Default Couching/Quilting from the backside?

Sometimes I get an idea as I fall asleep and this one is stuck in my head. Awhile back I got a pre-stenciled wide backing that you would use to quilt an allover design from the back.
1) Has anyone used this? Did the design wash out easily after quilting?
2) And will the bobbin thread look good on the top? I worry about those occasional loop and backlashes that happen sometimes.

Ok, part 2 of my idea/dream... the backing is a plain off white and I am not fond of plain anything LOL
So, what if I used a couching foot and a decorative yarn as I quilt on the backside to jazz it up a bit?
Has anyone done anything like this or should I forget the whole idea?
