Why not try a spool and see how it works for you. There are small spools available if you just want to give it a try. Like many things in quilting, we each have our own favorites. You need to experiment to find out your favorites. I use Aurifil thread for most everything, my favorite. Less lint in the bobbin area, more thread on each bobbin, makes a nice flat seem and doesn't break for me. I use it in my Pfaff.
