Quilting thread
Thread chosen for the quilting stage rather than piecing: 40-weight cotton lines (Superior King Tut, Signature 40, Sulky 30 and 40, Mettler Silk-Finish 40) that show the quilting as a design; 50- and 60-weight cotton and polyester (Aurifil 50, Superior So Fine, Mettler 60) that blend into the fabric; monofilament for invisible stitch-in-the-ditch; and 12- and 28-weight cotton (Aurifil, Sulky, Mettler) and perle cotton for big-stitch hand quilting.

Match the needle to the weight — 90/14 quilting for 40 and 50, 100/16 topstitch for 28 and 12 — and put a lighter thread in the bobbin (Superior Bottom Line, Aurifil 50, pre-wound bobbins) to keep the back clean.
Frequently asked questions
What weight thread shows best for machine quilting?
40 weight. 28 and 12 for a bold hand-stitched look; 50 and 60 if you want the texture without the thread.
Cotton or polyester for quilting?
Cotton matches cotton fabric and ages with it; polyester (So Fine, Bottom Line, Isacord) is stronger and finer for dense quilting and the bobbin.
