Bella, You really need to invent that thread, you'll be rich, rich, rich! I'm gonna have to look for one of those litte clip on lights as I think that would've helped a lot. I sew in front of a window & had a lamp placed to shine over my left shoulder and used a small Ott light placed on it's side behind and still couldn't see!

I wish I had seen this "thread" YEARS ago! I thought the problem in seeing black on black was ME...as in "I guess I'm getting old." I guess I am not sinking into decrepitude as fast as I thought. Thanks, guys!

Wouldn't it be nice to have thread like that???

I had to put my small Ott lite on my cutting table directly above the pieces I was pinning and then it still wasn't always clear.

I sent an e-mail to Superior thread and the answer back is that they will check out the possibility of this type of thread
today I think I will experiment with coloring some thread with a iron out dissapearing marker....thinking of taping the marker to machine case so the thread has to run over it...and doing pebbles......on a sample square, obviosly..lol
