Anyone use nylon thread for quilting?
#1
I bought a big cone in a neutral color. I put it in the bobbin and top and had to get a magnifying glass to see the stitches. :lol: It's very strong to be so thin. I don't have to worry about getting a scant 1/4 seam in piecing using this. I found this about the thread:
Size 15 and 23 are ultra-lightweight threads typically used for sewing garments and as bobbin thread. It is stronger than comparable spun polyester and cotton threads.
These ultra-thin threads are Soft because they do not require bonding.

I haven't used nylon, I don't think. :? How do you think it would react to cotton fabric? Do you think it would tear the cotton after a time or is it coated?
I've used the clear, but I believe its poly. Which is the one that melts?
Who makes it so I can go and read about it?

This isn't a clear thread, it looks like a fiber thread.
Nylon thread stands up to heat. It yellows at 300°F and melts at 500°F.
Nylon thread has excellent resistance to mildew, aging, and abrasion.

I got 12,800 yard cone for $8.!! So it was worth trying it out good or bad. I love trying different threads.

I use it occasionally. I use only for the top and use Mettler silk-finish in the bobbin. Harriet Hargrave recommended it in a class I took and it worked for me. Make sure you only use nylon that you can break easily in your hands; otherwise it may cut the threads in your fabric if it gets pulled.
