I do it often now but maybe not often enough. Do you know if the titanium burrs like regular needles?Nanette Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-62620148910113560832009-01-09T08:51:00.000-07:002009-01-09T08:51:00.000-07:00Nedra! thanks for the information.

I have some top-stitch needles on hand and I'm going to try them out. I'll have to get some of those titanium needles too when they come out.<BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your words of love and encouragement on my recent post. It touched my heart. Thanks so much! I love my job and I love the little boy I take care of. He's just a master manipulator and has a hard time staying on task. He's exerting his free agency which is a special gift to all of us but it sure can be difficult encouraging him to do what is required of him in a mainstream class. We talk a lot about choices and how they can make you happy and sad depending on your choice and choices have consequences, too. It's been really interesting and fascinating working with him. It's the best job!!!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, for the lengthy post but I just wanted to thank you!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/><BR/>btw: your welcome to use my email anytime too if you need anything.Kim Walushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867301434590115299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-85707439804551057762009-01-08T22:53:00.000-07:002009-01-08T22:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the info.

I forget to change my needle and I only use the titanium needle when I use the embroidery part of my machine. I bet it's time for me to change my needle!!Browndirtcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259939643695340109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-73568793120664384062009-01-08T22:35:00.000-07:002009-01-08T22:35:00.000-07:00OOooo.

The most common sizes are 100/16, 90/14 and 80/12. I have all three sizes and use them depending on the size of the thread. The larger the thread, the bigger the needle. I agree with you, Nedra, Superior Threads is very much into educating the public and they do a great job of doing that on their website.Riccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753982377532260184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-3040654359854633712009-01-08T17:04:00.000-07:002009-01-08T17:04:00.000-07:00Great information.

I had never heard of using a topstitch needle for machine piecing either. I heard they were good to use for sewing totes and bags. Interesting.Abby and Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082914470199247665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-40493563773724624002009-01-08T16:53:00.000-07:002009-01-08T16:53:00.000-07:00Wow...this was great information.
