what size needle to use
#1
Hi am quilting a tee shirt quilt for a lady at my church for free and I am having trouble with the thread breaking my question is what size needle do you use for this heavy fabric? I will never again quilt a tee shirt quilt for anyone it seems to be hard

Maybe your top tension is too tight....If your needle hole is too big it can shred the thread...what kind and size are you using? Did you try rethreading your machine? What do you have in the bobbin?What kind of thread are you using in the top?

the tread is gutterman and is the same on the top and bottom. the only difference is the color. tenison is fine I am thinking because of the heaviness of the fabric i might need to go to a heaveier needle? What do you recommend?
