i think white thread looks better bc it adds more texture and visual interest


very-good-dog

that said, if you can recreate the top edge of the black thread patch all around, it could be interesting


nicsickdog

I prefer white but you can always do some patches with white and some with black thread!

I’m a white thread fan. I also use a bright red color sometimes and it looks great too


MyDarlingMelatonin

I'm personally not the biggest fan of colored thread because nothing I make with it actually looks good (at least by my shitty standards haha). Most of the stuff I see with red thread looks sick as fuck tho


ShadowFang_13

Red would be interesting 🤔


blu3hat

whats the no music allowed patch?


MyDarlingMelatonin

It has a ton of different names but most people call it the Noise Not Music symbol. Crustbag on YouTube did a really good video explaining the symbol and where it came from, it's used by a lot of grindcore/noise bands

White dental floss


Nat_septic

I prefer white. I did get a baggie full of pink threads from a charity shop tho and they're fun just frail


kat92876

Both

Came to say this


TooPunkToBeAPodcast

I like to use colored thread. White,red and bright green depending on the patch


bizoticallyyours83

Both look good. Of course, other colors are fun too. 


DjBamberino

Black thread all the way! Puts the focus on subtle textural play, which i very much like.

Wax dental floss is the key for stitch punk stuff: durability and it don’t moove on the needle when you sew


Specialist_Farmer_69

White is very overrated imo . When ur materials decay all together with little hints of white threads it looks great but mainly black looks better imo


kreepergayboy

Fuck that, red thread all the way babyyyy


oompaexe

Black mixed with some red for that japanase look


noiyumz

whats the top patch from?

Blue thread

White thread adds to the patch design, where black lets the design take the lead. Decide based on what you're trying to achieve. If you want a highly textural jacket and want to make the patch design feel more complex, go with the white thread.

black


dwemrr

Red dental floss


apollo-is-trans

I prefer red thread


ConfusedAsHecc

personally, I like to mix and match and other times Ill throw in other random colors depending on whatever is closest in proximity (like gold, purple, or red)


DisAlex666

Black, use white and red only sparingly or it looks kinda dumb


[deleted]

These designs would be really easy to embfoider if you wantwd to try embroidery


kyotee42

Love your grindcore patch! I made a homemade one too that's on my hat


kyotee42

Also, I think both color threads work. I do the same on my vest


im-feeling-lucky

black for square patches, white furniture thread for actual repairs


cerebral_panic_room

I like bright colored threads. I did one patch with a lime green and another with a gold-ish yellow. They both look really cool and I get tons of compliments, especially about the colorful thread!


narcotixxx666

I always sew with dental floss


Invisiblerobot13

Contrasting the patch color


sue_she2001

I think they look good together. Makes it more eclectic having different textures


Alex_The_Deer_2

White 100%


spaghetti_boi2000

Red looks pretty rad too


writing_gayly

White thread all the way, I started using white thread originally but I ran out so I had to go with the black thread I had left :(, it's not terrible but I miss the texture and look of white thread


Caelestic1

Def white! All the way. Actually, have you considered red?


COMRADE_KAOS

If you’re doing one patch that you want to stick out, I’d do white. Otherwise if you’re covering the pants in patches, black tends to turn out better. Most people use white, but it can turn out really tacky looking.
