Wonder Invisible Nylon is an extra-fine nylon monofilament thread that enhances how you quilt. Specifically engineered for stitch-in-the-ditch, free motion quilting, and machine appliqué, Wonder Invisible is a stellar thread to use for projects where the beauty of your backing fabric and quilt design should shine through without distraction. Its nylon composition offers exceptional flexibility and ensures durability and smooth stitching, making it a beloved choice among quilters who value reliability and precision.
Nylon monofilament, a staple in quilting for years, excels when you want near-invisibility. Whether you’re working on multi-coloured quilt blocks where you need a single thread that can blend seamlessly across various hues, or you’re engaging in intricate free-motion stitching where you want an amalgamation of block design, fabric colour, and subtle thread texture, Wonder Invisible is highly recommended. It is an excellent choice for invisible appliqué techniques, rendering the thread virtually undetectable and allowing the detailed shapes and patterns of your appliqué pieces to be the focus. This thread ensures that every stitch contributes to the overall aesthetic without overpowering the visual harmony of your work.
Unlike multi-filament threads (most sewing and quilting threads are multi-filament—made by twisting together many tiny filaments or staples into the final thread), Wonder Invisible is a single, continuous filament, offering a sleek, consistent stitch with no risk of fraying. Available on a 2,000 yd spool, this thread is an ideal companion for detailed quilting tasks and complements polyester monofilament threads beautifully by providing a slightly softer finish and a minor increase in stretch and elongation with comparable invisibility. Whether you are a veteran quilter or just starting, Wonder Invisible is an excellent thread to add to your thread stash.
For optimal results, YLI recommend Topstitch #70/10 needles for home machines and #14 (3.0) needles for longarm machines. Don’t be afraid to loosen your top tension. Monofilament threads are thin and will stitch better with looser top tension settings.
