Sharon,
To get you by until you can order some of the same
needles that I sent to Krystyna you can buy ANY brand
Top Stitch SHARP needle; but you only get 5 needles to
a package and as you may know those 5 needles can cost
anywhere from about $.400 and up.
I buy my needles from
allstitch.net for $26.69 per 100 needles.
From my own personal experience I found that using ONLY the
SHARP point needles for everything (including lace) has eliminated
97% of my issues with embroidery. The other 3% I found that I had
to use a BALL point needle for stitching on items such as t-shirts or
knits.
I use the 75/11 & 90/14 the most and sometimes I use the 80/12
although not as much as the other two.
Something else I found that helps TONS with embroidery is using
thread nets on ALL my spools of thread, it helps to control how much
thread is being unwound at a time. I started using the nets only on
my metallic threads, but soon found that my thread did much better
when I used the net for any kind of thread.
Hope some of this information will help you.

Debating big time. I would hate to cancel and still have the problem.
Thanks for the advice and please let me know where I can find those type of needles.
