Invisible thread needed
 
Looking for a link to purchase polyester invisible thread that is suitable for longarm quilting. I've searched several sites and can't seem to find any listed under the 'longarm thread' section. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't tried it on a longarm yet, but I've always been very happy with the results using the Superior monopoly on a domestic sewing machine.

Superior Monopoly is great in the LA and brandeesmom provided a link. Another equally effective monofilament is Fil-Tec Essence but it is nylon not polyester. I have used both and have been pleased with the results on both.

Fil-Tec usually has booths at the larger shows. They no longer sell direct to the end user on line unless you make a minimum purchase and have a resale certificate. I found a couple of sources for the mini cones which work fine on a LA.

Thanks so much. I already have nylon and don't like how it feels on the fabric, so looking forward to the polyester. Many thanks. I went right to the site and ordered some.

I purchase mine from Superior Threads. Works great in my Longarm. I use a polyester or cotton thread in the bobbin.

I think that Superior makes the best monofilament thread. They have clear and smoke - the latter is for use with dark colors.
