I just finished attaching 80 leaves to my pumpkin seed quilt and now I want to machine sew the edges...I did a zig zag stitch with some hearts a quilt ago, but I was not thrilled with the finish. Heard there was invisible thread and was hoping someone would have some tips or tell me what it is called. Thanks, I am pretty new to quilting...

I use YLI Wonder invisible on all my applique.

I use Sew Art thread on top and the bobbin thread matches the back. If you have a horizontal feed for your top thread, you will probably experience problems due to the way the monofilament is wound on the spool. I have a vertical holder sitting beside my machine. Just finished quilting an art quilt using mono on top and only had one breakage during the entire process. Did not have to adjust the tension at all.
