Whilst, in my opinion, thread the size of DMC 50 is suitable for a lot of Bucks patterns, an equal number require thread even finer. It all depends on the size of the grid the pattern is drawn on - and a common way of measuring that is by counting the number of footside pinholes per inch (or cm). I regularly use either Brok 100/2 or 120/2 for Bucks - both of which are finer than DMC 50.
