You can most easily find the little balls of perle cotton #8 on the internet.
You can also use white/ecru crochet cotton thread #10 in the big balls from Walmart. I've done this very effectively on a commissioned candlewicked quilt.
Using beeswax (again from Joannes) makes the thread easier to thread the needle and to work with.

I am sitting here with a bunch of burlap that has been cut into sections to make pillows. I have been thinking of what I can do to make them unique. This thread gives me some really nice ideas for stitching with pearle cotton. I always enjoy the ideas I get from others who view this website. This is so timely.
