This information has always been helpful from your past posts! Especially when new colors are added to each collection! I haven’t used enough different solids to make an opinion on which one I like best. Color and price are usually what determines my purchases!

Thanks, Karen! I was surprised how much I needed to update this time. I guess a lot can change in four years =)

I have been wondering if there are any resources matching a line of quilting solids to DMC embroidery colors. Do you (or any fellow readers) know of any?

I was going to try the RJR Cotton+Steel Cotton Supreme solids for a quilt, never used them before. Have you ever used the Cotton Supreme solids? If you have, is it close to Art Gallery or Riley Blake fabrics? Those are pretty much the solids I have used before.

Thank you! Where did you get all the swatch cards?

Most of the swatch cards I received from the manufacturers, since I have at times requested fabrics directly from the manufacturers for my projects. However, most of the swatch cards you can find online for sell, if you do a search. Good luck!
