I've used invisible thread a lot, and as long as you do adjustments to the thread tension, you will be fine. Try it on scraps and fiddle with the tension until you like the look of the stitches. Also make sure the thread isn't getting hung up on something outside the machine... sometimes mine has gotten caught on the slit in the end of the thread spool where the thread was secured when it was purchased.
