Welcome to the board from central Alabama.

Can't help with the thread, I haven't started hand quilting yet.

Hello and welcome from Ontario. Like most things quilting, alot depends upon your personal preference and what look you want. Sorry not much help.

Hi Karen, welcome from Minnesota!

Sorry I can't help you with your thread question either ... I don't hand quilt.
