I always have trouble choosing the right color thread for peoples' skin. Either the color I use is too dark, too light, or not even near any skin color I've ever seen! I'd appreciate knowing what brand/color thread you use for this.

My favorite thread for skin rendition are Brother Polyester color 307 (linen) or color 124 (flesh pink)
Royal color 508 and 203 works as well.
Outback color E084 and E053 are also good.
Cheers

I use Robison Anton rayon. Ivory for Asian. Bisque for white babies, Flesh is slightly more tanned. I still struggle with varieties of browns! Not sure we're being well served there by the thread companies!

I also use Robison Anton, Rayon and Polyester, colour Bisque for skin colouring on most designs..

I find that the colours Flesh and Flesh Pink, just don't look right.
