I prefer Gutermann hand quilting thread for hand quilting. It tangles less then Coats&Clark for me and doesn’t fray as much at the needle eye. I can do a rocking stitch and load about 5 stitches at a time on my hand quilting needle. If you cannot do a rocking stitch, there is a method called “ stab” stitching that you can look up on the internet. 🪡
