Thread Color For Binding

I guess I'm the odd man out here. I hardly ever match the thread to the binding. I have C & C extra-strong hand-quilting threads in white, black, navy, a medium neutral (kind of a khaki) and a med/dark gray. I would use a medium neutral on it. Using the extra strong hand-quilting thread allows you to tug a bit after every few stitches and they will barely show. Take your time and your stitches will be fine!

I have always listened to Jenny and many others that say to match the color thread to your binding. It's not a rule that needs to be followed, it's just what I do. You should use whatever you think will be best for your quilt. It's ok if some of your stitches show..after all, they would all show if you sewed it by machine, right? :)

I use thread of the same color than the binding, the same that I use thread the same color than the appliquéed piece when I do needle turn appliqué. It just blends with the fabric and is hardly visible, no matter how big your stitches are.

agreed match to binding.
