Some needles I keep aside for sewing through paper projects, and I use machine quilting needles for some projects. But when I'm piecing cotton, I just keep the needle in there and fail to pay attention to when it was last changed.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25490800.post-86548101396685063122010-11-04T05:03:02.004-07:002010-11-04T05:03:02.004-07:00I'm pretty good about changing needles every 6...I'm pretty good about changing needles every 6-8 hours of sewing for my regular sewing machine. In my longarm I change it every 2 or 3 quilts or so just so I make sure I don't have any issues. I put all my used needles in an old medicine bottle and just throw them in there until it fills up then discard. It keeps accidents from happening.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676582273780780715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25490800.post-91368940243829477482010-11-03T14:38:24.841-07:002010-11-03T14:38:24.841-07:00I am a bad, bad girl.

(I don't always remember) or If it's not a big project then maybe I make it strech out to three or four. I have been sewing for 50 Years and when I was younger I didn't change it as often but then I didn't have as good of a machine as I do now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25490800.post-75783250943545308022010-11-03T14:16:18.881-07:002010-11-03T14:16:18.881-07:00When doing the actual quilting, I only use a needl...When doing the actual quilting, I only use a needle for one quilt. When I'm piecing, I generally change it after a whole quilt or if my stitches start to skip. <br /><br />Fairly often for me - I stock up on needles using half off or other great deals at JoAnns.Angela Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264664659789446452noreply@blogger.com
