[quote=Renee110I have read somewhere (I will try to find it) that you use perle cotton which comes in different sizes. [/quote]
I handquilt in a slightly larger stitch, with a larger needle, with #10wt. crochet thread all the time. My quilts go into shows, are done for commissions and receive wonderful comments frequently.
When I use "regular" handquilting thread, it's YLI, Mettler 40 wt. (which I wax with beeswax), or Premium Sulky 100% Cotton 12 wt. which I buy online.
