I recently read another post about using clear "invisible" thread in a baby quilt and it put me in mind of a grave danger for us to keep in mind when making baby quilts.

Threads and even long hairs and can wrap themselves around a baby's fingers and toes causing a tourniquet effect that causes blood lost and even cuts to a digit. When clear/invisible synthetic threads are used in a baby quilt, it makes it even harder to distinguish when something is wrapped around a toe or finger. PLEASE be mindful of this fact when making baby/toddler quilts -- when trimming loose threads from the finished product, when applying the bindings.
