So far I have been using Schmetz embroidery needles, but from a large supply I´m down to my last 5 now. In my local shop they insist that universal needles are just as fine, and I really can´t say I´ve noticed any difference when I´ve tried them a couple of times. What do you guys use? What IS the differense? It looks like (or I might be imagening!) the eye is slightly bigger at the mebroidery needle, I guess to protect the thread because of the enormous amount of stiches, or...??? I live in a small town and probably have the only embroidery machine in town so they don´t stock embroidery dedicated stuff, but I do prefer buying stuff locally when possible. It´s so nice to have a good local fabric shop, hardware store and so on even i such a small town!!
