Thank you so much for this informative podcast! I have saved it in my favorites to listen to again as it has taught me so much about different types of needles. this is such important information that I really did not know when I started my self taught sewing journey and I have so much more to learn!
I have a Bernina Artista that only allows me to sew with Schmedt's needles. They really are the best. on my other machines I use Oregon and just change them all the time. One other thing about needles is the numbering systems drive me crazy! The only concept I could wrap my mind around is number 9 needle light fabric number 16, needle, heavy canvas and denim. I just know numbers. The numbering systems that needle companies use to identify what type of needle it is, like this 705 household or the h x1m nomenclature drives me ballistic! I have at least eight machines and three of them use different types of needles.

Such a useful discussion. Thank you for reminder to test, and keep options on hand.
What's the difference between microtex and the quilting chrome needles?

and to save myself from having to buy different needle types, I just buy ballpoint everything.
