Thread colour?
 

I am quilting my Boxes of Strings with grey thread on top and thought I would use grey in the bobbin so I didn't have to worry about tension. Well I did the 1/2 strip down the middle of my 90X90 (what was I thinking!!) and my quilting wasn't too bad but I decided to change out the bobbin thread to black. That is looking better with only a few spots of the grey showing that should be fine after washing the quilt. Now my dilemma.....do I pick out the 1/2 row of grey to replace it with black or do the second half of the row in grey and consider it an accent row down the center of the backing? What say you my quilting friends...[ATTACH=CONFIG]599439[/ATTACH]

I would remove the grey

I imagine some people will not like my suggestion, but I have for one reason or another used a fine tip black sharpie to go over a line like that. It never bled.

I think I would remove it also. I love the softer look the black gives it.

I am in favor of removing the gray !

I think it depends if I was keeping the quilt or passing it on. If it was for me, I'd use a fine tip sharpie, like ruthrings says. Otherwise, rip it out.

I agree. It all depends on where it's going.

I love the black, so I would change it.

I would likely change it.

I am with Ruth, color over with a sharpie. My daughters worked at a shop that did embroidery and this is how repairs were fixed.

Tartan, I prefer the black. I don't know anything about using Sharpies but if that works maybe do it?

My vote is for taking out that stitching. I think you will be happier in the long run.

I second this idea. I have done this to hide tiny dots of color onto the back lately too. No mater how careful you are, they is the proof I am not perfect! LOL!

I'm glad you will rip and redo. That is what i would do also.

Instead of picking it out if you like the black better just go over it with a sharpie

This is my thought too. If you leave it, if you are anything like me, it would haunt you. Just sit down, pour a glass of something, and just take it out carefully. You know you will be happier for it. Next time, make a test piece and save your sanity. Lol.

I know that picking stitches out is a long tedious thing to to...i removed four rows yesterday, but I would remove the gray and go with the black instead.

Pick, pick, pick!

Do you have a piece of the fabric that you could sew with the grey and use the sharpie (something I have never heard of before) so you can see if it works on your thread? Otherwise rip it out.
