Are you piecing or quilting? I use lots of Batiks, every quilt usually has at least a few, have not found my needles to dull quickly when piecing. Sometimes quilting dulls my needle quickly, but that is a combination or the whole sandwich - top, backing and batting being used. I generally use ( Sharps) for my needle choice in my domestic machine. ( as opposed to universals, topstitch, jeans, etc). It is often recommended to change your needle for each new project or after 8 hours of sewing time. Most of us do stretch that but needles do dull with use.
