    Maybe you can choose a decorative stitch and pink thread and go over the seams and cover this up?
    The decorative stitch will add a little interest as well as camoflouge the white thread.

    have done that several times - just make sure it is a permanent marker.

    Before you make that decision, first try the marker on a piece of scrap fabric sewn with the same thread to see what it will look like when dry. If you go to a craft store you can find a permanent thin point marker. I bought a pkg of several colors for about $20 at Michael's.

    This makes my morning. I'm no LOL about your stitching, but the fact that when I stitch in the dish, I always miss my mark. I use a permanent Ball Point Pen anytime I make a mistake or if it is a color I can't find in a Pen, I use the permanent markerl.

    What is that old Saying about "killing the cat?"

    Go to "General Chit-Chat" to see cat quotes, etc.
