I just finished reading "Thread Work Unraveled"by Sarah Ann Smith. It goes into all the needle and thread questions. I borrowed it from the Library, but it would be a good book to own. It is chocked full of good information.

A good reference site: http://www.denverfabrics.com/pages/s...ch-needles.htm

I like universal needles. They seem to work fine for me.

will have to try the microtex
thanks for the info

Thanks, I learn some thing new every day.

New to me, such great information on this board!

My Juki TL 98QE says to use Organ needles so that is what I use, they have 2 different sizes. I only piece and quilt.
