Monofilament thread is made from two materials -- nylon and polyester. Both nylon and polyester monofilament thread are readily available to quilters and have a similar appearance. The threads may be used interchangeably in machine quilting or for "mock hand applique" stitched on the machine. Invisible thread is helpful for beginning machine quilters since it makes stitches less noticeable.
