I buy the needles from Superior. Great customer service and good sale prices too. I think shipping is still $3 or it was the last time I ordered. The titanium needles last so much longer then the regular needles they pay for themselves.The link for allbrands seems to be needle sizes for heavy weight thread. I have no idea what size 12 14 and 16 is, compared to the needles sizes I know. Stick with Superior and get exactly what you want with no guess work.
