Well, besides my current sewing machine...LOL....tulip needles. They have such great reviews, but the eye hole is so tiny. I cannot even get 2 ply Aurifil thread through it without the thread gathering up. Plus, the thread slips right through and I have to rethread the needle more often then any other needle that I have ever used. I bought sizes 8-12 in both the quilting and milliner's needles.
