Frequently Asked Questions About Quilting Needles

What size needle do I use for machine quilting?

The best needle size for quilting depends a lot on the weight of your fabric and the thickness of your quilt layers. Generally, it’s a good idea to use a lighter needle for lighter fabrics or thinner layers and a heavier needle for heavy fabrics and thick layers. Many sewers also find that it helps to use a needle one or two sizes larger for quilting than the one used for piecing the quilt. For standard medium-weight quilting cotton, popular choices are sizes 11-12 for piecing and size 14 for quilting.
