Different needles, different purposes, different results.
For regular sewing ... Universal needles are what I want, but which size?
So that means two or three packages.
Sometimes when I am FMQ the "Quilting" needles just don't do the job.
Embroidery might work better. Sometimes Topstitch needles are what is needed.
Microtex are on standby.
Then there are Jeans needles for heavy duty work.
Leather for the obvious. Metallic for those specialty threads.
Yes, I have a lot of different types of needles ... with extras on stand-by.
If I catch a sale ... stockpile!
There is nothing worse than to not have what I need, when I want to use it in a project.
So yes, I have a nice little stash of needles!!!
