I use gray for piecing unless the backgound is black or white. Then I use black or white. It saves buying a lot of different colors. If I'm doing top stitching I may need to buy something to match. Then of course there are all the differnt colors of embroidery thread that I have to buy. My husband bought me a thread chest full of embroidery threads last year for Christmas. Actually that is now two years ago Christmas, with this being 2011.

I guess I will be the rebel one on this one. I like ti piece with colored thread. I try to match my predominant color. Of course, I like to use a lot of solids in my quilts sometimes, and in that case i can match it well. Black or white is too obvious when you are sewing on yellow, for example.

I am with the majority. I have black, white, beigh, brown, light gray, dark gray, and that is about it. You don't see the seams anyway so why bother matching exactly? And I also like 50 wt for piecing and I like 40 or 30 for quilting.
