WOW!!!! Thank-you ckcowl, ghostrider and Scissor Queen for the links and info to the links regarding needles.
This is like the question.."Do you wash material before you piece?". Everybody has their way of doing things.
I do know that the thread does matter (for a lot of people) on what type of machine you have.
Thanks again to all who have responded to my question. I have learned sew much regarding needles and thread.
Also, thank-you Dolphyngyrl (sp) for not telling the Quilting Police on me.
As I said before...well keep checking back on the responses to my question.
People on here are WONDERFUL
