I use an 80/12 Microtex (I almost never use universal needles) in all my machines for piecing. With 50 wt thread I get the best result that way. One thing you do have to remember is that a lot depends on what thread you are using and somewhat on the machine you are using.

Just received an email with a link to this chart by Superior Threads - great thread and needle info that I thought might be helpful to this discussion.

Organ70/10 sharp for the Juki. I like the small holes, particularly with a short stitch length.

I like to use a top stitch needle because the eye is larger. I usually test my thread to see which size works best (thread a needle that is not in the machine, hold onto both ends of the thread and swing the needle back and forth to see if the thread moves smoothly -- I use the smallest size needle that works for the thread. I have also caught burs in the eye of a needle before it shredded my thread when I was sewing).
