[Video Tutorial] How to Pick Thread Colours

1/3/2017

1 Comment

 
Choosing the correct thread colour can be a daunting task, so we created a tutorial to ease that process.

Hint: imagine all the spools as candy, and you'll be much more motivated!

Tips for Picking Thread Color

Here are a few tips that we find help us pick out the right thread colour to go with our design. 
  • If you want your mistakes to be hidden, pick a thread color that disappears into the colour of your fabric.
  • If you are picking a thread color for a printed fabric, go with the color of the fabric that is constant throughout the entire print or the background color.
  • When in doubt, go with a thread shade darker rather than a shade lighter as it will be less obvious to the eye.
​In the end, just remember, you are the designer, so pick the colour you are drawn to the most!

Hello, Shiela! Before anything else, I just want to thank you for all these advices that you mentioned. Sewing and fashion are not really important for me as I know that I am not good at combining colors and being creative in general. But if I will be given the chance to pick threads colored that has something to do with fashion, I will grab that chance because that’s going to be my first time! Hopefully, I will be able to apply all tips that you mentioned here!
