Digitizing using thick thread for embroidery design

Awhile back....everything is blending during covid, but there was an article on digitizing using thick thread for high speed embroidery machines.  I have experimented and know that using thicker thread requires less stitches and larger needles.  Anyone else experimented and willing to share their settings or tutorial how to create designs using thicker thread?  It can be a unique and different way to fill large designs using less stitches.  

I have included a pic.

Many thanks in advance
