Vanish Water Soluble Thread 

Vanish is a water soluble thread for machine and hand basting, trapunto, quilting, applique, heirloom, and numerous other uses. It is available in two weights, Vanish-Extra and Vanish-Lite. Both are available on spools and mini cones.  Store Vanish is a resealable bag in a dry place.

Vanish-Extra 

Vanish-Extra may be used on a longarm machine (#19/MR 4.0 needle) or home machine as the top thread, bobbin thread, or both.  Vanish-Extra requires soaking and dissolves faster in warm water.  Depending on the stitch density, gently massaging the thread helps it  dissolve more quickly.

Vanish-Lite

Vanish-Lite is recommended as a top thread and/or bobbin thread for home machine use (#80/12 needle).  It also works well as a bobbin thread for longarm machines.

For best results, use Vanish in both the top and bottom.  For longarm machines, use Vanish-Extra on the top and Vanish-Lite in the bobbin. For home machines, use either Vanish-Lite or Vanish-Extra on the top and Vanish-Lite in the bobbin.
