I've used invisible thread for things like wallhangings and pillows.. but never on a quilt.. I don't know that the nylon won't dry out and get brittle.. It would probably last quite awhile, but I have some of my grandmother's quilts and I wonder if it would have lasted that long? I want my grandchildren to be able to pass my quilts along to their children. So I don't ever use it on quilts.

I also use the clear Sulky thread. It is very fine and soft, not like monofilament that I knew in the past, which was why I didn't use it again until now. I'm using it to machine applique turned under seam pieces and I like it. You can't see it unless you look very closely. I am using normal thread in the bobbin that matches the background around the applique.

The thread comes in tones that will seem to disappear on most fabrics.


Thank you for posting the Invisafil site.
