Specialty threads require specialty needles, quilting, embroidery, metallica, etc.
My Viking Sapphire 875 prefers Schmetz needles usually 80/12 microtex. I like Aurifil,King Tut,Gutterman threads. My vintage and treadle machines do much better with good needles and quality threads. I use a treadle or Featherweight more often than the Viking.
I've been sewing garments for over 40 years and quilting since 1988, I've learned many things about sewing and quilting.

I also sew with a Baby Lock. I use almost any thread with no problem. I do use Superior Titanium Topstitch needles - 80/12 for piecing and 90/14 for quilting. I mainly use Connecting Threads cotton thread, but have also used Superior Masterpiece, and many other kinds.
