Your thread doesn’t necessarily need to match your fabric. As long as the thread won’t show, it can be any color. Your results will appear neater (on the inside of the garment) if you use a color that blends, rather than clashes, with the fabric. If your fabric is light, use a light thread to prevent little contrast dots along your stitching line. If your fabric is dark, use a dark thread. If your tension is set correctly you shouldn’t have much show-through unless there is a significant contrast between the thread and the fabric. I use white and black thread for almost everything.
