I generally go with the Schmetz 80/12 Microtex for piecing, although I may use 70/10 with batiks.

So the "Janome" needles and the Organ needles are the same?

Yes, it is Organ that makes the needles for Janome. You can get lots of Organ needles for next to nothing on Amazon, in comparison to the cost of the Janome needles or Schmetz.

I love Schmetz 75/11. In fact, I am very happy when I find a package of all that size.

I must add after reading what Rhonda said, that when I first started quilting, I knew nothing about changing needles often, and would let mine go for a year or more. Boy was I dumb!!

I use Schmetz 90/14 for everything, but I think I will change to an 80/12 for piecing since that is what so many others use.
