a new sharp needle really makes all the difference in quilting- and piecing-
any time you are having skipped stitches, threads breaking, uneven stitching chances are you need a new needle-
the recommendation is to change needle every 8 hours of sewing time or with every new project...or if your stitching is no longer looking good....some fabrics dull needles faster than others. a sharp needle can make all the difference!
