I'm using a tan silk thread that I use for most of my applique.
Kathy, I think it would depend on your method of applique. I'm doing needle turn, so I don't want my stitches to show. If I were doing a blanket stitch I would do something to complement. Please use your best judgement.
Thanks Ruthie and Mar...I am going to do needle turn.....
I am using silk thread and try to match when I have the color, but have a few neutrals that fill in when I can't match.
