What's the difference between quilting thread and regular thread? Is it the thickness? TIA ;D

quilting thread is thicker and stronger to hold the multiple layers together, regular thread is a standard weight for sewing clothing and embroidery thread is thinner and shinier for appearance. You also have metalics which are flat and stretchy. Hope this helps...... ;-)

Quilting thread is thicker and sturdier than sewing thread. Usually it is made of longer staple cotton fibers so it is less prone to breakage when quilting.
