MONO.POLY--Polyester monofilament invisible thread. Soft and heat resistant. Clear (matte-finish) and Smoke. Size .004 (very fine) 2200 yds!
Superior Monopoly is polyester and dryer safe; won't yellow, won't go brittle over time, & can be ironed on a lower heat setting. We suggest using a Polyester Invisible Monofilament thread instead of a Nylon monofilament (which has a lower melting point) for these reasons.
Q: Can I use MonoPoly on both top and in the bobbin?
A: MonoPoly is a wonderful top thread and bobbin thread but some machines may not like using them together. If you use MonoPoly on top, we prefer using the Bottom Line in the bobbin. If you use MonoPoly in the bobbin, any other Superior thread should be fine on top.
Q: What size needle should I use with MonoPoly?
A: In home machines, we recommend using our #70/10 Topstitch needle. On midarm and longarm machines, we recommend a size #14 (MR 3.0) needle.
Q: What do you mean by matte finish MonoPoly?
A: MonoPoly is a monofilament thread and by nature, all monofilament threads are shiny. We have developed a reduced sheen or matte monofilament. There is still some sheen but not as much as non-matte types.
Q: What thread should I use in the bobbin when using MonoPoly on the top?
A: Use The Bottom Line #623 in the bobbin and MonoPoly on top when going for the true invisible look.
Q: Will you ever carry MonoPoly in a larger cone?
A: Probably. We are experimenting with it now.
Q: Why don’t you have MonoPoly prewound bobbins?
A: They are in the works.
Q: Why is MonoPoly polyester and not nylon?
A: Our Monopoly is polyester and therefore is dryer safe, won't yellow, won't go brittle over time, and can be ironed on a lower heat setting. Polyester monofilament is a higher quality fiber than a nylon monofilament.
Q: Can I iron MonoPoly? Will it melt?
A: MonoPoly is 100% polyester and has a much higher heat tolerance than nylon monofilaments. MonoPoly is ironable but make sure the iron is set to medium or low heat.
