Have any of you had trouble with twin needles breaking? I decided to make a wall hanging for my cousin for Christmas and thought I would sew on the fusible black bias with a twin needle. I had never worked with one but I was able to figure out how to thread my Bernina without a problem. Problem is, I broke 3 different needles - yikes!! That was about $15 down the drain. Are these needles more brittle or thinner than regular needles? I had to finish my wall hanging with a zig zag on the bias. It looks ok, but I would have preferred the double stitch. Attached is a picture of one I did previously.
