    Tried red thread and it screamed back at me. Picked it out. Thinking about using black or white thread, what do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]581095[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]581096[/ATTACH] Thanks in advance for your help.

    How about a variegated grey? Just a thought.

    grey is a good choice... if not available, i'd go with the white before the black

    ​You could use smoke invisible thread. Nice job keeping all the borders straight.

    A variegated grey does sound nice. If it were mine I would probably go with a variegated red.
