I wouldn't worry about it so much with clothes because we don't expect them to last generations like we do quilts.
Poly thread manufactured now will not harm the fabric. It has been disproved many times. . Seems it's the quilters that have been quilting for for several decades that still believe this and keep passing the wrong info along. I think that comes from not keeping up with what is new in the quilting products. I won't use poor quality thread no matter what type it is. CT cotton thread is very good and not expensive.
