Thank you
I have a 100% poly invisible. I'd have to go check the brand but it was about $10 for yards and yards and yards. I use a thread sock/net with mine to keep it from unwinding too fast and only use it on top. I don't have the nerve to try to put it on the bottom.
Here's a hint that I learned here. When threading the machine, take a magic marker and darken the end of your thread so it's easier to see when threading.
I only machine quilt very small items, but I've really liked the results when using the invisible thread.
