Default Should I rip it out???? Please advise!!

I am brand new to quilting and have only completed 3 baby quilts. Today, I began to FMQ a lap quilt that I am making for my husband's birthday. I noticed a spot where some of my piecing was coming apart so I stopped and repaired the spot. While repairing it, my thread broke three times. I walked over to my machine and pulled some of the thread from the bobbin. It broke quite easily. This is a brand new large spool of sulky embroidery thread and I am 3/4 of the way finished quilting this quilt. I am furious!!!! Should I rip out everything I've quilted so far or should I risk that the thread will hold. The thought of ripping 3/4 of a quilt out makes me want a stiff drink!! My husbands birthday is in two weeks and I so wanted to be finished on time. Also, can you tell me what kind of thread I should use to avoid this situation in the future?? Please advise!! Thanks, Lynn
