Advice on color thread for yellow wholecloth
#1
I have a smaller wholecloth for my kitchen island. that coordinates nicely with the table runner I'm working on. It's a bright yellow, and I used a plain muslin backing. I'd love to take this little project with me on a weekend getaway to our cabin for Mother's Day. I have no idea what color thread to use for the hand quilting. I used bright yellow thread for the runner because of the floral pattern, but I want my stitches to show on the wholecloth. Any suggestions??? It sure is bright. :)

I would suggest a darker yellow. However, agree with a previous post about your confidence in stitch quality. If very confident then a high contrasting thread will work. However, if not then something in the same color range might be better. I see that your whole cloth is "Prairie Flower" which is one of the designs I did for The Stencil Co.
