Superior ThreadsVanish-Lite Water Soluble Lightweight Thread for Quilting, 300 Yd. Spool

The media could not be loaded. I’m so mad. Who has been keeping water soluble thread a secret from me?!? Oh, the seams I have unpicked! I feel betrayed.Ok, I’m better now. So anyway, here’s a little video of my very first try with this hot little number. I’m making a slip cover for my ottoman and I used regular bobbin thread with Superior Threads water soluble thread as my top thread. As you can see, it popped free no problem, (one handed!) and what a satisfying sound, too! Very ASMR.

The thread was easy to thread a bobbin, stitched smoothly, and did become water soluable with dabs of water on the project where the thread was used. The small spool has plenty of thread left even after winding a bobbin with the thread. I would buy another spool or two of the Vanish thread.

This is great for practice quiltin. It would also work well for a basting stitch for a quilt sandwich. I use it to practice my quilting so I can save my practice sandwiches

I purchased the smaller spool this time because I've learned that even though the large spool seems like a better deal, I don't use enough of it before the quality starts to deminish. Now I know that one is supposed to store it in a dark dry place.

perfect

I had read some of the reviews about the thread breaking, took a chance and ordered it anyway. Glad I did! It has worked amazing for me! I have a embroidery machine, and I have two bobbin cases, the reason is, I NEVER mess with my bobbin case tension. I have been sewing for over 50 years and messing with that tension always ends badly, (tears, swearing, throwing things) I have one for regular sewing and a second one for embroidery, for the finer bobbin thread. I figured that if there was a possible breakage issue, I was just going to use the regular bobbin case. It has worked amazing. Only problem is to remember to take the water soluble thread OUT when you are done. Be sure to mark your bobbins, so there is no confusion.

Used this water solvable thread for a In The Hoop Design. It bastes and outlines the appliqué pieces. Very fine, worked beautifully in my machine.

I bought these to baste a big quilt. I used it in the bobbin and top thread of my brother pq1500 machine and it worked perfectly and washed away completely from my finished quilt. I bought two spools for my queen sized quilt and I have an entire spool left over. I am storing it in a zip log bag as I have been told the humidity in the air can affect the thread during long term storage. Stitches were perfect without changing my normal tension, needle and stitch length.
