What size needles would that be, and what does the package say as I don't think I have ever seen any that say specifically topstitch needles? I have tried Schmetz 90/14 as someone else told me that worked for them (and they did work in the last quilt that I quilted). I just looked in my needle stash and none of them say Topstitiching needle, so I am just being a little dumb right now about what to buy. What does the package say and what brand? I have also heard another quilt say she uses a jean needle so will try that this morning. I am sure getting lots of advice and am really appreciating it as then you don't feel quite so alone with your frustration knowing that so many people have been there before. Thanks so much for sharing your experience as well. Have a great day! CA
