Good point, Candy. I bought a vertical thread post for my machine years ago because sliver thread needs to come off a vertical spool to not break. I've found that a lot of thread does better on a vertical spool.
I also wonder about quilting a quilt with rayon. I use it often to quilt garments because I like the look, but my garments don't get washed at all and don't get subjected to much real use.
