So pretty! Monofilament thread is very thin and not “pokey” though it used to be.
Either way if you’re going to do lines however far apart you might like, I would suggest doing all the black then all the color. When you get to the color do a few really small stitches to secure the thread then lift your foot and jump over the color starting again with tiny securing stitches and go to the edge. Repeat then go back and do the same in the colored area. The other way is to leave a long tail at each jump and knot and bury them.
Honestly I would start with the color section because it’s best to work from the middle out.
Or use a grey thread to blend with it all so you don’t have to worry about jumping and tying off.
