Default Can you have a red top thread and a whute bottom thread?

I would like to stitch in the ditch with a red thread on top and a white thread showing on the backing.
I have tried to do this on 3 different sewing machines. Either I can see the white thread peeking thru on top or the red thread peeking thru on the backing.

I know that theoretically this is possible since the lock stitch should be right in the center between the top and the backing. In my case it should be in the batting.

Has anyone tried this and actually made it happen?
