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

Thanks. If I sew today I am going to try it.

When you do let us know how it worked out.

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.

Dang, my flower field is upside down!

Jane, it is whimsical...perfect for this type of block/quit. Keep it!!! :)

Jane....I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Cute cute block... Love the lady bugs and detail on leaves. Looks great!!

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? :mad::shock::o

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