Help

I just made a white, red and black double Irish Chain and need help deciding what fabric to use for backing. I'd like to use white but fear the colors will show through from the front. Is there a opaque batting to prevent that? Using a dark color on the back would show thru to the front. Help????

One of the problems with using a white backing is thread pokies from the front. If you quilt with two colors of thread the top thread may show up on the back as tiny dots if your thread tension isn't perfect.

I would use Warm and White! Jo'Ann's carries it . It comes on a roll .. so if you wanted to be extra sure you could take a piece of the backing to the store to double check or just grab a some of the bolt fabric in the store to see if it will Show thru.
