didn't see that coming!

I put in my all purpose thread and sewed two strips together. I went to set my seam and my thread disappeared! It seems that it is not 100% cotton! That thread can go in the trash! Thought I had discovered magical thread haha!!!

Britt are you sure that it was all purpose thread and not dissolvable type thread used for machine trapunto type stuff. Did it leave a residue or just disappear cleanly?

[brittyboo07]

Lynn it did disappear almost completely but did leave a residue on my iron. I just looked at the spool of thread and it says 3-ply polyester so this must be old thread that I grabbed.

Glad that hasn't happened to me...yet...I'd have thought for sure I was losing my mine...

[brittyboo07]

lol Genny! I just looked at it and then at my iron and put the iron down and actually touched the fabric and was like what in the world!

I've heard of wash-away thread, but not iron away! LOL

[brittyboo07]

I know right! Crazy thread!!!!

At least you found out now before you had chain-pieced a bajillion blocks together! That would have been me.

Isn't that the truth!!! Yikes!!! This is certainly a first for me! I'm laughing at the look I imagine was on your face, Britt, when it disappeared. I've never heard of wash-away thread? That's a new one on me. I imagine that'd be wonderful for basting so it doesn't have to be removed. When else would one need to use wash-way thread? Any ideas?

Rebecca, I laughed too. I have never heard of such a thing. Thank God Britt, you did not make too many before you discovered "poof" and it was gone.
