Sheena uses Gutermann's invisible thread for attaching beads and sequins and such but it is a pain to use. Her "Hearts for February" blog entry explains how she managed to tame it. There is much more in the article, including the Valentine's stitch diagrams for her band sampler.

Gutermann's makes all sorts of sewing machine threads. Here is their Invisible monofilament thread. It comes in light and dark. I suspect most needlepointers would want the light but maybe it is worth investing in both shades.
