Sometimes the extra length gives it a little time to relax and sew a little better.
This is a technique that I learned in a class Harriet Hargrave gave to my quilt guild. I don't have her book in front of me but I believe it's covered in her "Heirloom Quilting" book. Also, use the Search feature at the top of the page to look for other threads on invisible thread. Good luck!
