  1. Quilting thread usually is cotton glazed, therefore it is stronger and goes through the fabric easier. My personal preferance is YLI hand quilting thread, but it is for hand quilting only, and cannot be used on the machine. If you are asking about machine quilting, I don't know, don't do it myself.
  2. Usually the top of the quilt is what people see, but if your stitches are even it doesn't matter how big or small they are, and if the thread matches the fabric then no one will see the actual stitches, and it only takes practice to make them even. I only hand quilt and if I'm satisfied, I don't care about the other person, I have found that others are usually impressed just because it is hand done. Chances are you are ot going to have another professional quilter looking at it anyway. Relax and enjoy doing it!!!
