Gutermann Invisible Thread 274yd, Clear

OMG, I will never stitch in the ditch with anything else!!! In case there's be a scratchy edge to the cut thread I hand sewed the inside collar stand edge with matching thread at the area where the button placket is by the face/neck but then used my machine with the same tension and stitch length that I always do and bing bang done. Love it totally invisible on the couple places I missed the mark since being a chicken I sewed with my top stitch on my folded edge at the inside of the collar stand. But, I felt a cut edge and to Me it didn't feel like anything but I used standard thread there in case... Better safe than sorry, some people can feel a molecule . The bobbin sewing only showed up as a couple little tiny dots where it catches the top thread and even then it was when my overhead light hit it just right. Try that with your regular thread. On the straight away sample I sewed with this stuff the stitches did not look at all noticeable (sewed on a fuchsia rayon viscose) and because the thread is so fine and clear they blended perfectly and weren't shiny at all. Love this stuff and looking forward to the cuffs I have to do. Does Not look or behave like fishing line, the fineness of a hair strand, bobbin loaded easily no jams or negative anything while working either and I sewed with the same ease and speed as usual. No adjustments, no special treatment. Don't need one more PITA lol. Wasn't expecting it to work this great, I've tried others over the years and threw them all out. Hey, I love my Zen hand sewing but I've been really cranking out office clothes for my white collar daughter's new job and it's not very Zen at this point anyways lol. I'll take this little victory and may actually finish a whole cup of coffee before it goes cold now :) I will forever have this in my kit! I was watching a doc on Kensington Palace staff touching up valuable coronation robes and they were showing the "invisible thread" they use and I was able to see the texture of what they were using and sure enough, Amazon appears to have what looked exactly like what they were using. So glad I saw that. Oh, being viscose I used a knit heat setting on my product with no ill effect on thread. On my sample I zapped it with higher heat and some steam and yanked a few times at me practice seam trying to damage it but it held proper!

very good pruduct

Performed as described. Great tread for a beginner seamstress.

I bought this clear thread for sewing a bridal veil. It is like very thin, clear fishing line. It will hold. It could be a little harder to work with than regular thread. If you need clear thread, this will do the trick. If you also know how to tie fishing line knots you’re really all set.

This thread was good for stitch in the ditch on my quilt. It was invisible so was perfect and did not show my mistakes. Was also very strong and didn’t break while sewing

Strong thread. Easy to put through the eye of a needle.

The thread is indeed almost invisible, it is soft and smooth to the touch and mostly reminds me of very thin fishing line. I had great hopes for using it on a blouse to make invisible seams. However I wanted to test it out on a piece of scrap fabric first. Despite the thread being very thin/fine I had to adjust the tension down several numbers on my sewing machine in order for it to work smoothly. With the correct tension it sews very well and the result looks quite nice. Unfortunately it doesn't feel good against the skin but is hard and irritating. There is no way I would be able to wear it against my skin. It could be that I am especially sensitive but I would only recommend using this in places with no direct skin contact.

Worked well for my project.
