glow in the dark thread embroidery also invisible thread
First Embroidery Library has idea - glow in the dark thread says it works on red work, also on embroidery machine.
Sounds interesting but does it work easily and is it really a good glow.
2nd the invisible thread - is one better than another, is it easy or breaks, tangles etc.
Thanks for any information you may have.

I just bought some glow in the dark thread, a total waste of money, it never has glowed, I had it sitting in the west window for 2 days, no glow, then thinking maybe the window uv filter was hindering it, my husband put the spool outside in direct all day sunlight, still no glow.

I just used it to do a quilt as you go on a Halloween table runner. Used it in the top thread. Only thing I did was slowed my machine down otherwise it shredded. I held it up to the light (it was night when I finished) and it glowed. Not sure of the brand.

I've been using YLI Wonder invisible thread (100% nylon) with success. It's a bit stretchy, and troublesome if you have to seam rip, but I haven't experienced problems with breaking or tangling. I use cotton thread (to match my background color) in the bobbin. I did have to do some tension adjustments.
