Default Quilt thread

I have been hand stitching a couple of quilts this past week while recovering from an injury. My problem is that my thread keeps knotting, or breaking, or just disintegrating. It is so frustrating!

I have tried three different threads, just plain cotton/polyester thread, a silk thread, and what is called quilting thread (Gutermann 100% cotton quilting thread). The Gutermann was the worst for knotting up and breaking, and the silk thread was the best, but still breaking off or unraveling at the ends.

Do any of you have suggestions for me? I will be chair-bound for a few months, so I have plenty of time on my hands to quilt. [TABLE="class: products products-table width-100"]
