Default Machine quilting with invisible thread

I want to quilt a multi-colored I Spy quilt on my vintage sewing machine with a walking foot. Hypothetically, I'd like to use invisible thread on the top and blue thread on the bottom. I thought I had some invisible thread, but looked at it and it says "for hand quilting".

I have three questions:

What brand/weight/type of invisible thread should I buy. I would like to buy it locally. I have access to JoAnns, Hobby Lobby (carries Sew-ology thread) and Walmart. My closest quilt store does not carry invisible thread. (I just called and they said the owner does not like invisible thread for quilting.)

Do you have any suggestions that might help me make this work well?

Do you agree with my local quilt shop owner that invisible thread is too brittle?
