I have had all of the above problems with mono thread also. Avoid it whenever possible.

Have you tried the thread from Superior? All mono filament is not the same. You have to be careful ironing or it will melt!

I used it once, but like you it's the first and the last time that I will use it.

Yes, monofilament is a pain to work with. Try using a nylon net over your thread which will help to keep it from undwinding. Good luck.

I've never liked sewing with the monofilament thread. Too many problems - just like you mentioned.

Ladies, check what your thread is made with. Long ago mono was made with petroleum based products. When you quilt with this material the friction created in the movement of the needle through the fabric and guides creates heat and stretches the thread thus causing your problems. Had this happen and it's no fun trying to retrieve it from inside your machine. If you decide to quilt with it go sloooooow and stop often so that the machine can cool off. Don't plan to quilt it all in one day.
