I know lots of quilters buy lots of fancy threads. I don't quilt my own tops, so I usually just buy Aurifil thread in a neutral color to piece with. But I have a lot of lesser quality thread left over from my garment making days. I store it on racks inside my walk in closet. It is a hodgepodge of Mettler, Gutterman, Dual Duty and Piece Goods store brand. Piece Goods went out of business many years ago. I think some of this thread is at least 25 years old. My mother used to give me spools of Piece Goods thread (5 spools for $1) in my Christmas stocking when I was a teenager. It is very linty, so I use it for sewing on the occasional button and zigzagging around linen when I cross stitch.
