If you will use a cream thread as you stitch it will end up looking sort of like shadowing. I think you might like it. Try on a sample.

I use a black lite on my longarm when doing white on white....turn all other lites off

www.superiorthreads.com are you listening? We need a colored thread that turns white when washed.

I use a lot of light gray.

Agree ... light on an angle or less light. Try a light with a soft yellow light as opposed to a daylight/blue light.

I had the same problem when I was FMQ'ing black on black. Drove me nuts! My solution was to take a piece of colored WASHABLE chalk which i gently rubbed against the quilt top. It breaks the color up just enough that I could see my stitching. It is a bit dusty to work with but it worked for me. Washed the quilt top afterwards and every bit of chalk was gone! Very important to use washable chalk...and do a sample piece, of course. Hope that helps!

Amen to that!

I would try a machine embroidery thread - the threads are strong and they generally have a lot of shine which makes them show up. They are great for quilting and you can get them in 5000 m cones

I decided against the stippling though so that means that I don't have to worry too much about seeing the thread. Next time I'll do stippling though! |

When I quilt white thread on white fabric I place a light/lamp to the side of the quilting area so it throws shadows on the stitching. This allows me to see where I have already stitched.
