While I've never used wash away thread in quilting, I use it in heirloom sewing when I do Maderia applique. The wash away thread makes Maderia applique so much easier. Just be sure to remember to change the thread before sewing any seams that need to be permanent.

I use it all the time. It comes in different weights and the cheapest and easiest way to use it is to just have it in the bobbin. When you wash it you can easily pull the top thread away. If you put it in the top of the machine as well as the bobbin, it is more difficult to sew through the material because of the texture and bulk. It is great for machine trapunto.
