Try quilting a sample first to get needle size and tension correct. Maxi Lock is mostly for sergers but it's all purpose poly and stronger then most serger thread. I like Glide or Isocord for machine quilting.

If the client wants a little more attention to quilting we love to use Glide thread with their Magna-glide Delight
pre-wound bobbins. If the goal is to make the quilting blend in as much as possible we use Superior Threads So Fine and their prewound bobbins. We like pre-wound bobbins because the have more thread on them and are wound more smoothly.

Over the years I’ve used plenty of maxilock thread quilting with my longarm. It has worked fine and the quilting has lasted well on quilts that have been used, laundered, stood the test of time. If the color is right I use it. Have been for almost 20 years

Why would the speed of the longarm affect the maxi lock. The serger has a much higher speed or at least mine does, There is no way I could quilt at the speed that the serger runs.
