I'm learning to quilt from the MSQC YouTube videos (excellent videos, by the way!!) and I have a couple of ??s about thread.

Depending upon which fabric store I visit locally and 'who' I speak with, I'm being told conflicting info. One person tells me to use polyester thread when I "machine quilt" and cotton thread when I "hand quilt"; however, when I go to the other fabric store in town, I'm told to "Always" use cotton thread when quilting.

I'm sooo confused ~~ Please HELP!!

I also want to mention that the fabrics I'm using to quilt with are always 100% cotton. Also, does it matter what Brand of thread(s) I use? I've been using Mettler thread as of late, but started out using Gutermann thread.

Thank you, in advance, for you assistance. It's greatly appreciated!!
