The HAND is thicker than REGULAR. Wouldn't it 'stick out and be seen' more.
I use 100% cotton REGULAR sewing thread for hand sewing hexagons together. I also coat the thread with wax to help it glide thru the fabric. If you thread the needle --- how to describe this --- the spot where I cut the thread off the spool is the end I tie the knot. So the thread knots up less when I sew. I hope this helps.
I use 100% cotton too and thread from the spool and cut, the spool end is the knot end (this really does stop tangling). Good idea to use handquilting thread on the yoyos, but I wouldn't sew my hex's with it.
Humbird that quilt is stunning!
