If it doesn't work, maybe you can find another use for it. I use all kinds of thread on my older sewing machine .... for different effects. I've also put a lot of thread out for the birds and such that didn't work for me.
For piecing I've been successful with all kinds of thread.
For FMQ quilting, not so much. My machine (Janome 7700) seems to love 40 wt. embroidery thread for quilting! It never breaks!
Straight line quilting for me is much like piecing--can use what I have. I've been the fortunate recipient of different people's thread, so I try to use it all! If I can't use it in the top, then I wind it on to bobbins and use it while making scrappy tops.
