I'm a newbie to quilting. what type of thread is highly recommended for sewing quilts? I just purchased a new maching and paid quite a bit for it and they say "Don't use cheap WalMart thread". We don't have a JoAnns or Hobby Lobby so I'll have to order it online. Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Tristanthreads.ca has got Aurifil on clearance now, fab prices, reasonable shipping. Candace from Elk Grove, CA of this board told us all about it in another thread about thread. I just ordered and LOVE the thread and the deal. Tell them Candace referred you, b/c I'm just passing her tip along. I use 50 wt to piece and I think experienced FMQ-ers use 12, 28, or 40 wt to quilt. I also hear folks praise Connecting Threads and Superior Threads. I like their Masterpiece for piecing.
