I experimented with Madeira's Sulky, figuring that it would be fine in the washing machine, as you can use it for decorative machine embroidery. It was wonderful when it came off the pillow - kept its shape, didn't shrink, had a shine to it, was fairly stiff, but it didn't wash at all well - shrank and puckered (and I absently mindedly treated it like cotton lace and pulled it back into shape and it spilt threads all over the place)Polyester thread: I agree, Pene, try it first. I seem to recall working with some and it was a little stretchy. Same with some of the machine embroidery threads, such as Isofil and I forget the other one.
