Patti, I have a question about thread color when doing trapunto. Do you use a thread that will sort of disappear or a contrasting thread??? On my AOTH the embroidery thread I am using is a cranberry color. I was thinking of doing the outlining for the trapunto work in a similar color. Or would it be better on my dark blue background to use a dark blue or black that wouldn't show? I have never done trapunto before and am really interested in trying this.
