Worrying about thread choice
I have a chevron quilt top of different colours and would like to use an invisible thread for my top thread as I am unhappy with the gazillion different colored threads I have tried on my sample blocks. Even soft greys seem to fight with some of my patterned fabrics and "take away" from the chevrons. I have read previous threads about the choice of using monofilament threads, both nylon and poly.
I purchased a Signature nylon monofilament thread as it was the type sold at my local quilt shop but on reading all the posts I am concerned I am doing the right thing? The quilt will be for my 2 year old grandson and I intend to use a serpentine stitch in horizontal lines 1" apart over the entire quilt. Is the nylon okay to use? When I snap the thread between my hands it breaks at about the same point that my cotton threads will break so I'm assuming it would be no more "dangerous" than if a loose loop of cotton thread happened to be worked loose by little fingers? My machine is very happy with it whilst I use cotton in the bobbin and reduce the tension. Should I try to source a poly invisible thread instead and why?
