wow= that is not sewing machine thread...unless you have a commercial machine for working on canvas-
with a darning needle (hand needle) you might be able to use it for some hand work (like blanket stitch or big stitch quilting)
my nephew messed up and bought 12 weight once- he thought would be good for quilting---NOT---it's too heavy-
even if you actually found a needle with an eye large enough- i would be very worried about what it would do the my tension disks- the route of threading in my machine- i would think it could really mess things up- tension never be the same again.
just my h.o. I know the 12 weight was not usable at all in my viking- i called the viking shop and asked questions- they told me (for my machine) i should not be using any thread heavier than about 30 weight- if i didn't want to have problems
