Is viscose thread a good choice for quilting?

There are many different opinions on which thread is ideal for quilting. A good rule of thumb is to choose a thread made of the same material as the fabric you are using. For example: I would choose cotton thread if I am using cotton fabric, but if I am using a synthetic fabric (like polyester) I would choose a synthetic thread-- like viscose rayon or polyester.

It is best to use the same materials for your fabric and thread so that when washed and dried, everything shrinks evenly.
