I still don't have my instuction book for my sewing machine - gonna have to find another quilt shop to order it - the one I am trying to buy it thru has had three times to do it and apparently hasn't. Anyways, the needle that was in the machine when I got it is now dull. I took it out, figuring it would have on it somewhere what size it was. Didn't. I went to Walmart. They were all labeled by numbers, not use, except the ones that said they were for jeans. I am trying to quilt the quilt. What size do I use? I think the two sizes were 80*20 and 90*14. Which size do I use? What do the numbers mean? If those aren't the right sizes, what is?

Also, since I've already got you experts - I have a babylock crafters choice. I bought the quilting foot to go with it - looked cheap and plastic, but ok. It broke within two hours of quilting. So, not gonna waste my money on another one. Which foot that came with the machine (a metal one) do you suggest I use?

Thanks everyone!! Virg
