I noticed a tension issue show up when my threads didn't match front and back, and one was much different than the predominate color of the fabric. Not sure if it was my technique on FMQ or what. I had it into the shop twice without any resolution. (they told me I was using 'cheap' thread) Very frustrating! And, why is it that you can get super results on your practice piece..and without changing a thing, you move to your quilt and it all gets wonky!?! I do like the varigated threads too. Hope you'll post a picture when you are done! (I hope this didn't sound too negative, just wanted to warn you of a problem I recently had...)

There was just a topic on here about using different thread in the top and bottom, and the little bits that showed due to changing tension issues. They said that it may disappear when washed/dryed and that they also considered it another design element if it didn't :wink: :D:D:D
