Titanium needles
It seems that my regular sewing machine needles are getting dull faster then they used to. I was sewing along today and going over a seam the needle pushed the fabric down in the faceplate for a second before piercing. I will replace the needle, ( second time this week) but I was wondering if anyone has tried the new titanium needles and if they prefer them to regular sewing machine needles.

One thing I have heard about titanium needles is that when they break, they tend to shatter. I do not think this is a huge problem if you wear glasses while sewing, but it might be if you have a tendency to forgot to move the needle and hit the presser foot.

Ditto -- the Organ titanium needles seem to last forever for me. I have not shattered one (knock on wood), but I have heard they shatter.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I think I'll be switching to titanium coated Topstitch needles.
I always sew with glasses on so I'm not worried about a needle shattering.
