How Often Do You Change Your Needle?
It's just something I think about. Also I don't pay attention to the type of needle! I do embroidery and quilting but never think about changing needles! How do you remember to change the needle?

I use Organ Titanium coated sewing machine needles and they last months longer then regular needles. I can tell when to change, my machine will make a different sewing sound. If you don't pay attention then the old needle sound will become normal sounding to you but it's not normal. I always match needle size to thread size.

I use a different needle for each project. If a quilt requires more stitching then I change between piecing and quilting. I buy them from jhittle 50 at a time at about 40 cents a needle so ... change seems easy enough.
