Some things to consider ...
Needle Size ... careful that you are not oversizing, as too much slack in the needle hole can have the thread slipping around too much, and ultimately it will break.
Needle Type ... is a huge important variable to get right and too, can affect the success of a thread. While you are now using a top stitch needle, what others have you been using? The type that works best can change from quilt-to-quilt, dependent on the types of fabrics used, number of seams, batting, etc. My go-to is usually an embroidery needle. Sometimes that's where I stay, and sometimes, I switch it up a bunch of times til things seem just right. Have also used your top stitch, and several others. Even a jeans needle, when the going gets tough!
Threads ... Are you FMQing? or straight line quilting? That can make a difference in the threads we choose to use. Recently in a discussion with a LA dealer, he gave me a mini-lesson on FMQing thread. We should use a tri-lobal thread (meaning 3-strands) as that helps create a circle effect of the thread. Why? with the 3-strands, it stays pretty much the same shape going through the fabrics, no matter which direction we FMQ ... back, forward, around in circles, loopy and more! Whereas, a 2-strand thread gives a flat surface (as micro-small as that is!). So, doing straight line stitching, no problem, but as soon as we try to do the FMQing, we can run into problems.
The only one I can say for certain is that Aurifil is a 2-strand thread.
Others? can't tell you!
