Interesting. I use white on white very often and have not had any problems with quilting the fabric with ease. Some good ideas posted above. Will watch my own quilting more closely to see if the w/w or cream on white present consistent problems. There are many factors that can cause a problem and just as many solutions: machine, needle size, thread, pressure, speed, tension, and the fabric. Keep after it, SueT until you find the answer for YOU.
