Using two colors is doable. Just use the same weight and manufacture and the tension should not be an issue.

back in the day when women actually wore hose and coordinated them to the outfit or the shoes I was told that taupe goes with anything & it did. It actually has a sort of grey cast (to my eyes, anyway) I would follow the recommendations of the others who recommended a neutral - even if it doesn't look like it works, sometimes after actually using it, it will work

Sure you can use monofilament thread.

Why not use the variegated threads on top and bottom

Seems like a good idea to me, too.
On the quilting, I'd go for something like a meander - so if there is a bit of slippage on the lining up of the two sides, it won't really matter. It's really really hard to line up a top and bottom exactly. FYI, I found a light grey thread that will work. Y'all are the best! |

Man, Bear, you are so right about the lining up. It was a nightmare. Next time I do this I'll pin it and hope to get better results instead of the 505. I can't meander yet, so, it's STID or cross hatch.
FYI, I found a light grey thread that will work. Y'all are the best! I would avoid Stitch in the Ditch - because as careful as one is in lining up - one will probably be a little bit off - and then the stitching would be 'on' on one side and 'off' on the other . (Ask me how I know) |
