Just tried this
I think I have a lifetime supply of thread. Was just starting to pantograph a quilt. I needed a beige thread and of course I didn't have any except two spools of hand quilting thread I had bought by mistake. I put in a size 18 needle & tired it ( it was the exact color). I've done 6 rows so far and I'm really liking my stitches. Oh, I also used a really fine thread in the bobbin.

No, you really don't want to use hand quilting thread in your machine. Or crochet thread either. If you want a quality stitch, use a quality thread. If the hand quilting thread has the "glaze finish," it's like running wire through your machine -- it has a mind of it's own. It will tangle and pull the needle into the hook and put a burr on it. I've seen machines with hand quilting thread come into the shop for repairs, way too many times.
