Guetterman, Mettler, Coats & Clark, and sometimes Superior SoFine #50 and recently for some memory quilts that were strange fabrics (including stretchy "denim") I used Valvaldi #40 cotton--just depends on what I'm working on. My Elna is not picky--thank goodness!

Mostly I use Aurifil but am not a snob either. I use what I have for the color I need, but have also been known to piece with a light or medium gray so I don't have to change colors. My present machine, a 1260 Bernina, will sew with anything. My Singer Quantum didn't like Aurifil.

I've been piecing with a Mettler fine silk wrapped cotton. I love it. I get much more accuracy with this thread than with the chunky basic ones.
For Machine Quilting I use Polyester Isacord. Comes in a ton of lovely colors, on a code, and it's super strong for FMQ!
