Cheryl, 90/14 is like using a match stick on a knit we use them only when we are having trouble with caps. We use 75/11 Sharps as standard. They are ok on picque knit as long as you have the right backing. The other day on 185gsm Cotton Colarado or jersey knit I had to switch to 65/10 Balls and slow the machine to 600. Anand Aaron, Can you use that needle on a knit? You always use a sharp to sew metallic, don't you?
