Embroidery Thread and Quilting?

Embroidery Thread and Quilting?
I've been having a problem with my thread breaking constantly during FMQ (every few inches). After replacing my needle, adjusting the tension, and cleaning the bobbin case, I decided to try a different thread. I used a trilobal polyester by Signature A&E Inc, and it didn't break!
This is primarily an embroidery thread, but its also the third brand I've used and the only one that didn't cause problems so far. Are there any issues with using this type of thread to quilt?

I use Isacord and Exquisite thread which I bought from sewforless.com, where I bought my machine. Both are embroidery threads. The owner said a lot of people use embroidery thread for sewing and quilting.

Granted, I used it only once for quilting so far, but I love Glide thread. It is strong, does not break and has a beautiful sheen to it. If you want the quilting to be less noticeable, try using any poly thread. It works just fine.
