Default Quiting thread that stands out and shows up.

Most of the time I use 50/3 thread for quilting and decide on color/contrast whether I want it to show or not. I also have some 40wt thread so I am familiar with it. Now I want to add a very showy feather design on a wall hanging. I'd prefer not to stitch over and over again - rather I'd prefer a thick line to start.

What weight do you use for thick lines and can you recommend a brand? Or do you build up to the desired thickness by quilting over the same lines again?

I am venturing into uncharted territory.......
