how to go back?
#11
I just know people will scream in horror when they hear that the pansy quilt that I just finished was quilted in invisible thread. I don't know where I got the thread, but it worked just fine in my machine. Just loosen the tension a little and back stitch a little to lock your stitches and away you go! I had so many different colored flowers in each block, that it would not have been possible to do it any other way. sometimes I just barely caught a petal or a piece of the basket, I am not a very careful sewer, but with anything else, I would have had to rip, and I was on a tight deadline. With the invisible thread, it never even showed. Unless it was a major goof, no ripping happened. My aunt loved it and no one else's opinion really mattered but hers since it was her gift.

I've used invisible to quilt as well, and never thought anything of it. So far those quilts are still in one piece.

Steve, if ya hold your tongue juuuusssst right...LOL
I've used invisible to tack my applique down when I'm going to be using a blanket stitch (by hand). But otherwise, I've never used it on a quilt. I don't see why it wouldn't hold up just fine when used to machine quilt. :)

I did my mom's quilt in 1999 using invisible thread and it is still holding up. In fact, while I was there last weekend, I washed it and dried it in the dryer and it is still in one piece :lol: It looked so pretty on the bed, I wished she'd leave it out instead of sticking it back in the closet :!:
