I will keep that in mind. I realize not every quilt lends itself well to SID, but most of them do. I really like to do that first; it makes my quilt so much more secure for all the other stitching I like to do. I'm almost finished a top that is mostly a dark plum and I am going to do SID in dark plum, but if I'm not happy with it, I'll try my smoke colored invisible thread on the top.
