Thanks teen. When I bought my Bernina, 36 years ago, they tried to teach me machine applique using the satin stitch and I hated it. Never tried machine applique again til this year, and I 've been doing the same as you.

I have never sewed with the mono threads. Is it easy to use? Does the thread melt or shrivel when ironed? Anyone interested---Judy's Mystery train started Saturday.

I'm doing Judy's Mystery Train too. Super excited! I have watched on the fence for the last few and now I can't wait to join in too.

Sewing with monofilament is no different than regular thread, Except for trying to thread the needle! Nothing happened when I ironed my blocks.

Ditto what Teen Said I would never try using monofilament in a bobbin.
|
And I also am extra cautious when using, always holding on to end of thread and clipping as soon as I can. Thanks Teen you said it so well!
|
Teen, your sunflowers are great. I really like the green color.
|
Thank you ladies so much. I been wanting to try it. I feel more confident now to use it. What color do you use in the bobbin? Do you match it to the fabric? or use a neutral like gray or beige?
