Invisible thread use
I am having difficulty with the bobbin thread showing on top. I have a 50wt thread in the bobbin. I was told not to use the invisible thread in the bobbin....any help out there? Need information on Brand, tension and tips for a 6600.

Loosen your top thread tension.....it's too tight and is pulling up the bobbin thread.....

We recently had a quilt instructor come to our guild that only uses invisible thread in her bobbin so I tried winding the bobbin with Monopoly thread-got it from Superior Threads-and machine quilted a wall hanging. It worked great and will use it again. I have a Janome 11000se and did not even need to adjust the tensions!

when winding a bobbin with the "clear" threads you need to slow it down if possible or do it in small increments. I've busted more than one bobbin before I learned how to do it.

In my opinion, I don't use clear on quilts that will be washed. I use the same thread on the top as on the bottom if you are FMQ. Invisible thread is OK on a wall hanging since they are seldom washed.

In my ignorance, wound a bobbin with invisible thread -- and then the bobbin would not come off the winder peg. Took the machine in thinking it was the machine's fault! It had created a tension of it's own, and squeezed it too tight to remove.... After hours of unwinding the bobbin was free, free at last!
