I got about 30 balls of crochet thread and always wonder.
can you hand quilt using it?
has anyone here tried ?
if so how did it turn out?

I think it would be too heavy for regular quilting but perfect for "big stitch" quilting. Just my take, I haven't done a lot of hand quilting.
It's great for knitting socks for 18 inch dolls.

You can create anything you want and this heavier thread would be a standout in a quilt. There is no reason you couldn't use it. I would consider how busy the quilt is and how the crochet thread would show. It could be a very nice effect.

I agree, use it for a big stitch.

Thank you. I think I will dig it out and try a small stample

My mom used it of tying quilts.

There are different thicknesses of crochet thread so make sure you use the same size. You might try a sample sandwich. It would be interesting to see. It may be harder to pull through the sandwich so I would definitely use shorter pieces to avoid shredding.

I've used it for Big Stitch in wall quilts occasionally. The only difficulty I encountered was how to begin and end each thread invisibility. And finding a needle with a big enough eye, yet a sharp point.

Crochet thread is round so the stitch will set higher on the quilt surface.

Try using it in the bobbin, then turn the sandwich over and stitch on the back. You will need to undo the screw on the bobbin tension a bit, ( I keep a casing with no tension screw in it especially for this purpose)
