I also use the titanium needles and love them. you can tell when they need changing by the sound.
It will be great to get them at 70% off, Patrice thanks for the info.

I change the needle every 8-10 hours of sewing....but I do keep a couple in my pincushion that don't seem to have been used as hard. I keep them for when I'm putting a zipper into a jean purse...always break a needle when doing that...so at least I'm breaking a used needle instead of a fresh one. :oops:

I used to change only when I broke a needle - now I change needles on every other project. I also do alterations in addition to quilting. So I really go thru needles. Thanks for the web sites for bulk buying.
