I would choose a varigated thread that has all of the colours of purple, blue, yellow etc in it. That way you can have purple on the back and if you have any tension problems it will not be very noticeable on the top because of the varied colours.

By the way, we're planning on visiting LA in May. Hope you have some good weather ordered.

No expert here either, but this sounds like the best choice, although I really like the idea of the varigated is you were doing free motion. I'm a beginner too, and have only done SID, it's a little safer.
