Water Soluble Sewing Thread - Polyester - for Embroidery, Lace & Craft - 100% Dissolvable

I used this water soluble thread from blingblingyarn to sew the quilt, after sewing the quilt with a large tack, I set my sewing machine to long stitch and used the water soluble thread to sew lines on the quilt in both directions at 6 inches to 8 inches in one direction. I removed the large head stitch as I sewed.

When I finished stitching the grid, my quilt was completely stable, but all the pins were gone. Now I can concentrate on the actual machine sewing without having to go around the needle.

After finishing all the quilting, I will gently wash the entire quilt to remove my markings and water soluble threads. I can dip the quilt into the washing machine and remove it and the water soluble threads are gone!

A great thread for basting or using to do the beginning of trapunto work. It isn’t invisible, very easy to see when you are using it-yet totally dissolves without a trace when washed or comes in contact with any liquid. When using it for hand sewing, knotting the thread can be a challenge. I never realized how handy it was-so glad I bought the big spool.
