Thank you for all your useful tips in this video. I have viewed video numerous times, I forget all the details from time to time. Now I am so comfortable with the MonoPoly. Your tips make using this thread sooooo easy. I didn't realize how many quilter are afraid of this thread, I have referred them to your video many times for specific instructions to avoid all the headaches that came come with not knowing what your doing this this product.
Hi Pauline! Thank you so much for this video! I'm very happy to share my success with the mono- poly thread, thanks to you! I'm brand new to machine embroidery and I'm hooked!
Thank you for the great tutorial, I’m going to be quilting a patriotic wall hanging in Sept. I saved your tutorial for future reference. Threading through the needle eye tip when you are over 60 😉 Take a black Sharpie marker and color the tip of the monopoly so you can see it.
Hi, Pauline, if you take a sharpie and touch the end of your thread, you will be able to see to thread it through the needle. Hope this helps anyone having a problem
First time user of invisible thread. Watched a number of videos, read several articles about brands, etc. and after watching your video I ordered the Superior Mono-Poly and Titanium Coated #70/10 needles. I used the MP on the top and regular thread in the bobbin. Loaded up the machine and did a test run on an extra square I had made along with batting and backing. Sewed like a dream. I did not have to make any adjustments at all to my machine. I’m now on to my baby quilt project and needle and thread are sewing beautifully. I’ll have to say the hardest part of all this was finding the end of the thread on the spool!!! Thank you for such a great tutorial.
Thank you Mindy, I am thrilled you like using the Mono Poly thread , I love it ! I agree 100% finding the end of the thread is very challenging to say the least. Keep enjoying, Pauline
Hi Anne, I am so happy you may now feel ok with using the Mono Poly thread , it is a fantastic thread but a lot of people like yourself have been afraid to use it. Once it is set up right on the machine it works like a dream. Cheers Pauline
Thank you, great tutorial. I bought some of your thread with many other items from Craft Alive in Caloundra on the Friday. I did three of your class and enjoyed them and leant so much. Thank you again. 🤩
Hi Nina, I was so sad that the show got shut down on Saturday as I was having so much fun teaching my classes. Thank you for taking part in them and purchasing from us. Have fun creating, Pauline
Thank you Pauline for this video on Monopoly thread. I haven't tried it yet and have been leery about it. Because I didn't know if it was going to get jammed up in my sewing machine. But watching this video you made it seem easy by explaining everything about the tension first. I think I'm going to invest in some and give it a try Thank you again.
I have a Bernina 880plus and use the MonoPoly pretty successfully in the top.... I was told never to use it in the bobbin.... I'd like to try it both top and bottom... what do you think?
Linda, I a lot of the time have the Mono Poly in the top & the bobbin with no issues. In the past we were told not to put invisible thread in our machines as it was Nylon, Mono Poly thread is so different it does not cause the problems . I love this thread. Cheers Pauline
Thank you for this video. One question. My machine doesn’t have the thread holder laying down, it stands up. Will this still work with the net over it?
Hi @memapoppy4 ! I found the answer in this short video. Hope it helps! I’m going to try it on my cone thread holder first, then on my vertical spool holder on the machine. th-cam.com/video/gWd3MbtLoNc/w-d-xo.html
Hi, thank you for the information on the poly thread. I have tried it and just hated it. I threaded my bernina and it seems to be working. I am not familiar with your books as I just stumbled across your video but am interested in them. Are they available at stores or only on your site? But you have so many great tips just in this one video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! a lot of stores do stock some of my books , if you Google your local quilt shop to see if they stock PQW products. We do have everything on our website www.pqw.com.au Cheers Pauline
Hi, loved this video! I was just wondering what weight this thread is. I have some of it, but there is another one out there that a 100 weight. It is called the same thing. So I just wanted to make sure which weight you were recommending. Thank you!
Hi Janice, I am thrilled you are enjoying my videos, keep watching as we have lots more coming for you. The thread is 100 weight , I would think it is the same as you have.. Cheers Pauline
Anxious to use the monopoly thread on my Bernina Artista 200. However, I can’t find how to wind the bobbin using the foot peddle. Can you help? Thanks in advance.
Hi Carol, I don't know that I can help you as I don't know anything about the Artista 200 machine , Maybe contact the dealer you purchased it from and they will help with your question. Good luck, keep enjoying my videos. Cheers Pauline
I have a Bernina 330 and the bobbin winder is like yours but not controlled with the foot pedal. When you put it on the winder there is only 1 speed...FAST..I am currently working on a quilt so i don't have time to get the book😢 my fabric is puckering awfully😢 i really need to use this thread in top and bottom
If you machine is a computerised like mine you can slow down the bobbin winding by going into the settings on the screen. it should show you in your machine manual. If your fabric is puckering the fabric release the pressure of the sewing foot a bit. too much down pressure on the foot will create puckering. Hope this help, cheers Pauline
Hi Pamela, I have been using the thread for well over 10 plus years on all my quilts , my quilts get washed on an average of 8 to 10 times a year as they are always traveling and been handled and the thread is still as perfect as the day I stitched it in. Cheers Pauline
Leslie , be certain you purchase the MONO POLY thread if the one you bought is monofilament I would not use that in my machine as it is most likely Nylon and that is not good running through the tension of your machine, Nylon thread can also melt if a hot Iron is applied. Mono Poly thread will be available from most Quilt stores and it will come with the net in the package. Have fun and enjoy, Pauline
Hi Kellie....I'm guessing you were meaning Ordinary Thread, instead of Audio Thread? :-) Mono Poly thread is what I use in my top and bottom bobbin because it's not only strong, but it is clear. Perfect for making quilting patterns without having a particular set colour of thread. And because it is clear, it is also great for keeping your stitching subtle so your patchwork material patterns stand out. It all comes down to personal taste really.
Sage advice from a seasoned pro whose tone and projection are pleasant to the ear… love Pauline ❤
Thank you very much Pat 🥰
I have used Mono thread for years in my industrial machines

I have ordered your bookquilt as you go and can't wait to receive it. I am one of those people who struggle with tension. Thank you so much.

Yes it will still work with the thread holder on the spool if it stands up or lays down.
Have fun creating with this fantastic thread.

Great tutorial. I do have one question though. How do you use the large spool on your machine?
Hi Lynn,
I use a thread stand to put the large spools on and it works super.
I am thrilled you are enjoying my videos.
Cheers Pauline

Interesting because superior threads is recommending a topstitch 70/10 needle
We find the 80/12 and 70/10 needles to be pretty well interchangeable with each other!
@@PQWQuilting ok, thanks

Hi Pauline, can you use this thread for quilting with rulers
Hi Rias, yes you can use this threat when using quilting rulers, I know you will love this threat like I do.
Have fun creating , Pauline
@@PQWQuilting thank you.
Does the monopoly thread hold up in utilitarian quilts over years of use compared to cotton thread?
Hi Pamela, I have been using the thread for well over 10 plus years on all my quilts , my quilts get washed on an average of 8 to 10 times a year as they are always traveling and been handled and the thread is still as perfect as the day I stitched it in.
Cheers Pauline
Hi Pauline. Is this ok to use with a plastic bobbin?
Yes the Mono - Poly thread can be used on a plastic or metal bobbin without any issues.
The invisible thread I bought didnt have a netting with it. Gutermann from Joann Fabrics in the US. What else can I use?
Leslie , be certain you purchase the MONO POLY thread if the one you bought is monofilament I would not use that in my machine as it is most likely Nylon and that is not good running through the tension of your machine, Nylon thread can also melt if a hot Iron is applied.
Mono Poly thread will be available from most Quilt stores and it will come with the net in the package.
Have fun and enjoy, Pauline
@@PQWQuilting Thank you!
is audio thread as good as Monopoly thread?
