What tricks do you have for quilting with white thread on white background? I'm going crazy trying to see my thread and where I've been. Stippling is almost impossible! I have an extra LED-light attached to the machine and there is plenty of light in the room but it's still difficult to see the thread. I also have perfect eye-sight so there should be no issues with this.
In my attempts I've used cotton thread on cotton fabric. Is there more contrast if I was to use poly thread instead? I have a twin size quilt on which I'd like to use a lot of stippling. It might get difficult...
Any tricks that you could share would be very much appreciated...
And Merry Christmas of course (in Sweden we celebrate on the night of the 24th so today is a bit like the day after).
God Jul to you. My father's parents came from Varmland, Sweden. I was always referred to as the Svenska Flicka. First granddaughter born, I guess!
I get my thread from Connecting Threads and they have sets of threads and if I am not mistaken there is a package of "whites" - ranging in color - (it comes in whites to black and pale pale tan to dark brown) For what it is worth. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Edie
