I have used mono-filament thread for machine quilting in the beginning, now I sometimes use it for applique work, but I have developed a preference for Rayon thread for the top of the quilt, with just a matching thread for the backing. I especially like using the variegated threads for quilting, as I think it gives a little more depth and jazz to my quilts.

Yes.

In my opinion, the "fishing line" experience has been much improved upon in recent years, with new developments in materials, technology and textiles.
Why don't you try it for yourself? Make a sample or a small lap quilt and see how you like it. :)
ACK a bit too late for this info, I'm currently SID with Mono on top for a queen quilt where I didn't want the stitching to show. I guess I'll find out after Christmas as it's a gift for oldest daughter.

I had to pin the seams that I was to SID with the Mono so after I stitched thast seam I would take out the pin so I knew I had already stitched it. sounds crazy put it has worked so far.
