I think a grey, or another neutral, or even an invisible thread, might be your best choice. I also do like some else suggested and pool several feet on top of my project to see what it looks like.

Usually, if I don't want it to show, I also go for a thinner thread, which will hide in the seams better.


What weight thread is a "thinner" thread?
