I have just finished a quilt using Batik and used a 60/8 Universal needles and didn't have any problem. Maybe you can try it. Wishing you all the best I found the items on ebay.

I changed to a Sharp needle but now having more problems.
how in the world will i be able to quilt this thing?? anyone has this much trouble?
most of the fat qtrs were splotchy print and then some fern print that was not as wide either.
I have three more rows to piece, then to put the rows together. But not tonight?
all lovely Fall colors too.
maybe i should let a Long arm quilter do this one, he, he.
