  1. I will use the pale gray the most. It is my favourite go-to as it is the most neutral for my needs. Thanks for the opportunity

    1. i am now following you on facebook….my fav colour at the moment is white or silver grey but i like the look of the blue one.i have never used this thread before.i use mostly white on my quilts but i use contrasting thread for pattern.

  2. I would use 2024. I am getting ready to do an heirloom quilt class and I plan to use Aurifil.

  3. I would definitely use the neutral creams the most. It’s my go-to thread color for multi-colored blocks and for quilting. What a great giveaway!

  4. I believe I would use the grays the most. I am future planning for grand babies if my son and daughter in law ever get past their five year plan!

  5. I’d probably use the white the most, although I believe I could use every color in this collection! Thanks for the chance! :0)

  6. Love the basics! I use #2600 & #2000 the most. Since I’ve switched to Aurifil I love that I don’t have all the lint anymore & that the bobbins last FOREVER!

  7. I would probably use the lightest grey the most! It seems to blend perfectly with lots of colors.

  8. I’d use the light gray the most because I have lots of assorted blue patches to sew together, and it would work well with my bird patch quilt also.

  9. I love using Aurifil threads and my machine likes it it, too! I think I would use all of them fairly evenly but I’d say the one I would use LEAST is black simply because I haven’t been working with darker fabrics of late.

  10. I would use the tans most, I’m going to start a quilt out of brown, tan and greens after christmas and the tans would be great. I liked your fan page on facebook.

  11. I would use the greys as I would like to do a rock and water fall with wild flowers done with free machine embroidery.

  12. I have alrelady “liked” your page previously. I love the basic collection. I love the cream colour!

  13. i use tans and greys for piecing… use lots of different colours for quilting…aurifil is my go to thread for both piecing and quilting….love it love it love it

  14. I have been a ‘liker’ of the the Aurifil facebook page for a long time already. I am also a liker of the color ecru. I would love to use all of the Aurifil colors, but the ecru would be empty first.

  15. I use all of these colors but the gray is my favorite! I liked the Aurifil FB page a long time ago!

  16. I’d use that creamy ecru first. The one in first column, next to the last one. That’s what I’ve been using for most of my piecing. But I’d love to see how one of those grays would work and I need some black when piecing darker fabrics! Thanks for the generous offer of this wonderful thread!

  17. I would use one of the creamy beige colors. I’m doing a Dear Jane quilt — completely scrappy in reproduction fabrics. I prefer creams/tans when doing a project of this magnitude AND style. So far I have 17 blocks out of 169 (interior blocks) and one triangle!! Its a journey and I’m enjoying it! Will need LOTS of thread, though!

  18. The 2600 Light Gray, my ‘go to’ color as it’s a great neutral for a variety of uses. Excellent thread all around & with too many colors to choose from! Keep up the good work! Ani in the USA (email: playdoll2 AT yahoo.com – close the gaps and use @ for AT)

  19. I’d already liked the FB page long ago but still commenting since you wouldn’t know that! Ani in the USA (email: playdoll2 AT yahoo.com – close the gaps and use @ for AT)

  20. I seem to use light grey a lot, but also enjoy the cream color if I’m piecing lighter tones.

    I “liked” your Facebook page a long time ago and enjoy the little tips and clips and links.

  21. I would use the white or the black thread the most but I KNOW I could find a use for all the colors!

  22. I would use the one on the lower left corner…either 2310 or 2605 depending on how you listed your numbers. Beautiful colors!

  23. I am a follower on Facebook! Yay! I have used mostly white so far but have some projects in mind for the grays!

  24. I would use the natural tones the most. I use those and grey for all my piecing no matter the color of the fabric.

  25. I would LOVE the basic colors set!! I think I would use all of them equally. I use white for top-stitching a lot of different things and the greys and beiges for piecing.

  26. I had previously liked your Aurifil Facebook page and I would love to win all the colors in this collection; however, I would probably use the beige most as it works with most everything.

  27. La couleur que j’utilise le plus en couture est l’écru mais je ne connais pas les fils Aurifil sinon de nom. Ce serait un réel plaisir pour moi de l’essayer

  28. This is my go to collection all of the time
    and I use nothing else , When u want your items to last for generations to come then u have to use the very best .

  29. I already use the white, grey, and ecru colors as my go-to colors! They are constant sewing companions.

  30. J’aime votre page facebook depuis quelques temps. Je débute dans le patchwork, il me reste à quilter mon premier patchwork, j’ai adoré le monter.

  31. I would use 2000 the most, but all of the colors would be great to have! This is an awesome collection. What I love most about your thread is the strength for the thickness and it allows my cross seams to lay flatter for quilts that are the best. I have introduced many quilting friends to your threads and they love it!

  32. I would use all the colors. I love making scrap quilts and I’m going through a lot of thread. I’m trying to get three scraps quilts done a year. One for each of my girls and one for my husband. Then I would machine quilt the quilts with #28 thread. Thanks for a great product.
    Marlene

  33. what a lovely collection of colors, I stated using this thread about 10 years ago and have never looked back

  34. I have not had the chance to try your product, but have heard great things. I would love to get my hands on some! It is hard to say which I would use the most, but it would probably be white. 🙂

  35. I would use many of these colors but my “go to” color for piecing is the lightest grey. I LOVE Aurifil threads!

  36. I use the creamy color the most ~ do a lot of paper piecing and it’s my color of choice.
    Thanks for the giveaway ~ very generous!

  37. I use the light grey the most often, but I love all of these neutrals. Right now I am working with white. I will use it to both piece and quilt!

  38. I use a lot of 2000. I also use white and black but I have to admit i haven’t bought any grey. Thanks for this opportunity. I am already a fan on Facebook 😄

  39. Love Mark Lipinski and love the neutral colors in his collection. Love Aurifil too! Use it for all my projects…#1 on my Christmas list!

  40. The gray is used when I don’t have the right color in my collection and I’m not going in the dark direction. . I go through black the most. It seems most projects have some black in them.

  41. I love the grey the middle grey I use it the most as it blends into many light to medium colour fabrics very well when piecing or hand piecing which I do the most Aurifill threads are beautiful to work with here I Australia I have trouble finding them in local quilt shops so have to buy on line I really recommend Aurifill threads

  42. I use this thread exclusively. I try to match it to the background color of my project & have found that I use beige, gray & black the most. I love this thread!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

  43. Love your thread! Black is my favorite! Love using black as a background, and your thread just emphasizes that.

  44. It would definitely have to be the denim blue one in the right corner. I use a lot of blues in this hue and I have been a FB follower for a long time now!

  45. I love Aurifil thread. My favorites are 2600 (lt. grey) and 2605 (med. grey). Those are my go-to colors. Have several spools of each so I will never run out!

  46. I already like Aurifil’s facebook page! But, I love this collection from Mark! I have most of these colors in my stash already, but, I use them so much, it would be nice to have the collection.

  47. ONE? We have to tell you just ONE color? but….they are all so luscious and I want to use them all! I think, however, that 2314 is the one I like. And of course….I have liked you on FB a long time ago!

  48. The one I would use most would be the light gray. For piecing, it blends so very well. Of course, I always find a way to use all the colors eventually. Especially while machine quilting.

  49. I really like the light beige colors in Aurifil but all the colors in the giveaway would work in different projects!

  50. I use the off-white or almost white a lot. I find myself sewing with a lot light fabrics. 🙂 I’ve been a Facebook Fan for quite sometime.

  51. I would use them all! I use cream, beige and light gray for all my piecing. Thanks for the chance to win!

  52. I liked your Facebook page a couple of weeks ago. I am just learning about ” threads” for quilting and beginning to see the differences. I love the color range of Aurifil. As an art quilter I am learning to “audition” threads. I love all the colors in the Giveaway,, however my first choice would be the beiges! I never enter these giveaways so this is a first for me!

  53. The very light gray is my most used with second to good old white. I am already a Facebook follower.

  54. I check all your facebook postings. I already LIKE you. I love color and would use all the colors in my different quilt projects.

  55. I like the dark grey best – I have a quilt that it would be perfect for! Thanks for a chance to win! 🙂

  56. I would use the white – that is my go-to thread. The entire box is great! Thanks for the give away!

  57. I’d most use 2021. Which reminds me, I have a quilt to finish with a variegated Aurifil right now.

  58. I bought one spool of Aurifil in White and I’m HOOKED! I think I would use white the most – I am using a lot of white for background on my quilts these days 🙂

  59. Hello Alex!
    I’m a big fan of #2600, the light gray! It works with mostly everything!
    I’m also a fan of the Facebook page!!!!
    Thanks for sponsoring this great contest!!
    Cheers from Denmark!

  60. I have used the light gray and a light beige (not near my sewing room so don’t know the #’s) I would love to win this great set of Aurifil threads…..it would be my ‘everyday’ thread!

  61. I joined the blog, I liked the Facebook page, I would use the gray or silver, the most……somebody has to win, I hope its me!

  62. I just went to FB and liked you but i must have done that some time ago because i follow Aurifil on FB almost every day.

  63. I think I would use the light gray the most, but they are all so very, very wonderful!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  64. I’m a follower of your Facebook page and I mostly use the light grey, 2600. But now I’m also starting to piece with the light cream, 2000. I love all the thread and your updates on the site. Thanks for this great chance to win.

  65. I would use the light gray because it blends well with the fabrics I use. Love the thread and thanks for the chance to win some great thread.

  66. I use all shades of white the most, so I know those would get used up in a heart beat! Love your thread!

  67. I generally sew with an off-white, so 2021 (if the numbers are going left to right, and not up and down).

  68. I tend to use an off white color more often, but a friend told me she uses gray/grey for her quilts. Really love all of your threads!

  69. I use 2600 the most but also, black and white and pale grey for piecing and binding. Thanks for the chance to win the best thread in the world.

  70. I have been a “Liker” of Alex’s page for EVER. Thanks for the second chance to win and thanks to Alex for making the best thread ever.

  71. I would use 2310 up first, since I’ve already finished 2 spools of that color. It’s my first pick for piecing, and for the bobbin when quilting if using muslin for the back. This is a great basics collection.

  72. I would use the creams most, since my shopkeeper adviced it is a color that goes with almost everything for patchworking.
    But I see that grey is also mentioned a lot of times for that purpose…should try that once…

    Inge

  73. I’m already a fan of the FB-page: you can’t have inspiration enough, and just watching all the products en projects is already big fun!
    🙂

  74. Love Aurifil for piecing & quilting! I most use the off white, but currently have taken on a big project using the grey shade.

  75. I have never tried Aurifil thread as none of the local shops in my area carry it…but I’d love to. I would use the white most.

  76. Enjoy the Facebook site every day – always great inspiration there. Would likely use the white most, but would be using it all…I buy Aurifil every trip to Tahoe Quilts.

  77. i’ve never had the chance to try aurifil – i have heard GREAT things about this thread though, and i would probably use alllll the spools up, trying each one to decide which one i liked best i have no idea – currently i use white thread for piecing, but i would love to do grey, as i’ve been sewing a lot of grey!

  78. I’m still at the using white thread stage for almost everything – gotta practice my hand stitches more before I let them show and get brave with color.

  79. I can tell you my most used current Aurifil colors are in the box. Cream and light grey. I LOVE Aurifil. Best thread out there!

  80. 2314 is the one I use the most, but I am willing to experiment. =)
    I’ve been a FB fan of Aurifil already.

  81. I would use all the beige/tan colors first and most, because I like to piece with them. They work with most color fabric so I don’t have to change so often! Thanks for the opportunity. I love your thread & someday hope to own them all!

  82. Light gray or light tan are my go to colors! Sometimes I choose between them more on my mood than on my fabric.

  83. I’m an Aurifil ‘snob’; won’t use anything but. My fav is the palest sage. Goes with everything! All Aurifil 50wt ‘sinks in’ so nicely, any color would do. Mark Lipinski is the reason I tried Aurifil, and my machine is the reason I keep using it – she loves it! Have been a FB friend forever!

  84. I find myself using a shade just off white from white the most so I think the 3rd down on the left would probably be my most-used shade.

  85. I use the gray 2620 the most as well as other neutrals, after being introduced to aurifil by my quilting friend. i like on fb, that’s how I saw this contest.

  86. I would probably use white the most. I just tried Aurifil thread for the first time, and I love it! So much better than any other thread I’ve tried. I’d love to win this giveaway!

  87. I would probably use the white first, then the off white, and probably the gray next. I’ve never use Aurifil, but would absolutely LOVE to try it!!! Thanks for the chance to win some!

  88. I go through at least two spools of white on each hand quilted king size quilt I make and I usually make 3 a year.

  89. I think I would use the tan #2000 the most just because of the ease to blend into so many fabrics

  90. I got this colection for christmas and have used all of the colors the ecru is gone!! and there is very little of the white left. I love your thread.

  91. i LOVE light beige, i always keep w/ a pale tan, cream color & only use white when stitching with white fabric. love that this thread is thin so the bobbin has a ton more on it, thus requiring fewer refills…love!

  92. My favourite is called neutral and the number is 2000 (I think) I hope it is in the basics collection as I would love a whole box of basics.

  93. I am just finishing my third spool of white so that would be my choice right now. However, I love all the colors and would love to have those choices on hand.

  94. The silvery gray color, since I am going to be starting a gray and white chevron quilt for my daughters new home.

  95. I actually bought that lightest grey and its been the most useful colour I’ve ever had, its perfect! However, I’ve got quite a few darker fabric projects lined up so that black would no doubt be most handy 😉

  96. I mainly use the grey and white… and I have also already liked Aurafil thread face book page…

  97. I love Aurafil thread! And, I’m already a follower on Facebook. I do love your frequent posts. Every day when I come to check on my Facebook friends, I have quilting inspiration waiting for me, too. Keep my newsfeed busy!

  98. Already an Aurifil and FB fan.
    I use the light silver gray probably the most.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  99. I think I’d use the linen/lt beige color the most. I’m sewing with a ton of linen these days!

  100. I use a lot of blacks, but with all those choices who knows? I might venture into more grays than usual.

  101. I have purchased almost all the colors in this giveaway and I love, love, love, love, them!!!! It’s hard to pick just one favorite but it would probably be the midldle beige to goldish shade.

  102. 2021 I think – it looks like it’s be great for piecing, and I’ doing a fair bit of that atm. Though I’ve vague plans for a grey a green quilt for by boy, so the greys would be very handy too!

  103. I have liked the Autrofill Facebook page for a long time already, and my favourite colour thread, also the one I use the most, is the lightest grey. I really like the look of some of those light golden beiges too! Thank you 🙂

  104. My main favourite colour of Aurifil that I buy the most is 2325, as its a mixture of beige/khaki depending what color your using it on I love it, have in 40wt and50wt.

  105. I honestly would use all of these colours constantly but offwhite is my go-to colour, the one I most consistently leave on my machine.

  106. I use the taupe color the most. I love how this thread just blends into the fabric.

  107. As a new user of your threads I have to say I like the them. They work mwell in my machine.I would use the greys the most.

  108. I use natural colors the most, though would use all of these since they are indeed great basics for piecing. If win, it will be nice to get to try Aurifil thread as have heard good things about it.

  109. I usually use 2600 Dove but 2325 Linen is versatile as well, I often use one colour in the bobbin and the other for the top thread, it depends on the colour of the fabric I am using.

  110. The colors I would use the most would be white or cream. This is the best Christmas gift ever. Every quilter needs thread. Thank you for the chance to win.

  111. I would use white or the lightest cream the most. I’ve never used Aurifil thread but , I’d like to try it out, I’ve heard wonderful raves about it. ;-> Toni Anne

  112. I would use the natural colors most darker to lighter shades. Love using grey as well. This looks like a beautiful selection.

  113. I LIKE Aurifil Quilt Patchwork and Embroidery Threads on Facebook!!
    I LOVE The Basics Collection by Mark Lipinski!!
    I ADORE the blue/grey!!

  114. Wow! This is a great (and popular!) giveaway! Thanks for hosting!

    I’ve never used this thread before, but I’m going to go out and get some now for sure! I would likely use the white the most, but all the colors are great – it would make matching thread so easy!

  115. I tend to use either light tan (for warm colors) or light grey (for cool colors). They both tend to disappear and go with just about everything. Thank you for the nice giveaway! 🙂

  116. The light gray and light beige are my favorites. I use them all the time. They go with just about any color material. I have followed you on facebook for a while now and will continue to do so.

  117. I like the medium gray – it seems to blend so well with everything but the very darkest colors. Thanks for this awesome thread!

  118. Black for sure, I have been a devoted fan of Aurifil for 6 or 7 years now and am still just as thrilled today as when i first started using it! Liked on FB!

  119. I love all the colors in this collection and would LOVE to use them all! The ones I would use the most are the grays. I love how they blend so well with different colors.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  120. I would use all the beiges in this set. They are perfect for all my piecing and you can never have too much!

    I have been a Facebook follower for a very long time. I have been following both designers series and love them!

  121. thanks so much for the chance to win this fabulous aurifil collection – I’d love a chance to try quilting with it 🙂 I’d probably use the light grey first !

  122. Love the greys, and have never tried Aurifil before as it’s difficult to find down here in Australia. Thanks for the giveaway

  123. I would use the light gray the most. I also liked your Facebook page. I have read great reviews of your thread. Thanks for the chance to win. Nancy James

  124. I really love those grays and need them for some upcoming projects since I don’t have any gray thread. I’ve been wanting to try Aurifil since I hear such good things about it but just haven’t gotten to the only shop that carries it in my area yet. 😀 Thanks for a chance to win some and finally get to try it.

  125. I really really like your thread and i am enjoying your blog very much. I would use the white thread the most. Thanks for the opportunity to win Elizabeth

  126. I love them all and would use them all! I just love thread and love to make beautiful things with them. My favorite is the cream/beige but I can certainly find a use for all. Gee I’m greedy!

  127. I am a new to your threads, they all look so wonderfull. I would probably use the light tan first as that seems to be my go-to color these days.

  128. I actually want to make a quilt using the entire collection as I LOVE these colors. I have a Mark pattern that would work perfectly. Thanks for this great contest!

  129. I use white or off-white most often in my piecing, unless I’m piecing with darker colors, then I’ll, obviously, go for a darker neutral. 🙂

  130. I would use the lightest gray color..I don’t remember the # on the spool I’m using right now…but I love it!

  131. I really like the light grey but I could really use the varieties of tans, browns right now since I am in two clubs one is using civil war prints and the other is prairie women sewing circle so it uses those browns and tans too!

  132. I usually piece with white and quilt with grey but need a nice ivory for the quilting my current WIP. Thanks for the chance!

  133. Three years ago I would touch brown fabric but now I’d be picking the paler brown colour as I sew a lot of browns for my wardrobe!

  134. I would use the pale grey – its a colour I always stitch with as it goes with so many other colours!

  135. I’ve liked that page more than once. Now, tell me this; how can one choose just one favorite???? That is like asking to choose your favorite child. Cannot be done!

  136. What a great collection, perfectly picked for piecing quilts! I use mostly light beige for my piecing but then sometimes white, and those greys are perfect for cool colours, and black is a necessary basic. Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful give away.

    1. YOU HAVE A VIRUS. WE HAVE HAD OVER 500 EMAILS FROM YOU TODAY

      From: AURIFIL BUZZ Reply-To: AURIFIL BUZZ Date: Tuesday, 4 December 2012 9:50 PM To: John and Pat Quinnell Subject: [New comment] Aurifil Edition of Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

      WordPress.com buntyw commented: “White!”

  137. I would use all the white, black, and grey for sure! I’ve never tried tan threads before, and I’m curious to see how well they blend with all sorts of colors. So exciting! Thank you for a great giveaway!

  138. I’ve never used your thread so this would be quite a treat for me. I would most likely use one of the gray threads. I have a brand new sewing machine and she would love it!

  139. Love the collection of neutral coloured threads. I think I would use the greys first. I already have a lot of the white/cream at home which I use daily.

  140. I LOVE Aurifil thread! I would use the darker taupe for the real saturated colors I work with as it would practically be invisible, and honestly speaking….I would use them all!

  141. Wow, what a great giveaway! Thank you. I would use the cream colored/off white the most. I like to use a neutral color when I’m piecing and quilting.

  142. All of them!!! I sew with a lot of white/black…and the tans are perfect too. I don’t know if I have much grey. Thanks for a chance to win.

  143. I like the light grey for piecing and I use the taupes for hand appliqué and also for quilting plus I love the creams for quilting etc. lets just say I love them all!

  144. Thanks for the chance!

    I generally use the lightest beige the most (2nd most the lightest grey). It depends on if I’m using warm or cool colours but I tend to use the warm more often.

  145. Honestly, they’d all get a lot of use, except for maybe the black. They’re all such great neutrals for piecing and quilting!

  146. I “Liked” you on facebook…and will be going back to check out that beautiful christmas quilt…I want to make one but haven’t found dthe perfect pattern..that one just might be it!
    Thanks
    Cheri
    quiltingnanny at yahoo dot com (or the google one!)

  147. I would probably use the white or off-white the most. Lovely looking thread – thanks for the chance to win it! jgemeroy(at)shaw(dot)ca

  148. I think I would use the light grey the most – I have never used this thread before but have heard great things!

  149. Wow – what a giveaway!!I use white or off-whit ein my every day sewing and would love to try some other colours for the quilting free motion. Thanks for the chance!

  150. I love Aurifil thread. I have used it for several years. I wish my local quilt shops would carry it in stock. It is hard to pick out colors on the internet.

  151. I’d probably make most use of the off-white that’s second from the top in the second row. I’m not sure why, but I piece pretty much everything in a colour like that, and very often talk myself into quilting with it because… it’ll blend, right? (I think I’m just lazy, not even bothering to change the thread colours…)

  152. I’ve been wanting to try Aurifil thread. I’d probably use the 2024 and 2600 first, but I know all the others would get used too.

  153. I like to switch up the thread colors when I’m quilting, so I’d probably use all of them equally. I’d really like to make a wholecloth quilt with different quilting colors.

  154. I am drawn to the grays….maybe our 25th wedding anniversary is in February and that quilt has lots of silver/gray tones.
    Thanks.
    Cindy

  155. Beautiful threads excite me almost as much as the fabrics they’re used on. (I think I’m becoming a thread snob.) I seem to go through black thread rather quickly, although with quilting the lightest neutrals (off white, cream, etc) seem to be my go-to threads.

  156. I imagine I would use a sand coloured thread the most…as it is “warm” and would blend with all my warm palette fabrics. Such a box looks too good to be true!

  157. I would probably use 2000 the most, but since it’s The Basics collection, I’m pretty sure all of them will be used heavily. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!

  158. I would use one of those greys the most. Such a great shade. Thx for the chance – great giveaway!!!

  159. I have never used this thread before and would love the chance. I use mostly ecru colored thread. Thanks for the chance.

  160. I would love to try the white for piecing. I haven’t had the chance to use this thread before.

  161. I would love to use the mid grey! I have just completed a wall-hanging of Charlie Chaplin. It would have been a superb colour for the job.

  162. Choice of which colour would depend on the project and fabric colours, so it could be white, ecru or the palest grey. I’ve not used your product before and would love to win this pack so that I could try it. From all the reviews I’ve read it really is a great product.

  163. the medium grey is my default color of choice. I use it with just about everything I piece and much of what a quilt

  164. I am a big fan of 2000 and have used it almost continuously and enjoyed every stitch…it is makes a task into a pleasure.

  165. I tend to use basic gray thread for all my quilt piecing but also for lots of other sewing. This kit would help me get out of that habit! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  166. I would use the grey the most. I piece almost everything I make with it. Since I started using aurifil I use nothing else.

  167. I love Aurifil cotton–100%:) I have used it for years and I have turned so many people on to it. The 2605 gray is the one I use mostly all the time for piecing. I keep red, black, blue, beige, and white on hand for the few times I have to change colors. The gray is great in all colors–except really light colors. It melts into the fabric–adding more accuracy in accurate seam and block units measures that the thick other brands.

  168. I love all the colors! I use the grey most often for piecing. It makes a huge difference in my sewing and my machine loves it. There is always a lot less lint when I use Aurifil.

  169. Since you seemed to have left out my favorite neutral, LIME GREEN, I will have to choose my second favorite which is the grays. Light gray for light colors and the darker gray for dark colors. Although, if I’m working on earthy colors, I would choose the ecrus and taupes. Oh no! What’s a girl to do?

  170. I would use the cream colors most! 🙂

    Thanks for chance to win your drawing! (don’t do FB…but I do LIKE you!) lol

  171. Wonderful giveaway! I would use the ecru colors most. Keeping my fingers crossed! I cannot get Aurifil thread locally. Thanks for the chance to win.

  172. I would use the light gray color the most, it seems to match with almost everything! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  173. Grey is my favorite neutral to use, so I would pick the 3rd column, 2nd thread. Thanks for the giveaway.

  174. I’m new to sewing so I would probably use the white first. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to use all of them! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  175. l would love to try this thread in beige or grey. l am on facebook in your group as well 🙂

  176. I would use 2024 the most. I want to try this thread so bad, but such an investment to just try, so hoping I WIN!

  177. OMG! OMG! OMG! I would absolutely love to win this collection! I have used Aurifil thread for a couple of years now and have been a FB fan for a while too. I use lots of the off white or cream color for my quilts.

  178. I always use a lot of white and grey, but right now my eye is on the honey colour on the left front. It’s perfect for my next project, and it will use a lot of thread. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  179. white would definitely be my first color
    thank you so much for the giveaway, threads are always welcome in a sewer room, I never had the chance to sew with Aurifil, let see if this is the right time ^_^

  180. I would use the white the most and then the beige. These are the 2 colors I use the most of in thread. But that grey color is very lovely.

  181. The light gray all the way on the right of the second row… I think it’s 2605. I do most of my piecing in light gray. Thanks for the chance to win!

  182. I have followed Alex and Aurifil Thread for a long time on Facebook <3 Alex is so funny…I enjoy following him on FB…he always makes me laugh.

  183. The gray – I’m making a grey, purple and green quilt right now. I’ve never tried Aurifil thread, but everyone seems to rave about it!

  184. I’d probably use the gray the most. I’ve never tried Aurifil before, but I hear great things about it…thanks for the chance to win some!

  185. I had previously like the facebook page, and I would probably use the beige coloured threads first, since that is what I’m using right now, but if I were to win this collection I assure you I would use them all!!

  186. I would probably use the off-white or the grey the most as that is the colour that I use most of the time for all my projects.

  187. You can’t go wrong with a cream or off white. I know I use a lot of them now.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  188. 2610 is my go-to color when quilting. I use it for all piecing, except when sewing with a predominately white quilt top. I am also just learning machine quilting and hear taupe is a great color for quilting the whole thing together. Love my Aurifil Thread!

  189. I would be using that Ivory thread a lot. The basic set looks great. Thanks so much for the chance to win. Don’t do/won’t do Facebook, so this is it for me.

  190. Those silver greys are yummy! I would love to get my hands on those, and the rest too. I could find a use for all of those yummy colours.

  191. I use white the most, and then the lighter gray. Those are my go to colors for piecing. Thanks for the great giveaway, Aurifil is the best!

  192. A medium celery green/ yellow-green goes with lots of light to medium fabrics, and it’s pretty too! It works as well as gray or tan but is more fun.

  193. I like the color #2310, a bit off white. slightly tan. I would use this most for piecing light fabrics, would also work wonderfully to quilt those light fabric quilts.

  194. The gray thread behind the black would get a lot of use and that creme one at the back in the middle. black and white make for a pretty harsh contrast, the other creamy ones look like they go into the green and that doesn’t go too well with most of my fabric …

  195. Hmmm…I tend to use white the most, but reading the other comments–maybe I need to try the others more! I also use Ecru or a creamy color quite often.

  196. I would most use the tans – they’re my go-to piecing colors. But I just pieced a quilt with a white background and there are places that the stitches are showing in the seams and it bugs me. So I need to change out more!

  197. I would use 2600 the most and, in fact, it is the color I do use the most. It blends with so many fabrics.

  198. I always seem to default to white but I think cream should maybe become my go to color, I think it would look better for those times a seam gets stressed and you see a stray thread peeking out!

  199. I would use the black the most. I’m not quite sure why, because I rarely use black fabric, but I always get through loads of black thread.

  200. Haven’t tried Aurifil thread yet but want to, I use a lot of black and white fabrics – so I guess I’d use the black the most.

  201. My “go to” colours are usually off whites but I have a few raw edge appliqués that I am working on and the greys are perfect for this as it gives a sketchy, hand drawn effect, especially if I use more than one grey.

  202. I have never tried Aurifil but would love to give it a go! I love the light grey colour – would match most of the fabric I have. Thanks for the giveaway!

  203. Sah-Wheet giveaway…a kit like this is definitely on my Christmas wishlist. If I win I must then have the I Can Fly collection….I just love Aurifil. Anyways I use the light khaki-ish color the most. It blends well with most of my quilt tops and backings. Thanks!!!

  204. Auriful seems to work the best in my Bernina quilting machine. I love it and it is hard to get in my area.

  205. I would use the white the most I’ve been making quilts for all my brothers & sisters (12 of them )

  206. Yesterday I purchased a new embroidery machine – my first! I need thread! Lot’s of thread! I’d like the basic set; but I’d be thrilled with either (any!)!

  207. Aurifil thread has been my go to thread for years. I use the light grey most often. It blends with everything.

  208. According to my teacher, I would be using the light gray the most but then white always works well for most baby quilts. Just love this little pack of thread.

  209. I love using the pale grey for all my piecing….it blends so well with almost everything. I not only liked your Facebook page but I love it!!!!

  210. PS — I have already liked the Auriful facebook page, that’s how I found out about your giveaway 🙂

  211. These colors would be a great addition to my slowly growing stash. But I think the gray would be the first one I would try. My very talented quilting friends are telling me to use gray for my quilting when I’m not sure what color to use because it blends nicely with any fabric colors.

  212. I would have a hard time choosing just one to use ‘all the time’! They all work so well in different applications. I want them especially because they’re Mark’s!!! He’s great.

  213. I’ve never used aurifil but would love to . I make lots of quilts for family & friends 🙂 also already liked on Facebook 🙂

  214. I have been following Aurifil on facebook and have “Liked” it. My favorite in the M.L. collection are the greys. They are great for piecing.

  215. I like the one at the bottom of the first column. When that is used up, I would used the two in the middle of the third column. I think they are great for piecing–especially hand piecing like hexagon quilts.

  216. Its a funny thing because my favorite is the grey but I mostly use white 🙂 Thanks for the great givaway!

  217. I think I would use the light gray. I have not tired this thread before. I would really like to find out what all the hype is about. I have heard several people say the thread is great. I have not found this thread where I live either. Hope I win so I can try it.

  218. I use the 2314 a lot but light gray is also my favorite for piecing. I love Aurifil and am already a Facebook fan. Thanks.

  219. My favorite would be either the off white or the light gray colors. They seem to work with everything.

  220. I would love to use all of these colors. but would use #2326 the most. I have already liked you on facebook.

  221. I would have to say I would use one of the beige colors the most. Thanks for the chance to win!

  222. I have a lot of Aurifil and use the the light grey for general piecing. So that is the color I would use first.

  223. I would mostly use use.. and black would be a close second.. I’ve never used this thread before. Would love to try it! Thanks for the chance to win!

  224. I “liked” the Aurifil facebook page. I like color 2610 a lot. Its a lovely color for everything. In fact, I do believe I have it in my thread box Right Now!

  225. Hard to choose just one as these are all the main colors I use but since I have to choose just one I will say 2024.

  226. I’ve been a big fan of Aurifuil thread for a long time, and a fan on Facebook as well. I think I would use the blues in this collection the most, but it’s a tough decision, as I love them all!

  227. I use the taupe the most. Rarely have to change the thread that way. Love your threads.

  228. I already “like” Aurifil!!

    And, I’d use the grays first and then use the beiges & creams.

  229. I have been wanting to try this thread. I have heard so much about it. I like all these colors, they all would be so useful. Probably a not quite white would be used the most by me.

  230. I already “like” Auriful – it’s the best tread I’ve ever used. I would use the grays first and then continue on to the beiges/creams.

  231. I would most use the shades of grey, for sure! I have purchased 1 spool of Aurifil (in grey) and I am almost out. Without a local dealer, it’s not super easy to get a hold of, this would be a great win! Pretty & practical!

  232. I would use the tans first. Lately I’ve been convincing myself that the grays are a good neutral too. I would love to win these threads. I already LOVE Aurifil!

  233. I found this selection of Mark’s at the Creative Stitches show in Edmonton and immediately purchased it! So far I have used the light grey and the light cream for my patchwork sewing. It is fantastic! The filled bobbin lasts so much longer than regular thread. It is my favourite thread for sure! Thanks!

  234. The beige is my fave for hand piecing hexagons. I keep a spool of the black in my sewing machine generally.

  235. What a beautiful sight! Love your thread! I probably use the tans mostly but also use other colors of course.

    Thank you for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win.

  236. I’ve already Liked on FB and follow.

    Thanks again for a chance to win.

  237. Steel blue, gorgeous, I’ve heard about your threads but never tried them, Thanks for the giveaway

  238. I would use an off white most, but it really depends what I am sewing on! I would really love to try aurifil thread, I normally use gutermann. It is readily available, so that makes it easy to stay with.

  239. I have used all of these colors. I am in an Auriful Club and cannot wait each month to receive my collection. If I have to choose a favorite it would be the 2600. It works best with my civil war reproductions.

  240. I would use one of the medium neutrals most often, probably 2314 or 2326. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

  241. I use a lot of white for hand quilting. I usually use two spools per king sized quilt 3 times a year.

  242. I’d use all of the greys a lot. It’s my favourite solid to mix in with bright quilts so i have a lot of it!

  243. I’m not sure which color I would use the most. I am a new quilter and would love to win this so I can try them all and find out. I like the color variations you have to offer.

  244. I would probably mostly just use the white thread but that dark grey in the right hand corner is pretty yummy.

  245. The colors in the “gift” bot to be given away are beautiful. I use lots of black and white, so this would be perfect to win.

  246. I already “like” the Aurifil page, and have started one of the block-of-the-month designs. I wish I’d found it sooner!

  247. Thanks for this fabulous giveaway!! I think the color I would use the most would be gray. I love to use it in my quilts for it blends so nicely.
