I've never used a bodkin (a flat metal needle). I have been quite pleased with the #16 tapestry needle. The #13 is too big for my liking and smaller sizes #18 to #22 are too small.
This is just a suggestion but whenever I am purchasing monks cloth off a bolt, I ask the associate if they know how to "pull strings" for the fabric. If they say "no" I ask them if I can show them how. Simply grab the row you would cut on and pull the four strings all of the way. This clears out an entire row of floats and gives you a wider line to cut on and it's a lot quicker.
I love her work! She has the best patterns ever. Thank you for all your hard work, we get to benefit by all of your hard work. Thank you again and God bless you

Also, if you have a surger, it's much easier to surge the fabric. Thanks for the video. I'll have to tell my swedish weaving students to look for it.

I see you use a yarn needle. Do you ever use a bodkin?
