Bought some invisible thread but cannot see the thread to put it through the needle

[Gusto Brunt]

Any advice?

When I say it's invisible, it's not strictly so. It's just of a transparent nature, no color. Know wot I mean???

Thanks.

Invisible thread is actually very hard to sew with ! So are you sure you really need to use it Gusto ? Is there no other alternative ?

Yeah it is hard to sew with. You can barely see it even when it is threaded. I just didn't want any stitching showing.

The problem is this thread is very springy and it knots even when you're trying to pull it straight. I made four attempts before I finally stitched it.:joker:

Because I didn't want the stitching to show. And since I am not a good sewer it would have using normal thread. :p

A couple of pillows I bought second hand but they need stitching... :)
