What is your favorite fishing line to use in sewing up your mounts?

Which one's are truly "invisible" on your seams?

What kind of stitching do you use one your back line sewing?

I use cape thread coated with beeswax.  I don't use fishin line because it cuts the $h1t out of my hands.

wear rubber gloves when sewing and you won't get cut nearly as bad.

My favorite fishing line is the one with a Big Fish on the other end. As for sewing I kinda like Fast Flight Plus archery thread in black or brown.
