And not to mention all the DUST that will accumulate inside your machine! (Please don't do it!)

The thread for hand quilting and the thread for machine piecing are actually wound differently, which is another reason you don't want to use hand quilting thread in your machine. I think that's what causes all the dust, though I am not 100% positive. I do know that using hand quilting thread in your machine will cause frayed threads and will result in a lot of breakage, which is highly frustrating!! I learned that many long years ago, before I knew any better. :roll:
