Not that mine is perfect...but I have learned and used a few tips some of which I have learned here and others from Craftsy. I use Bottom Line 60 wt thread in the top for SITD which helps with not seeing the stitching. I do go slowly as I find it looks better. After spending all the time piecing the top, I want the quilting to look the best it can so I don't mind going slowly. I use pieces of the loosely woven drawer liners (instead of gloves) and I pull the fabrics out on each side of the seam where I am stitching. It seems then that when I release the fabric, it springs back over the stitching. Since I mostly press the seams to one side, I try to stitch on the downhill side (where it has less bulk). I read here where someone even moves the needle left to right to do this. I don't however. I would love any other suggestions.

I have a collection of 80 sharpie markers.
When I get out of the line, I use a fine point sharpie and color the thread.
This is a wonderful quilt. And like others have said, after you wash it, the threads will probably will not be visible at all.
Great Job!!!!!
