I was looking over the guidelines in the manual for my machine, and it recommends different threads for different projects. For one that I am going to be working on, I need to use 50 3 ply cotton. Sounds simple enough.

Until I go to the store, lol. Apparently marking the weight on threads is not a priority for the thread companies. And the few people I have asked don't seem to know how to determine this either.

Can anyone tell me what brand to look for, or how to determine if the thread is indeed a 50 3 ply cotton? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did see that hand quilting and machine quilting threads were different.
