Question 2

what is bonding thread?

Accepted Answer

Bonded Thread for Sewing

When sewing on leather, upholstery, and other thick materials, the go-to thread of choice is bonded thread. Bonding refers to the process of coating a thread in a resin to strengthen and decrease friction that is placed on the thread when sewing at high speeds. The two most common types of bonded thread is Bonded Nylon and Bonded Polyester.

Bonded nylon is recommended for sewing projects that won't be exposed to UV rays for a prolonged period of time. A bonded thread is very strong and the bonding agent helps the thread to stitch smoother, but it doesn't transform the thread. Nylon can degrade when exposed to direct sunlight (UV rays) over time, which is what makes it more common for use in furniture, holsters, and leather goods.

Our bonded nylon thread is available in several thicknesses, from a thin #46 to a heavy #346. The size of bonded thread used depends on how visible you want the stitching to be, the thickness of the material being sewn on, and the end use of the item being stitched. Sewing a leather belt together doesn't put as much stress on the stitches and seams as a leather chair that must bear weight.

Accepted Answer

I do not have a long arm.  I was using it with my sewing machine.  The product is great for stitching in the ditch.

Question 4

anyone use this as top thread in thier longarm?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many people do use this exclusively to long arm. From the Wonderfil Website:

"INVISAFIL™
Your first choice when you need a thread to literally disappear! This extremely fine but surprisingly strong thread is incredibly versatile, and our perfect solution to traditional monofilament threads. Quilting with InvisaFil™ shows only the beautiful textures without the thread.
We can’t say enough about the versatility and ease InvisaFil™ brings to all your custom quilting, regardless of machine. This silk-like 100 weight cottonized polyester melts into the fabric, leaving a beautiful effect when doing dense quilting without the thick build up of shiny thread paths that other threads leave. It virtually “disappears”. Use it for all your dense background fills, patterns that require overstitching to create low bulk stitches, and all your stitch in the ditch projects. Your appliqué will pop when used for outlining to enhance the quilt top design. This thread does not compete with the piecing pattern, but instead, allows it to shine.

InvisaFil™ is also great for hand piecing and hand appliqué. Its super fine weight reduces bulk in the seam and vanishes when used in needle turn appliqué."
