LOL squeaking needles is new one for me! I swear by Roxanne betweens. Size 11. The needle is small but the eye is bigger. But like I said, I had the same issue and have been using nothing but Roxanne's for a while now. So they too are not infallible!

My favorite hand quilting needle is the Hiroshima Tulip needle. They cost more, but they are hand made and polished so there are no burrs and are strong enough that they seldom bend. This needle might solve your problem.

I have bought them on Amazon, but now my local quilt shop carries them.

Hiroshima Tulip makes needles for a variety of uses, so be sure to get the needle for hand quilting or betweens.

I have this problem sometimes when I do the stab stitch. I do seem to puncture the thread when I bring the needle up thru the bottom to the top since I do not see where the thread is in relation to the needle. I hope I am making myself clear.
