do you put the invisible thread in the bobbin also? is it hard to wind the bobbin on the sewing machine, will the thread stretch when I wind the bobbin....
It can be done but you have to wind the bobbins really slow and careful.

[/QUOTE]I did try the invisble thread in the top and thread that matched the backing but when I did the stippling the thread from the back show as little dots on the front, is there some way to stop that?[/QUOTE]

You'll have to play with the tension on a practice quilt sandwich.

[/QUOTE]is there anything different that I would need to do to make this thread work? like setting on the sewing machine .....[/QUOTE]

Voodoo helps a little.

[/QUOTE]I have the machine set up for stippling with the feeddogs dropped and the tenion set right, is there anything else I need to know before I start? Thanks for your help....[/QUOTE]

Several swear words can also be slightly helpful.
