When I stitch in the ditch I use invisable thread , smoke colored. That way I do not have to change thread colors.
A few tips for invisable thread.
- Use a cone holder to allow the thread to relax before the tension disks
- Practice on a scrap quilt sandwich to make any tension adjustments
- Use regular thread in the bobbin ( you can use invisable , but of you never used it before .. best to use the regular thread)
- Some use a metallic needle , but get the best results using a new smaller needle
- A walking foot
- Use a high quality thread , the stuff sold in the rack that comes on a cardboard then covered in plastic is always a problem for me. I did not ever think I could use invisable till I found a better quality.
