Maybe it's a tension problem, but I find that if I use invisible thread in the bobbin, it feels scratchy. I try to use it only on wall hangings now but I do like it when I have to quilt over different colors. My quilting isn't lovely enough that I want it to be a focal point in my quilts.

I absolutely will not use invisible thread, sorry.

I like your comment you can't find your invisible thread . Has anyone ever used mettler invisible poly ?

I use the invisible poly I like it, used it for stitch in the ditch and FM,I did it on a bed quilt seems to be holding out just fine

I use it all the time for STID but I don't use it in the bobbin. I match that thread to the backing. Here's what I've learned, move it away from the machine on a spool holder of some kind, play with your tension a little if you have problems. Use a small needle, 60 or 70 to prevent breakage. I use smoke on the darker fabrics and the transparent clear on lighter stuff. I get mine from CT.

I don't like using invisible thread. It's stretchy and so fine that it's like working with invisible curled up hair. And my machine has issues with it too. I've used it a few times on wallhangings but never used it on a usable quilt.

I've thought that before too!

I have to disagree with the durability of invisible thread, I patched a hole in a scrub top with invisble thread(bottom and top) lined the pattern up perfectly and that scrub top was washed weekly, I now have uniforms but that scrub top still exists with no problems washing drying and ironing using superior thread. I think the thread is a personal choice some like it, some don't. To me its just another thread, I don't love or hate it and I am not opposed to using it if it suits my purpose. I do think the durability is there is you use a good brand of thread.

I'm with Doggramma, invisible thread is like sewing with a strand of hair. I use it top and bobbin on small projects that are hangers. I don't know about using it in an actual wash and go quilt.
