For machine quilting, my favourite is a trilobal polyester 40 wt with a bit of sheen. I prefer polyester because it doesn't fuzz like cotton in the bobbin area. I use a matching 60 wt on the bobbin, only because I can wind more onto my bobbin, and matching because tension issues are less noticible.

Yellowroses, you will love their thread. I use it and have had the great results with their Glide, Permasoft spools and Magna Glide bobbins. Their customer service is great. I also love Omni thread by Superior. It has the look of cotton with the strength of poly and no lint.

Bobbin central no longer sells retail. You must have a wholesale account with reseller tax ID and the initial minimum order is now up to $100 subsequent orders are $50 (which is actually pretty easy for me to do ). There are loads of retailers that now carry Glide. Metro Embroidery https://metroemb.com/store/index.php?route=common/home in addition to their own trilobal polyester, also carries Glide.
