What color thread for the back of this quilt??
#32
Interesting, I hadn't heard of this before. Thanks for the tip.
Invisafil by WonderFil might be a solution. It's 100wt polyester. It is not clear like the invisible thread, but it "sinks" into the fabric. You could use white Invisafil in both the bobbin and the needle. The white would sink into the dark blue of the batting, and it would work well on the top. No worries about "pokies". It's a good alternative to invisible thread: some machines don't like invisible thread ....

Another alternative you could try is to use the same color (white or something to match your top) in both the top threading and the bobbin. If you have any "mistakes" on the back that you don't want to show you can always use a Pigma Micron pen in a dark blue to color over the threads that you see as mistakes---I've done this before and it works like a charm. You do then need to iron over the part where you colored the thread in order to set the pigment.
