Don't whipstitch. Your stitches will show no matter what kind of thread you use and how tight you pull the stitches. Use a ladder stitch instead.

I like to use Superior's Bottom Line thread on bobbins for hand-piecing and applique. It is strong, fine, will sink beautifully into the fabric, and you can purchase an assortment of colors in a donut at a very affordable price.
