Default Invisible thread (again - sorry)

I am still new at quilting and have not yet tried out any invisible threads.
There are so many different colors in the two I Spy quilts I'm making that I
think this might be the best thread to use for machine quilting them. I
bought a spool of Sulky polyester monofilament invisible thread. The only
size available was "Fine .004". Is this size correct for machine quilting
or is it too fine? Are there any tricks to using this thread for machine
quilting? (lower tension, etc.?)

I know this subject has been discussed a lot before but I was still a bit
unsure about this. Thanks so much for any pointers.

Bonnie
