if i am using a quilting motif i normally use regular [cotton] thread.
if i don't have the right color in cotton, i plunder the poly embroidery thread.

i have also played with 30wt embroidery thread for quilting.
looks good.

if i'm doing regular embroidery (such as quilt labels) i go with embroidery thread.
i have sooooo much of it i don't feel a need to fiddle with cotton.

i agree, with barb, that she should do a test run first.
i think that applies to just about everything i'm embroidering for the first time.
