Needles
Groz-Beckert needles are the preferred choice for Long-arm quilters who demand long-lasting needles and consistent performance. Groz-Beckert are considered the best sewing and embroidery needles by many throughout the world.
RG - Thin Ball Point with Round Eye
134- San 6 Titanium Needles
These are multi-directional needles with a titanium finish. The slightly-rounded needle, along with the straight point reduces thread breaks, and skipped stitches. Titanium needles last significantly longer than chromium or standard finished needles. The small needle eye also leaves smaller holes in the quilt.
APQS recommends the 134 SAN 11 needles.
Ideal for the following long-arm quilting machines: APQS, Gammill, and Nolting

Remember when you change...
- The needle size or the eye size of the needle, you are changing the tension of the top thread.
- The needle size you are changing the relationship of the needle scarf to the hook point.
- The needle point you are changing the way the needle penetrates the fabric.
This is not just about needles. When you change thread, backing, or even digitizers, you may also affect the balance.
- Using the smallest needle possible often results in the fewest thread and needle breaks.
- Ball Point needles (BP) nudge the fibers of the fabric aside rather than cutting them as sharp points do.
- While Sharp needles can cause holes in knits and loosely woven fabrics, they are a good choice for heavy or tightly woven fabrics or for stitching detail on top of fills.
