I use poly and cotton for piecing and machine quilting. Doesn't matter to me. The highest quality cotton thread is long staple Egyptian cotton. Poly is poly, can't change quality of it but how it's manufactured makes a big difference. There is a reason for the price spread on thread and it's not just the brand name. I say use what your machine likes and the one that gives you the result you want.
