Ok I have another question...sorry if these questions seem silly but I am so new to this....does the bobbin thread have to be the same color as the top thread when monogramming?

I usually use the same colour in the bobbin if it's going to be seen, otherwise I use white (or black) bobbin thread.

No, but if your tension is not perfect you can see the bobbin thread on the front. You will see the back so, I try to use the color of the towel for the back or the color of the monogram.

If it can be seen I prefer to use the same colour. Otherwise - as on a shirt - I use bobbin thread.

It seems to look better to me if I use the same color bobbin. By the way...your question is not silly. It helps others to learn as well.

Cherry Sue, no question is too silly for us - we all were new at this at one time or the other - as you see - most use the same color - if they are fearful that the bobbin thread will show - otherwise - usually the only time you would use the same color is in FSL. I have used the same color on a few monograms.
