But the white is impossible to find. I used up all my old white thread with the first round of masks. I'm doing them in batches when I give them away. Anyway - I'm using variegated thread on most masks now, either red/whte/blue, black/gray/white, or rainbow thread. I, like you, have changed spools often. I keep threatening to set up my other sewing machine to handle the colorful threads. I'm glad it's not just me!

Years ago when Hancock's had the 50% off sales, I would always get a couple spools of white thread. So I've not bought any white since before they closed. <br /> As I started on the masks, I decided to use the colored thread whenever possible. Luckily, I used to make pageant dresses for people so I had a good stock of colored threads especially pinks, blues, aquas, lavenders, purples, and some just odd colors. <br /> Yes, I have to rethread the machine more, but it's worth it to not run out of thread. I would try to use one color on as many masks as possible. <br /> I never, ever thought I'd be getting low on any thread for the rest of my sewing years! <br /> Luckily, I also had a lot of scraps given to me, and I'd won some pieces on blog giveaways which really helped!
