Default Using wooly nylon thread for decorative stitches

I am quilting a scrappy quilt using my sewing machine decorative stitches (looks great!). I tried using wooly nylon thread and I love the appearance. Using a larger needle and my top tension at 6.5, I get a really nice stitch, however, I have had a real problem with the bobbin thread bunching up into "cotton balls", and I have to stop and clean this up really often. What is the secret to sewing with wooly thread? Apparently it has its uses, otherwise it wouldn't be on the market???? Any tips would be appreciated. In retrospect, I believe I bought this thread to use with my serger....
