Skip the Universal for quilting cottons. It has a rounded tip so you can sew knits and wovens without doing too much damage. The quilting needle and the sharps are good, but I prefer a size 12. 10-11 are better for thinner fabrics like you'd use for a prom dress. 9 for really fine fabric. 14s are okay for piecing and sometimes needed for FMQ, but I really like a 12. I have been using a Schmertz Microtex 12 for everything lately. I like that one, obviously.
