Do you use a neutral like gray or beige or do you match the color to the applique piece? I'm starting on needle turn and using guterman cotton (50 weight), but my stitches are not as invisible as I'd like.
Someone suggested to use the 60 weight cotton thread and someone else suggested the Masterpiece threads from Connecting threads.
