Hi,
I am piecing the tops for quilts. I am running short of regular
thread, but have lots of polyester machine embroidery thread. Most of
it is 40. Can I use that for piecing the quilt tops?
Thanks for any advice.

Finer thread is usually better for piecing. Can you use it up for
quilting, and get some 50 for piecing?
A thicker thread takes up more 'space' in the fold and can disrupt your
seam allowances.
