Anyone use the titanium topstitch needles? Any reports on whether they are good, bad or just not worth the bother? I am getting to the point where my sewing room has been tweaked and maybe moving towards some quilting! Taria

Here comes the expected answer. It depends. Buy a couple sometime and see if you enjoy them. Personally, I love the fine results of a new sharp needle; I get them by the hundred and change often. What do you mean you tweaked the sewing room? Mine could enjoy some tweaking - like adding 60 or

I really enjoy using the titanium needle! Do you mean that your sewing room is all straight and neat? If so, be sure to take some pictures! Barbara in SC
I thought I hit send to reply to this but I guess my mail is still flaky. Thanks Polly and Barbara. I usually buy machine needles by the 100 but will try out a few of these before I get wild and crazy. They look to be worth a shot.
Several months ago we moved into the house we have been 'making over' for the last 11 months. My new sewing room here is a work in progress like a lot of other stuff. Things weren't working at all but the other evening I got in there and made what so far seem like good changes. I'll do some pics when it looks good. Taria

G'day Taria I've changed to titanium needles from April this year and my quilting has i mproved considerably. No more thread breaks and more even stitching with f ree-motion. This is in conjunction with the Superior Threads spool stand so it is probably a result of both.

Appreciate your answer. You had already sent this to me personally, and probably to Polly, too. So yes you did reply, but not so everyone could see the message! Barbara
I much prefer the titanium needles, now that I've been using them for some time. Like Bronnie, I find machine quilting to have better results. :)
I will have to try them then. I might be able to get some quilting done soon - within the month? I hope so. Anything which will make my machine quilting better is worth a try. Do you use them for piecing as well, Sandy, or just quilting?

Both, Pat! They're terrific and last lots longer than the regular ones. :)

I've been using titanium needles for a while now and find they last a lot longer and the stitching looks better. Although I don't have topstitching needles but just titanium versions of regular ball point and sharp needles.
