invisibale thread

I use it quite a bit. Loosen your top tension and that should help.
As far as threding the needle, my machine has white paint on the shank of the presser foot. If, I am trying to thread the needle, I lower the presser foot, the eye of the needle is more visible against the shank of the presser foot and it makes it a little easier. Maybe this will help.

If your sewing machine doesn't have the white on the shank, you can put a small piece of colored tape on it to help you see the thread. Like Vicki said your tension needs to be adjusted a little as it is a different weight than most threads. Also if you cut the end you thread with on an angle it will be easier to thread as well.

I've quilted with Sulky and I really like it a lot, if you can break it pretty easy with your hands or if it's "pokey" if you stick yourself with it, it's either old or just not a good brand. again..check that your tension isn't too tight

I'd asked the same question a couple months ago, everyone on here was really helpful. I did finally play with two different brands and found which I liked better. The top tension was what really made it work. I read somewhere it is not good at all on the bottom (and I don't remember why).
My advise, I did this with my machines at home. Is write it down!!! I wrote down in my quilting journal what brand thread on what machine and the tension I had to set it at. It may be a little different in the future depending on my bobbin thread and my fabrics, but at least I have a jumping off point. I'm one of those people (more so lately) if I don't write it down or have it right in front of me I'll never remember. I'd tell ya what it was, but I don't have it with me, but everyone's machines are a bit different, so play with the thread and see what ya can do. I also made a note in my journal for those fun metallic threads, they didn't work the same as the invisible thread in my machines, so I had to adjust the tensiion differently.
Good Luck!!
