A finer thread might help. I've used silk with success, but if you have a lot of different colors to match, I highly recommend getting one of those doughnut bobbin assortments of Bottom Line thread. It's fine (60 wt) and very strong, and much cheaper to buy than 10 spools of silk.

What a Great Idea! I've been using silk thread for a long time- but do not have all of those colors= I
am going to have to go check one of those out!
