Years ago, I was doing a lot of embroidery and went to an All Brands to buy needles. I have a Brother machine but didn't buy it from them. They told me the best needle for embroidery was the Organ HAx130EB 80/12. I believe these are titanium needles. I bought a pack of 100 for $29.95. They are absolutely wonderful! I know a lot of people who change needles after every quilt. I don't. They last forever. I wait to hear them start Plunking and then I change. This is an Etsy listing for the Organ needles that I use.

Except>>>>> I couldn't for the life of me make them sew Velcro. They skipped stitches like crazy. I'll have to research what needle to use if I ever have to sew Velcro again.
