You could ask the charity you're considering donating to the reason for the request. One of the reasons I was told is because of the risk of the thread melting in the commercial dryers the charities/hospitals use. I think this is aimed at nylon threads, not the mono poly, but suffice it to say that if the charity sees a clear thread on a quilt, they may not make the distinction, and your carefully crafted, lovingly donated quilt may end up in the reject pile.
