I believe it was pretty brittle stuff years ago but was under the impression that it was okay these days?
I have used it for years and not had any issues. I have read that some well known quilters use the invisible thread in their quilts, if that helps. Like some others, I use the MonoPoly monofilament thread. It is a very soft and fine thread.
