How Can You Do Invisible Machine Applique with Colored Thread??
In my never ending quest to conquer truly invisible machine applique (turned edge), I came
upon the Superior Threads information chart for sewing and quilting. It recommended the Monopoly clear polyester thread (which I have used and is great) and also their Kimono silk thread, both specifically recommended for invisible machine applique.
The Kimono thread is not clear, however, but comes in "blending" colors. If you use a blind hem stitch and your background fabric is light in color and your applique fabric is dark, how would you have anything remotely invisible? You have 3-4 stitches on your background fabric with a stitch onto your applique- two fabrics with one color of thread?
What thread do you use when you really want the stitches to be invisible? Thanks for your help!
