Not to discourage you from Connecting Threads- but if you try their poly, buy one before you buy a bunch. I have never tried it, so I have no idea, but their cotton thread is the thickest thread I've ever used for the weight it says it is (still, it is my go to cotton thread, not bashing.)
The thing that makes the Isacord so ideal for the type of quilting Leah does is that it is thin, so you can stack many layers of it without breakage, or too much build up. If the Connecting Threads poly is thick it won't have the same property regardless of being poly.
I buy my Isacord from IMachinegroup.com- if you buy 5-10 spools, shipping isn't as bad and it is the best price I've found online. (Not affiliated) I get the giant cones of white. I find I use a lot of white.
