Yes you can! :lol:
I belong to a quilting group and that is all that one lady uses! Swears by it , and makes some beautiful quilts.
Another lady ... older .... been quilting for over 50 years - she uses coats all purpose thread. Doesn't like the "hand quilting" thread at all because it is too heavy. She uses votive candles to slide the thread through.
Hope that helps!
