Here in the UK our supplies are a bit different to over the pond :)

I've not used Bottom Line, but I do use Wonderfil's Invasifil...it's a 100 wt., so a little thinner. When I use the Invisafil, the stitches are unnoticeable. I've been considering going to B.L. Do you think it's comparable to a 100 wt. considering B.L. is a 60 wt.?

I have always used Creative grid rulers and recommend them to our all my patchwork class and friends I love the non slip discs incorporated in them and also their plain black n white markings.

I love this thread for bobbin or needle or both!
And it's the absolutely most wonderful thread for hand applique that I've tried yet! Smooth and no tangling - keep the needle moving every few stitches and no shredding. And it just disappears into the applique piece. I usually use just four neutrals and they are invisible on nearly everything - cream, taupe, silver and grey.
I quilted my daughter's rainbow log cabin with micro designs, drawn along every seam line with Bottom Line black. (The backing, binding and shams are also black) It drew very fine little waves, stars, cactus, hearts, flowers, suns - and no lint, either! :)
I really LOVE this stuff!

I had always heard that as well but I see more and more places where they are using bobbin thread instead. Here is a site that has alot about threads. I hope it helps.
