I just bought some Klasse Titanium coated machine needles ( I have a brother machine). I have tried 3 so far, when I sew my machine makes a clunking sound, kinda like a flat tire. My machine is usually really quite sounding. I think my machine doesn't like them. LOL. It's really hard to sew over a seam, when joining blocks, I have to stop & raise my pressor foot. I never did that before, except with demin jeans. I've just picked up some other needles, hopefully I'll get to try them this weekend. Anyone else have problems with them.

I use them for my most prized work. Love them. I agree that the needle may not be up in the shaft far enough. try again. When you use these needles you may never want another. I ordered a case of 11's and a case of 12's. They have been so popular they are on back order. Maybe a year before I get them. :thumbdown:

I use the Klasse titanium needles for machine quilting. I think they work best. A lot less skipped stitches. I use Schmetz for piecing because they are less expensive since I can get them on sale at Joann's.
