I use different weight threads for hand piecing and hand quilting. For hand quilting I use the glazed cotton Coats and Clark hand quilting thread or YLI hand quilting thread. I find these threads too thick for hand piecing, though. For that I use Aurifil 50 wt cotton. Is the Amish quilt your bought an antique or was it made recently?
