I sometimes use it for basting anything that needs basting first.

I use them to hand sew the binding on or for basting.

I use them as the top thread for piecing.
It makes for quick "using" up. :)

I use them to piece.. I make scrappy quilts so the piecing thread is never an issue with me.. I use lights with light piecing and dark thread with dark piecing.. No thread wasted here..
