WOWOWWWWWW

I found my glow-in-the-dark thread---Moonglow by Robison-Anton---I think I got it through Superior Threads--It only breaks in the machine when I do something STUPID!!!!!! It glows after a VERY SHORT exposure to light---but one thing I learned after stitching out names for my TOPS group on felt---
DO NOT put your iron directly on the thread if you want to steam and smooth out your project----the thread/item will STICK TO YOUR IRON-----I did not ruin the project BUT I did learn to put a cloth UNDER THE IRON on top of the stitched out item--then there are NO problems---the thread is great---I can hardly wait to get more!!!!
Thanks to all the suggestions from Cuties. God bless Y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish we could see the item, but have to guess what it would be like. Have to buy some to try i think. Sandra.

I stitched out some FSL bats last night in the glow in dark thread. They shine for a few minutes. Really cool. Still working on getting some pics. I stitched out names from the built in machine fonts for my TOPS group---will try and get them on here. Ladies were happy when I gave them out to go with their purple project buckets!!! Thank you and God bless you.

I love glow in the dark thread and have used it a number of times on designs usually on my grandsons t shirts. Cant say I have tried ironing it so thanks for the info on what happens when one does

I did names on felt for my TOPS group and was going to steam the wrinkles out with the steam iron---I couldn't figure out where the felt went when I lifted the iron---got really upset----REALLY????????????---looked on the bottom of the iron--and uhoh---there it was---It had not TOTALLY melted--but it does not light up like the part that did NOT melt----learned a lesson---if in doubt---use a press cloth. Thanks and God bless you.
