Then I thought why not try embroidery floss. See the line of stitching above the branch? More visible, with a nice sheen. I like it. Luckily I didn't do very much with the quilting thread, so there's not that much to rip out.

Quilting with Embroidery Thread
I'm nearing the finish line on my wool bird applique quilt. I added a cotton border and machine quilted it. But I wanted to hand quilt the central wool panel.
I had some beige hand quilting thread, perfectly matched to my background. See the line of stitching below the branch? Hard to see, right? I didn't like it and wasn't sure what to do.
