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.

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.
