    If you're going to use a 'between' needle I would certainly recommend Roxanne needles. I've gotten mine from Colonial Needle and truly love them for hand quilting. I also use them for sewing...

    I, too, mostly use Warm & Natural. It is a heavy batting but I don't find it adds a lot more warmth as it's 100% cotton and, therefore, breaths. I also like a heavy blanket and this seems to fit...

    I would also recommend the 301. I, too, have a featherweight and love it but because of the 'cuteness' factor, they tend to be quite pricey. The 301's are not overly cheap but they are not quite as...

    I, too, have a floor lamp that I put to the right of my machine. I find it helps tremendously. My machine sits in front of a window which is also good but the floor lamp still helps quite a bit.
