I have the book ..."Utility Quilting" and it is still available on Amazon.com ranging in price from $25.00 new to $18 and change used. The "utility" stitching is the quilting part. These are the threads suggested for use:
Valdani pearl cotton #12, crochet cotton #20, DMC linen embroidery floss, DMC cotton tapisserie #4. It's actually a really cool book of 127 pages complete with some quilting designs. This is for hand quilting...not machine. The finished work resembles Sashiko. They are uniform stitches but longer than a quilting stitch with more space between stitches and, in some instances, look really good in contrasting colors. Hope this helps.
