Default Bobbin Thread Question

Hiya, Quilters,

I'm quilting a reversible Amish-inspired quilt, using corduroy fabrics. The front has a lot of black and the back has a lot of red. I want subtle quilting lines, so I thought I would try red in the bobbin and black on top. When I tried out a sample sandwich (using leftover fabric), I was mostly happy with the results, except the red bobbin thread on the bottom was peeking through the black quilt top ever so slightly. Is this the nature of the beast or is there some adjustment I can make with the tension?

As always, thanks for all your help!

Best,
Aso
