I have used Universal alot and I use 10 to 14 size. Right now I have Schmetz. I know it is probably better to change them but I don't. I have an old 1950s Singer and it is a simple machine no fancy stitches. That may make a difference I don't know. As long as I can do what I need to do I don't worry about it.
