Hand quilting thread
I've been using YLI hand quilting thread. I just discovered Essential Thread 50/3 on Connecting Threads. Anyone ever used this?

i use and recommend Americana at Joanns. .99 a spool excellent quality

Have not used either of those. I, too, use Americana from Joanns as well as Gutterman and Coates & Clark. C&C probably my least favorite. These are the ones local to me and I'm a touchy feely kinda gal who likes to check actual color vs what my monitor says on any given day.

YLI doesn't knot(well - unless I cut it too long, but then that's "operator error") because it's a glazed cotton. When I can get a 400 yrd spool for $4, or a 1200 yd spool for $8, that's much cheaper than Gutterman.

Superior has a hand quilting thread called Treasure.

I have not tried the quilting thread but have purchased alot of machine weight thread from Connecting Threads and have been quite happy with it.

I have used the CT thread for hand sewing my binding and it knots like crazy, even with waxing and cutting short lengths. If it acts like that for binding, I would not recommend using it for hand quilting. It is fine for machine piecing and machine quilting.
