For big stitch quilting with perle or #10 crochet cotton I like to use either Dritz #7 darning needles or long Tulip sashiko needles. They have larger eyes, but they're long, thin, and sharp, and go through the layers easily.
I use long thin needles for sewing on bindings too, because short needles make my hands hurt.
