Don't use the heavier weight quilting thread for piecing. It will take up too much room in your seam, and throw off the size of the pieces. I like to use Aurifil or John Flynn's "So FIne" from Superior threads. Both seem expensive right of, but have a lot of thread on the spool. I generally order them both online from Superior Threads and Red Rock threads.
I almost always use Aurfil, as mentioned it may seem expensive but it is a very thin thread and ALOT is on a spool. I go between three or four neutral colors and that may last me a year, my niece does not sew as much as me and one spool lasted her almost a year; I do ALOT of sewing. Also it makes a difference in how your seams lay it is so fine it does not add to seam allowance or bulk. JMHO :) More get wound on your bobbin so it lasts longer before haveing to wind another:)
