how often do you change your needle when piecing quilt tops?

A bad needle can mess up the computer machines so I do change often I have found my needles last longer with prewashed fabric getting rid of all chemicals also when quilting polyester batting dulls the needle faster than cotton

Can you make some suggestions about the needles to use for piecing and for quilting? I need insight on this? Thanks!!!

wow. I hadn't ever thought about this. I can't remember the last time I changed my needle - probably if it broke, I know I have changed it just can't say when.
After reading this, I'll be starting my new year out with a new needle on my machine. :)
