Because the fabric is pretty busy and I was stitching with a rust color thread that blended right into the fabric on the top side of the quilt. I was able to SID all the borders and that gave me something to quilt within when I loaded the quilt upsidedown. Then using the rust color thread I could easily see actually where I was quilting. Hope this helps.
