NEW PLAN...now using Aurifil variegated for both machine piecing and English Paper Piecing...loving it!! In the past, I used 2 different shades of thread when piecing scrapy blocks...an ecru for the needle and a taupe for the bobbin or a charcoal for the needle and black for the bobbin. Now....the variegated threads make it simple!
Fabrics - 1/2 yd minimum for each fabric (use decimals)
Darlene Zimmerman Thread Kit 10 spools of 1930s colors..pale yellow, gold, mint green, aqua, blue, periwinkle, violet, orange, light pink, pink. 220 yards each color, 50 wt. The PERFECT selection of 1930s colors for applique and binding!
Aurifil 'Light' variegated #4651..peach,tan,lilac.Sounds terrible but really is great for scrappy lights!
Aurifil chocolate variegated #4671 Low contrast, great for scrappy dark piecing
