I see no problems with this at all. Whenever I use invisible in the top, longarm or domestic, I usually have a regular thread in the bobbin. I normally use Superior Bottom Line in my domestic bobbin and magnaglide prewounds in the longarm bobbin. Neither combo has given me any problems. Your Aurifil should be just fine in the bobbin.

Try the thread combination first on a practice sandwich to see if you need to adjust tensions. I use the invisible thread with a pre-wound embroidery bobbin. You may need to put the invisible thread on a thread stand so it has room to unwind before it gets to the machine. This helps avoids kinks and breakage. The thread may also need a thread net.
You may have to change the needle size and/or type if you have problems.

You'll be fine with whatever you use in the bobbin for piecing. I use a lot of MonoPoly by Superior, and for the bobbin it's Bottomline. You absolutely need the supplied thread net, and... get your thread spool as close to the first thread guide as your machine allows, while still pulling off the end of the spool. If you are using something other than MonoPoly this info may not apply.

If your invisible thread comes on a small spool, rather than a cone, I find that if I just set the spool in a jar by my machine then thread it through the thread guides, it pulls freely off the spool without snagging or knotting up. It just kinda bounces around the jar, but it works!
