YLI Wonder Invisible Thread, .004, 1500yds, Clear

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 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.

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.

I wanted to invisible thread. So I bought some of this to see if it would work for my projects. It did a good job, but I did find that it was hard to tie knots in, but it was a good.

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.

This tread works great on my table runners that I like to make. Just love it. Have tried other brands but they kept breaking. This one doesn’t break for me.
