I’m using some lovely variegated Aurifil on a quilt, and it’s so pretty that I keep adding quilting. And, I’m quilting this by hand, and I still can’t get enough of this beautiful colour.

  122. Angela Avatar

    I use an off-white or light tan when I want a neutral. Otherwise, I like variegated threads. I have used a lot of orange and purple, too. Well, I guess it depends on the project. All colors are beautiful!

    I do more piecework than quilting but when I do quilt it’s usually old traditional white, off white, beige. Since I am looking at some art quilt ideas to try I could use some colors.

    Sew the pieces always use cotton yarn fabric color one, for padding in this case with maroon embroidery thread

    Just about the only color I use for piecing is Aurifil #2605, which is a nice, neutral grey. I go through spools of it!

    for hand & machine quilting I mainly use a light tan thread for multicoloured scrappy quilts, for quilts containing a dominant colour I will match the thread to the main colour

    I make and quilt charity quilts a lot. We use Walmart’s brand twin flat sheets, take the seams out, and cut the sheet in half. The half will serve as a backing for a quilt. We go through blue backings as the most popular color. So it’s shades of blue we use the most. It would be a wonderful blessing to receive one of your packages of great Aurifil threads.

    I find that I use varying shades of grey, as it blends better than anything else when I’m piecing. For hand quilting, I will match to the background fabric or to the backing, if I’m doing a scrappy quilt. And, I will admit it, I’m a “traditional” quilter and prefer my backing fabric to be muslin–bleached or unbleached doesn’t matter, so usually I use a white or beige for my quilting threads.

    I use a color that compliments the main color of the quilt top, but I find myself using red the most.

    The thread color I use most in my quilting is a light tan or beige for piecing and sometimes for the quilting. But usually for the quilting I enjoy using variegated threads.

    For piecing I mainly use a taupe colour, for quilting I am using ” linen” at the moment, the colour depends on what colours are in the quilt.

    For piecing, I usually use light beige or grey, for quilting, I try to use whatever color will not fight with quilt, unless I really want the quilting to show to make a statement.

    l like to use bleached white backgrounds with bright vibrant colors and l love to add hand embroidery and thread art to my quilts. the white deffinetly makes it stand out. black works the same way…opposite ofcourse, but it adds interest

    I love to use the variegated threads when ever possible. Otherwise there is no one color in particular as I like to choose one that best compliments my quilt top.

    Color I use the most is a deep taupe color. Many of my projects are the rich country colors and this color works the best for sewing and quilting! Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to all!

    I mostly use an-off white color like linen or ivory, but the color I use certainly varies to fit the project.

    Petsonally, I generally use variegated threads, both rayon and metallic. However, I quilt for others and find that the extent of most people runs to ecru, beige, and tan. I vote for imagination!

    I like the way grey melts into any colour quilt. But variegated threads can look fab in negative space.

  316. MC Avatar

    I use mostly off white or black thread. They go with everything.

    I love to quilt with Rainbow threads. I also use a lot of Aurifils neutral colors. You can never have too many colors of thread.

    Lately I have been using a lot of lime green in my thread.

    What marveous quilts and was sure fun to vote.

    Thanks again for the inspiration and fun eye candy for quilters!

  324. Judy Chain Avatar

    Ooops! I forgot about the color thread. I use mostly light beige thread for my piecing and variegated for my quilting.

  325. Nita Avatar

    I use a complimentary colour, so it depends on the top. I really like varigated threads lately.

    I usually use an off white thread. I do not want to take away from all the piecing of the quilt blocks with thread that takes your eye away from the main event.

    I usually use cream or variegated – just depends how I’m feeling.
    I’m only a beginner as far as quilting a quilt (more of a topper) so like Yvonne I try not to distract from then piecing.

    I love using variegated threads when quilting, and gray when piecing. It absolutely amazes me how no matter what colors you have used in a quilt top, there is the perfect variegated out there to compliment it! And now that I finally found the secret to not getting the variegateds to break constantly (topstitch needle), I love them all the more.

    I use colors to match my fabrics, but I almost always seem to choose variegated threads. I love the way they alternately blend and accent creating sparkle!

  333. Liz Avatar

    When piecing, I use natural (an off-white) and when quilting, I match the bobbin to the backing and usually a neutral tone that doesn’t distract from the pieced top.

    I mostly use white or off white in my quilting. For piecing, I like to use a light grey or cream.

    I <3 Aurifil threads! For piecing I typically use a soft medium gray, but really enjoy having a variety of colors to use for applique. The 50wt is wonderful for it, just disappears into the fabric and becomes almost invisible!

    I uses either white or black depending on the tone, though I do like to match thread to fabric if I hae the color.
