What is your favorite needle for machine quilting?
Just curious what everyone prefers - topstitch needle, universal, quilting? What size? I know that a Microtex is great for batiks. Thanks all!

I have just starting using topstitch #14 needles and I love them!! You need to try a package to see the difference. the only issue is my self threader on the janome and pfaff and viking doesn't work with the elongated needle hole, but the needle is very easy to thread by hand.

Keeping that info in mind, if you were to fmq with a 50 weight cotton (like Connecting Threads Essentials), what needle size would coordinate? I also get so confused about needles and what size to use.
