The fineness of the seam/thread is both lovely and an issue to my vision issues! I usually make the decision most of the time to recut/sew if I can rather than take out stitches which is my last resort. Even before using the So Fine, with cotton threads I could barely see the stitches even with my readers on. When you add my small stitches to the mix -- it's better just to be accurate or have lots of fabric!! To correct things I need an ott/direct sun light and serious reader strength.
In my scrappy style of sewing typically I use a camel/light tan thread and a medium to light slate blue/gray, one each top and bottom. Both of those colors tend to disappear the best, and usually I can at least see the thread line if not the individual stitches on one side or the other.
