Any thread lower then 50wt is too thick for piecing. Superior has excellent piecing thread. I use very thin thread in my bobbins like Sew Fine from Superior no matter what the top thread size is. Buy a spool of Superior's silk thread while you are there in a neutral color. You will love it. Also don't forget to get the topstitch needles to fit your thread.
