Jill,
Recognize that as you play in this area of Chenille Embroidery, you will be 
among a small group compared to regular embroidery so you will learn what works 
best for you.
With respect to needle/thread size and density of design for this type of 
effect, it's all up to you, the operator/digitizer, to have fun changing the 
look of the final embroidered work.
However, consider that the thicker and softer the thread gets (like that of 
yarn), the harder it may be for the rotary hook to catch the thread correctly 
under the needleplate.  This is where changing the needle depth setting might 
be required in order to form a larger loop of thread under the needle plate to 
help the rotary hook do it's job.
True chenille machines use a different rotary hook to accomplish this task.
Best of luck to you.
Ed
