You can always use a single stand of embroidery thread. Any of us that embroider usually have a bunch of that around in a several colors.

If you get desperate enough for the same color thread. Take a long thread from the fabric you're using. Tear it on the straight of grain and if it's straight, you should be able to pull out one long thread that will match perfectly because it came from the fabric you are using...
Sounds too easy doesn't it?

Ha! Now why didn't I think of that. I made an apron this weekend and put a cute little peach ribbon bow on it and didn't have any peach thread to keep it in place. But I have peach embroidery thread! I'll take care of that little problem tonight while in front of the tv.
