Nylon thread
#3
I use the poly invisiable and have never had any problems. I use it for applique if I don't want to take away from the design. Don't use it for baby quilts. If your stitches are very big, little fingers can get caught.

I use Sew Art nylon and I tried to fry it with the iron and I couldn't so I went ahead and used it extensively. It's so strong that I do worry that it could eat away at the cotton fabric over time, especially in the laundry but I've heard a claim from someone that's been using it for years that it hasn't happened.

When I made my first quilt top (in the last century) and which I am still hand quilting, I used nylon thread (serger thread, actually) and it did not melt when I pressed the blocks/quilt. It is, however, one of the many, many wrong things I did in making that quilt. That WIP gives a whole new meaning to the term, "Practice Quilt".
