No, you really don't want to use hand quilting thread in your machine. Or crochet thread either. If you want a quality stitch, use a quality thread. If the hand quilting thread has the "glaze finish," it's like running wire through your machine -- it has a mind of it's own. It will tangle and pull the needle into the hook and put a burr on it. I've seen machines with hand quilting thread come into the shop for repairs, way too many times.
