A good place to find quality sewing threads are at local arts and craft stores. One would most likely recommend Michael's or Jo-Ann, the two biggest arts and craft stores in America.

Low thread count material can have a rough look compared to the plushness of a higher count material. If you go with a bedskirt with a lower thread count, you may find that it does not hold up due to its bad quality. It may not wash as well as a higher quality skirt.
How do you sew circles on an applique?
You have two options here, which are equal in difficulty. 1. Sew with your machine- this simply takes practice in applying the right amount of consistent pressure on your applique so that the stitching does not appear jagged or jumpy. If you have a low quality sewing machine I would strongly advise against using your machine. Especially if you have problems with thread tension. 2. Sew by hand. If you're proficient in hand sewing, give it a go. I usually use a whip stitch or chain stitch when hand sewing in a circle- I find straight stitching too tedious. Good luck.
