I'm sure glad I read this! I've almost always used mono thread on my gift baby quilts - I never imagined it could be a hazard. Thanks for the info

Another reason it's not recommended for baby quilts is if stitches undo the invisible thread can get wrapped around a baby's finger and cut off circulation.
