Has anyone ever used Superior Polyester Monofilament in both the needle and the bobbin? I heard someone on television the other day say that they use clear monofilament in the bobbin. I hope I heard them right. I use monofilament a lot in the needle and when I can not match the thread to the fabric on the backing, it would come in very handy to be able to use the clear thread.

Yep -- I've done it! I did my entire 2008 BOM by machine and used Superior monofilament in both the top and bobbin. It worked great! -
I've done it too and it worked pretty well.Comment

Yep, I use it on the bottom when I don't want the bobbin thread to show.Comment

I'd love for those of you that are successful with monofilament to talk about your tension settings and needle sizes. I always forget & my samples take so long to set up to perfection that I give up.

Well I haven't quilted with monofilament in the bobbin but when I do machine applique with it I use a quilting/stippling needle (small needle) and set my tension almost to "0". But I started at a higher number and just kept lowering it until my machine was "happy"!Comment
