Review on 🧡 Ultimate Transparency: SINGER 00260 Clear Invisible Nylon Thread by Monica Williams

Attention, attention, attention!

2nd update: There is always room to learn more. After a bit of professional training, I've learned that this thread can be amazing when used properly. So, two new lessons on this topic.1. Make sure the thread in your spool is "pluck thread". By that she meant that synthetic filaments are mostly made of plastic microfibers. Examples are polyester, nylon, acrylic. These threads are malleable and more slippery than natural threads like cotton, hemp, or silk. Therefore, do not use synthetic or mixed synthetic threads on the bobbin. When using this invisible monofilament (spool only), use 100% cotton yarn on the spool. 100% cotton is the most "grippy" thread, meaning it offers the most friction as the spool loops to catch the needle thread.2. Check your needle. If you are unfamiliar with needle construction then OMG do your homework. Wow what an epiphany on how the machine actually works and how to put all the pieces together for a flawless stitch. Therefore, the size of the needle is of paramount importance. Use the magnifying glass to examine the needle. groove in front. Yes, it's not round. Your thread, and especially this thread, should be firmly seated in this groove. On the back of the needle, at the bottom of the hole for the thread, there is a curved, so to speak, concave part. The lower thread is caught by the upper thread. Here you will get a lucky stitch or a bird's nest. What you need for that invisible thread is a sharper bend at the bottom edge of that little raised section. Learning them is tedious, but what a difference in sewing performance when you put it all together. update it After trying to use this thread, now the machine doesn't work at all with any thread. So I took it to the workshop and found that YOU CANNOT USE THIS THREAD IN THE BOBBIN! Only use this thread in a spool and it is strongly recommended to use something called "spool net". I don't know what it was, but it's a small round mesh that goes over your spool to keep the thread from unwinding off the spool. The fact is that this thread is very slippery and very elastic. The shop also told me to set the lower thread tension to low and sew as slowly as possible. If you have to use it in a spool, it has to be wound very, very slowly. When you wind up quickly, the thread is stretched, and then when you go to sew, it relaxes and tries to wind the loop onto the bobbin and catch the inner parts below. It's also slippery and typically can't grab the filament on the spool. They said that it's better to wind the coil by hand but don't use the coil at all. It's best to just use cotton or cotton yarn in a spool. The repair so far is only $45 up to readjustment, but some replacement parts may be required. I looked at the negative reviews on this thread, but I figured they just don't know how to sew. Well I've been doing this since last night and can't sew more than 3 inch stitch before the thread breaks or the bobbin gets tangled. I think this thread is for hand sewing only. It took a hell of a long time to put it on the roll. Tried different needles and tension settings. No help. I just don't think it's a good thread.
