Top thread showing a little
Hi all! I'm a newbie. My mom ambushed me with not one, but TWO Sunbonnet Sew quilting projects using baby clothes from my sister and me.
I got the first one appliqued, pieced and messily FMQed. I used coordinating deep purple top thread on the sashing and border, to keep the quilting subtle.
In a few places, this top thread shows through a bit on the cream-colored backing. It's not consistent across the quilt, or I'd consider it a happy design accident. My 1970s Viking died mid-quilting and I bought a beginner-quality Janome. This may have contributed to my sloppy tension.
Other than ripping out those border and sashing areas and re-quilting with better tension, is there an easy fix?
I was thinking matte fabric paint carefully dabbed on those tiny purple dots might conceal my mess-up?
Any other ideas? I was hoping to finish the embellishments and send this to my sister for Christmas. For the purposes of this project, done is better than perfect.
