I use Klasse, Schmetz and Organ 75/11 or 80/12 for piecing. I use 80/12 and 90/14 quilting or top stitch needles for the quilting. My local sewing machine dealer always has their Schmetz needles buy 1 get 1 and when I order from Nancy's Notions and Klasse are on sale I buy them. But I always get 1 80/12 Klasse universal needle with every order I get from Nancy's Notions.
