When doing applique you should use a fine weight thread, silk is often preferred, to match your applique or a shade lighter if necessary. When in doubt, or with multicolored patterns, gray can be used. On a side note, when piecing gray thread also works well as a "universal color".

How do you color fabric?

There are many different ways to color fabric. The most common way is to soak it in a dye. The dye you use can be a commercial product, or a homemade dye made by boiling water with a color soluable item, such as berries. There are many excellent websites you can find by typing "homemade dyes" in your search box, if you need more info. Another way of coloring fabric is to paint it. Most people use a commercial fabric paint, but you can use any kind of paint you want, crayons or even marking pens. Yet another, more complicated way, is to sew or glue thread onto the fabric. This is usually done in the form of embroidery or needlepoint. Again, there are many fine websites to give you instructions on the techniques.
