    I'm glad my questions were able to help other folks as well! That's the beauty of this community, so many wonderful people sharing their advice and experience! The other twin in a boy. I may try to make him one as well before they arrive. I did get him a gift as well, just not a handmade one. I'm a slow quilter.
    Silly me assumed "universal" needles just meant they could be used with all machine brands...sounds like I need to read about needles...haha.

    Your quilt is adorable and thanks for asking the question. Refreshing is good for everyone.

    A walking foot would also be helpful. My first walking foot was $15 at Joann’s and worked just fine. If you are going to invest in a better machine, a lot of them come with a walking foot.

    A Universal needle means it can be used with both woven and knit fabric, but, in truth, it doesn't do a good job with either. Too rounded for wovens, except very loosely woven ones and not rounded enough for knits (you want a ballpoint here). I like Schmertz Microtex needles, size 12 for piecing and most FMQ, but Organ needles from ebay are great priced and work well, too.
