I have used pearl cotton for applique and fancy stitches, only it's used in the bobbin (I have an extra casing with the tension screw removed). First straight stitch around the edge of the applique, this gives a guide line to sew the blanket stitch or such from the back side.

Hi, I have the HZL-DX7 which I think is very similar to the Juki HZL F600. I don't think those machines can handle any thread "bigger" than 30 wt. Maybe check your manual.
I have a Juki TL2010Q, and have used 12 wt on that machine, but when I tried it on the HZL-DX7, it definitely didn't work ...
Looking forward to reading what other quilters have to say.

I use floriani, Robinson Anton, and a few others. Make sure your needle is also the right size. When threading your machine make sure your presser foot is up, this will really effect how it goes thru the thread feeds. I've even used Aurifil, it depends on the look you want

Becareful when messing with your bobbin tension unless you have a spare. It can be a pain to get it back to where it was. That's why some machines now include an extra bobbin case with the machines.
