YLI Threads Wonder Invisible – Clear Nylon Monofilament Thread | Strong, Soft & Lightweight for Applique & Quilting – 2000 Yard Spool

I have previously used several brands of transparent thread at different thicknesses. This is by far the nicest I have tried, and I have made quite a few tree motion art quilts and applique quilts using clear thread. This works wonderfully. Just remember, you may have to drop the upper thread tension, it is quite strong and will pull the bottom thread up tight quickly if it's not set right. I drop my tension to half of what it takes when using poly or cotton on the top. Lovely, smooth and very clear. Well worth the small extra cost to get this quality of invisible thread. Will buy more.

It comes on a mini cone which it’s because it’s not wrapped as tightly around a small spool. I don’t have much breakage with it and I like that.

I use invisible (monopoly) thread for machine quilting and applique. I've used invisible thread on three quilts this year, and on countless pieces of applique. I've tried the three major brands, and the YLI brand is the best by far for my purposes. It has a softer feel than the others, the thread is flexible, drapes and does not crinkle, as so many do. It is strong for mono-poly, and there has been no problem washing or ironging. Most importantly for me, it is truly invisible on applique work. It has a slightly matte finish and there is minimal light reflection or "sparkle" from the thread (if you like a LOT of sparkle, try Superior Threads monopoly). I use the thread in the top feed only, with a cotton or cotton-poly in the bobbin. It requires very little machine tweaking - just a touch of an adjustment to the top tension, depending on the project. Highly recommended.

Geez this thread is really invisible! It's great for the applique work I bought it for--- attaching them to crocheted baby blankets. While it's strong & invisible, it can be challenging to thread the needle & prevent tangles since it's about as thin as a human hair. Despite the minor inconveniences I would buy it again.

when hand sewing my miniature bears, I have tried a few different invisible threads. some are so thick they still show and some curl so much you are always fighting with it. This is very thin and I can easily thread it through the smallest needles I have (#12 between) there is no curling so it is enjoyable to use. it doesn't show even if I just use an over-stitch. It is a very full spool and will go a long way with hand sewing.

This thread makes my applique almost invisible!!

My granddaughters are in girl scouts and needed patches sewn onto one of their vests. I ironed on the patches first then used this invisible thread to secure. Afterwards I again ironed on the patches where they had come loose on the edges during sewing to finish the look. I was thankful the thread did NOT melt which was a great concern initially!Works great! I would use this invisible thread for quilting and anywhere two drastically different color fabrics are used or on prints or any situation where the color of thread I have on hand does not adequately match the color of the fabric. Another plus is the spindel fits nicely onto my Brother CS6000i Advance Sew Affordable 60-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Hard Case. Would definitely buy again!

The invisible thread is great for certain sewing projects. If you use it you need to put a netting over the thread because it can come off the spool at times and also take your time sewing with it. With my Ellegante 3 baby lock it was best to tighten the bobbin tension when using. You can put into your bobbin just be careful not to wind it to tight – otherwise I had no problems with it. The thread does not turn color over time. It last for a long time. It works great just take it slow.
