Invisi-fill sounds familiar, that's probably it! :-)

It has quite a sheen to it, but I haven't had any problems with that making it more visible. It comes in quite a few colours, I pick one that matches the fabric not necessarily the colour but the darkness of the thread. So deep purple fabrics I'll use the brown or black thread, because it's darker.

I haven't done much applique...but when I took a class for a sampler quilt the instructor told us to use silk thread for the hand applique. :)

I'm putting my sister who is just learning to quilt onto this site, she is too far for me to help on a day to day but she will love all the help you guys give.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :-D :-D

Great tutorial, I use the 'Perfect Circles' by Karen kay Buckley, they are made out of the no melt mylar and can be reused over and over again, I also recommend them to eliminate any points as you gather the fabric to form your circles....
