If you're piecing, a 12 or 14 works fine. For quilting, a 16 or 18 works better. However, I wouldn't use embroidery threads, which tend to be weaker.

I used a mirror and looked at the hole the needle goes in to. Makes it easier to put the needle in, and you can see which way the flat part actually goes.
