Default thread for decorative stiching

I heard recently that if you want your decorative stitching to look nice you should use a thicker thread. I tend to sew mostly with either cottons which are 40 or 50 wt or embroidery thread (for embroidery machine) which are very fine (no idea how fine as can't see thread wt on them)

What thread weight do you use to make your decorative stiches look pretty ? I have a bernina 570, what is the thickest thread I could use on my machine?

And where can you buy thicker thread ? I tend to order from craftsy as they are the ones that have a big selection and ship to France for a reasonable postage and no customs or duties at my end. I will also be visiting the UK in June so could get some there when I visit.

regards,
Joanne in France
