Default Bobbin for blendables

Good morning-

For the folks using Sulky blendables #30 to quilt, what are you using in the bobbin? I was going to use 50 cotton, being as how I thought 2 heavy threads would be too much and feel like dental floss. A helpful person at Harriet Hargrave's shop suggested this as well.

But when I visited another shop, the owner was very dramatic about how she'd never heard of such a thing and everyone there used the 12 or the 30 in the bobbin. (Of course, they're heavily into embroidery and use mostly polyester and rayon, anyway.)

i also have a book by Karen Linduska, in which she uses machine decorative stitches with the blendables 30 on top and polyester in the bobbin.

Now I am thoroughly confused and hoping that someone more experienced than I (which would be nearly all of you - LOL!) might have some advice.

Thanks,
charlotte
