Sorry I didn't ask this with my first post regarding quilting needles, but what size needle is preferred when sewing on the sewing machine? Is it different for piecing than with quilting?
|
it is whatever size fits in your hand and is comfortable.
some use betweens (quilting) while others may use sharps. |
I use a 14 usually, but some will use down to a size 12.
|
I usually use a 14 or 12.
|
For machine piecing I usually use a 10 and for machine quilting usually a 12.
|
I use an 11 or 12 for piecing & a 14 or 16 for quilting at the domestic machine. I use a 16 or 18 on the quilting machine. The size needle you use is determined by how thick your thread is.

For 28 years I've used a Schmetz Universal 80/12 for most machine piecing.

I checked my book on machine & used what they suggest for quilting.
