Fellow long arm quilters- needle question
#1
I have a Bailey 13" and have purchased titanium coated needles cause I thought they were supposed to be the best. Problem is every new quilt requires a new needle, is this Normal? Do the rest of you change your needle with each new project? What needles do you use?

I don't chang needles that often, maybe every 3 or 4 quilts. I can tell when it's time to change by the sound of the stitching, it kinda pops when the needle is dull. I have used titanium needles (size 18), I didn't notice and difference.

Poly Batting is hard on needles. Poly anything is hard on needles. thread too.
I use Goetz Bractet or something like that.
I change needles often, because I do customer quilts and don't want to have it do anything to their quilt, to me it is worth a new needle. Every other quilt.
I have gotten a bad couple needles in a row, which is very frustrating.
