High-quality Groz-Beckert longarm needles are specifically made for longarm quilting machine use.
The FG (ball point) point style needles have a rounded tip designed to easily penetrate fabric with less damage then a sharper point. This can be preferable when quilting through tightly woven fabrics, batiks, knits, and t-shirts.
The R (sharp) point style needles are for general quilting using typical quilt fabrics and an array of thread types.
How often should you change your needle? Every quilt deserves a new needle! Needles are relatively inexpensive and a new needle goes a long way in ensuring the best quilting results.
So what size needle should you be using? The needle size correlates to the weight of your thread. That thicker the thread, the larger the needle size.
