I really want to use the light blue which matches the backing. The top has a variety of colors - I plan to change thread color for each color section. Do you think that lengthening the stitch would make a difference? Thanks

Someone just mentioned in a different post that it is a good idea to use same color on top and bottom. I FMQ a quilt for my DH for Christmas last year and had a problem with the yellow I was using on the bottom showing on the top where it was black. I fussed with the tension and got it the best I could, and then when I was done, I went back and hand colored where the light showed in the black with a black pigma pen.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I fully agree to try to use same color on back as front or you will always have pokey's showing through if there is a light and dark thread. This is my exsp. with using diff. threads. Also you will have less tension issues if you will use same thread on top as back I have learned that as well on my quilting adventure.
