Hand quilting question-- bigger stitches
#1
Hello! I received for Christmas 2 great books, Material Obsession 1 and 2. Almost too much to take in from some of these quilts!! I love the hand-quilting on them, but most use bigger stitches in perle cotton (is this embroidery thread?).
Can anyone tell me, is this bigger size of stitch and type of thread sturdy for quilts that are used regularly and machine washed?

My MIL was from the old country and I have a quilt she made for my son about 40-45 years ago using crochet thread. This quilt has been in the washing machine and dryer so many times, sat on, bunched up, etc etc and it has never popped a seam or quilting stitch in all those years. Has not even faded and is still going strong. I think this about covers it.
