I always thought that "quilting thread" was a lot heavier/thicker than "all-purpose thread"
I used Coats & Clark cotton covered Dual Duty "all-purpose thread" for any hand piecing that I did. It served me well.
That was about 30 years ago, though.
For the record, I used Coats & Clark cotton covered Dual Duty thread for our couch quilts - probably also made over 25 oyears ago. No fabric breakage by any seams. The quilts are wearing out - but the stitching lines are just fine.
