New Thread?

Question

We've had so much talk about threads and needles lately, which I always enjoy. I received the following email from Cotton Club and I'm wondering if anyone has tried this and what your opinion is?? Sounds like a dream..... but I'd like to read some "user" comments if anyone has worked with it. NAYY. E-mail message From: snipped-for-privacy@cottonclub.com Hi Everyone, Introducing a better choice than monofilamnet: InvisiFil! It is a delicate 100 weight, soft polyester, 2 ply thread, fabulous for machine quilting and applique (top and/or bottom thread) or just in the bobbin for embroidery. It is strong and colorfast, with a matte finish that disappears into the fabric. It has passed our tests and we are entusiastically recommnding it! 30 gorgeous colors! You will want them all! Take a look at the Pastel Collection and scroll down for the others:

Sounds really cool! I was never too happy with so called invisible thread that came in only clear or smoke versions. I always seemed to find fabrics where neither was ideal. I wish this new stuff could be purchased one spool at a time. I don't want to spend $19 and find I do not like it and have a bunch of it laying around. Anybody brave enough to buy a set of these spools and report back to us? ;-)

Hi LeslieI felt the same way you do..... I don't particularly want to spend thatmuch on an "experiment" either. I'm going to be on the lookout forsomeone that sells them by the "each", because I'd really like to tryit. Especially since they can be use on top AND bottom......

I ordered some from Red Rock - not a company I've shopped before but I've seen it recommended here.  They have it in bigger spools and by single color.  We must drag me into metric I guess but the spools are 2500 m.  The collection over at CottonClub offered colors that don't call to me and in sizes that I would simply find a nuisance.  Wouldn't it be lovely if the Invisifil was even nicer than the MonoPoly I used recently to quilt on photo transfers?  Hot dog.  Polly>>

Yaaaaay Polly and Kathy! Please DO let us know what you think!

Polly, I have ordered from Red Rock Thread before, and I LOVE them! I went over to take a look at the InvisaFil you found.... I may, just may, stick my toes in and dabble a bit.... with basic black or something. I wonder why they don't have yellow???
