Half the challenge (and fun) of learning machine quilting is finding YOUR favorites! Give it to a quilt friend and try something else! Threads that work for Diane Gaudynski do not work for meвЂ¦What works for me, may not work for youвЂ¦ДonвЂ™t be discouraged if a new thread isnвЂ™t working.

We all have different machines and we all work a little differently. ItвЂ™s important to understand that one of the criteria for choosing a thread is: Does YOUR machine like it? OPEN LINE FRIDAYвЂ“SHARE YOUR вЂњINVISIBLEвЂќ THREAD FAVORITES While I was teaching at The John Campbell Folk School, several students tried it and loved it too. The thread is very fine and almost invisible like monofilament, but behaves like a well-mannered polyester! MicroQuilter is 100 wt polyester thread and my machine LOVES it! Recently, I tried SuperiorвЂ™s new thread line, MicroQuilter. Whenever I wanted an вЂњinvisible threadвЂќ I used a thread color that matched my fabric. Ever since then, I have steered clear of monofilament thread. I donвЂ™t remember if I was using nylon or poly. GaudynskiвЂ“so it must have been user error. I was stitching on a BERNINA, just like Ms. Unfortunately, my sewing machine HATED the monofilament and I needed to have my machine serviced after using it. Naturally, I experimented with monofilaments. When I first started machine quilting, my favorite quilter, Diane Gaudynski, frequently used monofilament thread for her award-winning quilts. Polyester monofilaments include: Sulky Invisible and SuperiorвЂ™s MonoPoly A few popular nylon monofilaments include: Aurifil 1000 Invisible YLI Wonder Invisible Thread,ДЄdvocates for polyester say nylon stretches too much, can be brittle and sometimes turns yellow. The quilting debate: Which is better nylon or polyester monofilament thread?ДЄdvocates for nylon say nylon has a better вЂњhandвЂќ-it is softer and machines like it better. Monofilament usually comes in two colors: clear and smokeвЂ¦(HmmmвЂ¦.how does that workвЂ“invisible colors?)

(Think of a garlic press with one very tiny holeвЂ¦Press down and you create monofilament garlic-yum!) Monofilament thread is a single, (mono) extruded line of nylon or polyester. Usually, invisible thread is another name for monofilament thread. Invisible thread can be used for top and/or bobbin thread. When used for machine quilting, one notices texture and the motif, not the thread. Last week, a reader asked about invisible thread and I thought we needed The Whole GroupвЂ™s help on this one. (The hardest part about bloggingвЂ“you canвЂ™t tell if YOU have the same lame sense of humor that I have!?)
