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!!!!!

Your quilt is so cute! Perfect to add that black. And the back is pretty. I've seen where a wobbly back and forth over the line is used instead of actual SID. But I think your stitching turned out just fine.

If the different colored thread bothers you, you can take a Sharpie pen and go over the thread. It takes time but looks pretty good.
