It's true that some machines like certain kinds of thread better than others. Something else to consider is that the type and size needle in your machine can affect how well it handles different threads. Most threads I machine quilt with do well with topstitch needles in size 80 or 90.
It's a good idea to test the thread you want to use on a practice piece of the same fabrics and batting your quilt is made of. That way you can try different needles, tension, etc. til you get it just right without having to take unsatisfactory stitches out of your quilt.
