I tried using it once and did not like it but I am so used to the thread I already use. I didn't like the feel of it after either. I used it making a tablerunner. Let me know how you like it. There's always a first time. I might give it a second chance. Thanks for sharing

Nylon thread stands up to heat. It yellows at 300°F and melts at 500°F.
Nylon thread has excellent resistance to mildew, aging, and abrasion.

I got 12,800 yard cone for $8.!! So it was worth trying it out good or bad. I love trying different threads.

I'm getting so many pms about this thread. Once again it is not the invisible thread, it isn't pokey, it's soft like regular thread. It's shinny and looks like the 100wt silk thread I have. It sews like the silk thread. It comes in many colors for embroidery and fabric fill work. I'll post a picture of the quilting stitches soon.
