Afternoon Gents and ladies too,

Have any of you ever tried Sulky "invisible" for wrapping guides? Sure looked small at the store. I did pick up a spool but would like to hear your opinions on it as well.


Thanks,
Tom

Save your time and money, it's not invisible.

I believe that thread is one of the Sulky threads made out of a single strip of thin plastic, if so it is completely useless for wrapping guides. Some people have claimed to get good results using it in decorative wraps, but I couldn’t even get it to work for trim bands. Sulky metallic thread on the other hand is excellent both for wrapping guides and trim, it has become about all I ever use.

Mike,

I too have had great results with their metallic.. I tried a few guides last nite and it wasn't too bad but I think that I will just use the old silk that I have on hand.
