Yes. I did the same thing. Started with a matching 50wt, then switched to a matching 40wt. Then on to a coordinating color in 40wt & for some detailing I'll even use 28wt. I know some people that do bobbin work with a 12wt, but I'm not nearly that talented or that brave yet. With Aurifil threads they tell you right on their website what size needle is recommended for quilting with the different weight threads. I believe some of the other manufacturers do that as well.
