I have posted a project with a question about mylar attached, I would appreciate any input you all may have. Thanks!

What ever it is it is very pretty for your project it but definitely is NOT mylar. Mylar is the brand name for a special type of stretched polyester film and is not the stuff used for embroidery.

I though it was the stuff balloons are made of.

Mylar is heat resistant to over 400F. It is recommended never to iron or place in the dryer the embroidery film.

I suppose as long as you are not putting the item in the wash it should work. I have used that iridescent packing material instead of mylar. .I also used bits of mettalic threads and yarn because I felt that the digitizing is as such to let material show through yet keep it in place. Have fun

I have no idea what this twist is made of, but it's going into ornaments now!

And, I save my thread clippings too so we'll give that a try also.
