I did see and read alot of the comments here about weights of thread for FMQ. But, I would like to know : What type of thread is best for FMQ? 100% cotton, Poly, mixed? And do you use the same thread in the bobbin?

I use Mettler Silk Finish or King Tut cotton thread on top and Superior Bottom Line in my bobbin when I do my FMQ.
