For handquilting I would use 100% cotton and a lower thread count. That shouldn't pill and will be easier to push the needle through. I would also wash it several times before making the sandwhich. Cotton flannel would also work but make sure it is cotton.

Yes, I have! And, the quilt group at the church that makes quilts for the homeless does most theirs that way.
But, those quilts are all tied... |
when you go to buy the sheet, take needle and thread with you and try to needle a bit of it to see if it will be easy to quilt.

Have you tried AAA quilters supply? They have great backs, and reasonably price. Not to mention great service.
