Default Hand quilting thread

Has anyone done hand quilting with thread designed for machine quilting? I'm thinking perhaps it would wear down through the quilting process since it isn't glazed. But . . . ??? I have some I would love to use, rather than having to buy another spool just for hand quilting.

I do use mine, I just cut it shorter than I would if it was specifically for hand quilting , like maybe 12” instead of the 18”

Yes, I used machine quilting thread when hand quilting. I haven't had any problems doing that. I just made sure to run the thread through some thread conditioner (thread magic) or bees wax.
