    Love the look. I like to use the cotton size 8 thread.

    I believe mine say "large eye", but I admit to having them in abundance for 18 years! So don't know if that particular one is still made. You might google that.

    I do use a Clover brand needle threader often.

    Sort of depends on the sizes written on those big balls. I buy from Walmart in the "10 weight".

    I really like the big stitch finish. You are doing such an even stitch-great work.

    That looks great and the big stitch is appropriate for the scale.
