What size and type of machine needles do you generally use the most?

Bree, I loved the 1956 red & White Crown Victoria. Nothing more beautiful when cleaned and waxed. I was here when they came out.
As for needles, I use mostly Organ needles, 14 for most everything. I have a few 16.

I'm with you Lynnie - I could not tell you what is in my machine right now, and I don't change them unless they break or they keep breaking the thread for some reason. But I did order some TopStitch needles people were talking about to give them a try.

If you have a hard time threading a needle, wet your thumb and finger (spit on it) and draw it across the eye, this fill the eye with moisture, cut your thread at an angle and when you put the thread to eye it will suck it in like a vacuum.
