Schmetz, 80/12 Microtex needle with 50 wt Aurifil thread also. These are the specs that agree with my Pfaff.
My BFF was thrilled to get all my spools of Guterman.

When piecing Denim I will use a Denim or Jeans needle and my Vintage Singer or Kenmore.

I second consulting the Superior knowledge base. I have found it very helpful. Bob from Superior has a YouTube channel and I find his presentations very easy to follow/understand.

For brand Organ is my favorite and Schmetz is my second.
