to see or not to see your stitches

This one of six has been a lesson on finding the right thread.
Whether you're happy to show a few stitches
 or want them completely hidden is a personal preference.

Generally I use an offwhite or a pale grey thread,

which are usually okay if I'm piecing patterned fabrics.

I have used darker threads in the past when I'm stitching dark fabrics.

And so we have the dilemma of stitching dark and light together.

I am a pretty lazy stitcher, in that I like a long continuous thread with few knots.

 However I'm not keen on the white showing through the green.

I tried a medium blue but wasnt keen on the stitches showing on the paler fabrics.

 So I've taken the decision to sew quality stitches,
afterall I am in no rush,
so mindful stitches it is.

Apologies for the colour of my photographs

the green I have used is really green in real life.
