When should I use a size 90/14 needle?

Size 90/14 needles are ideal for medium to heavyweight fabrics, multiple layers in quilting projects, dense embroidery designs, and heavier knit fabrics. They're stronger than smaller needles and can penetrate thicker materials without bending or breaking.

How many needles come in a package?

Needle packages typically contain multiple needles, though the exact quantity may vary. Contact OSP Machines for specific package contents and pricing information.

Will these needles work for regular piecing and sewing?

While these needles are optimized for free-motion quilting, heavy knits, and dense embroidery, they can be used for general sewing on medium to heavyweight fabrics. For delicate fabrics and standard piecing, a smaller universal needle may produce better results.
