I use transparent thread quite a lot; especially like the 'smoke' color. It seems to disappear on darker fabrics better. One recommendation---do not wind your bobbin too fast. It will stretch and cause problems, like popping a plastic bobbin. One bobbin will hold maybe twice as much transp thread as regular, so fill only 1/2 full. Otherwise, enjoy :lol:
