Yup, agreed. I always use a 90/14 topstitch needle for FMQ, and every now and then even a 100/16 if I'm having issues with fraying or breaking thread. The needle, and therefore the thread, goes through the fabric zillions of times at high speed when we do FMQ. The bigger eye and groove in the topstitch needle give the thread just that teeny bit of extra room as it passes through.
