I think it also makes a difference on which brand of invisible thread you use. I like the YLI but I tried sulky and it was sucky. Heeheehee

that's what i ended up with, but first i tried superior and it wasn't.

i also tied the yli and didn't like that either. i just don't like them and the feeling is mutual! :hunf:

Same here. I decided that I want my quilting to show - even if it isn't "perfect." So my Stitch in the Ditch (SID) is more like a Meandering Around Ditch (MAD) lol - at least it meanders in pretty colors.

i use it a lot. i pice with reg thread and quilt with the invisible thread i tried it in my quilting machine and frame and i did a whole quilt with it its hard to see when threading the machine but no problems with it not once.

I almost always use a neutral thread. Neutrals are in tones of grey and beige... in different values from light to dark. When all is said and done they look pretty good.

Forgot to say I hate invisible thread so don't use it. I use just cotton thread.

You guys are the best on this site, you are so helpful and so quick to help. I just say a video on you tube saying that you should always bring up the bobbin thread to the top and hold both threads on top and start sewing. I didnt know how to do that and the video showed me.

This is a technique that I learned in a class Harriet Hargrave gave to my quilt guild. I don't have her book in front of me but I believe it's covered in her "Heirloom Quilting" book. Also, use the Search feature at the top of the page to look for other threads on invisible thread. Good luck!

I am hooked on varigated thread.

I have used invisible thread on more than one queen-sized quilt. You have to watch the tension and the pre-tension. If your machine has the multiple holes at the top for the thread to pass through (Pre-tension), use only 1 hole for invisible thread. Using more than 1 hole will cause stretching and possible breakage of the invisible thread. It also needs to be used with an upright spool holder, so the thread can unwind. If used with a sideways spool holder, the invisible thread will twist and cause knotting.
