i really dislike using invisible thread on anything that is (use-able; washable)
i used invisible thread on my sons bed quilt...every time it is laundered a bit more of it breaks...disappears...there are POKEY places...where the broken thread sticks out and pokes you like those annoying tags in shirts that will drive you crazy. so, i am not a fan of using invisible (fish-line) thread. i would try it on a small item(like a pot holder) then launder it ...and see before using it on an item more important.

Personally, I hate invisible thread so don't buy it.

I've used it successfully in my Vikings. I'd suggest you invest and try it. Only a little ventured, and maybe a lot gained.

Same here. Once you learn how to do it, I think I like it better than hand sewing it. And I can no longer do hand work anyway so I have to like it!!! :P :P

No I haven't, but I don't had sew my bindings down. I sew it to the front first then I press it to the back and stitch in the ditch from the front side. I do have a stitch in the ditch foot that helps. I think my bindings come out very nicely. They are even and the corners are perfect.

I do it all the time! I refuse to do bindings by hand. I ahve had the best sucess using the inviasble thread from Homesew or Clotilde. Do be careful winding the bobbin, go slow do not stretch the thread. Also use a cone holder( or jar/coffee mug) for the top thread , and put it as far away from the machine as you can. It needs to relax for a bit before going through your machine. I use a smaller needle as the thread is quite fine.
To avoid the little ends , trim the starting thread after you sew a few inches , as they are tough to find when the quilt is done.

I really dislike invisable thread but, that is why they have so many choices I guess...

I am afraid of invisible (really...we all know it's plastic!!) thread for just this reason. I have had multiple commercially made quilts/blankets with invisible/plastic thread, and it ends up breaking and sticking out. I don't want this to happen to any of my quilts.

Yes I have, worked fine. Now I sew binding to back then bring to top and sew. If back and top are different colors I add different colors in Bobbin and on tope to coordinate. Then again I do not sell quilts for money. Just use for personal or gifts. :)

Please be careful using invisible thread on kid quilts. They can get loose ends wrapped around fingers and toes and cut off the circulation. If it gets wrapped tightly it is really difficult to remove.
