    Mary, I used dove gray. I usually piece with that color. I used the monofilament on the pig and sunflower. Good luck.

    Lawsonmugs.....I typically use the color of the background fabric for the bobbin. Mostly, I use a neutral or gray like Wannabee. Good luck and hold on to the end...lol... It can get squirrelly.

    Jane very cute. I love your field of flowers. I didn't get to try the filament yet. I will post when I do. Thanks for all the hints.

    OK I tried the clear mono thread and this is a picture of what happened. I used red reg. thread in the bobbin. I used a button hole stitch. It looks like I sewed the patch on the pink fabric with red. I also sewed a straight stitch. same threads as the patch. I marked a black arrow to the straight stitching. I see very little dots of red. Am I doing something wrong. Are there some special settings or something?

    If your machine allows, try loosening the top thread tension so the bottom thread doesn't come to the top.
