Piece with white thread?
 

I usually piece with cream or tan. I have a quilt with white pieces and red. Do I piece with white? Will that look ok on the red?

Do a test run with some scraps, press the seams like you usually do, and then decide,

It will look just fine.

Hi,

I love to piece w red thread ~ Aurifil 50 wt mako cotton ~ regardless of the color fabrics I'm stitching. It makes me smile :)

I use grey a lot. Kinda splits the difference.
But I really don't think it will matter too much with the red.you just don't want the color to show through the white.

Try some samples. I bet it will be fine.

Don't normally see the piecing stitches so you should be good. Besides variety is the spice of life.

Like you, I usually piece with cream or tan thread. I use Aurifil thread. Today, I am piecing print fabric to white strips. I am using white thread and am pleased with the result; but I think cream thread would work just as well.

I piece with white on every color. I know I should use black for dark colors but I never do. It's never been a problem.

I too piece with white; old habits die hard!!! I did use black thread to piece with on 2 different quilts because there was lots of black and dark fabrics in them. NEVER AGAIN!!! It was impossible to see the seams and having to use the seam ripper was a nightmare.
