Hi Sandra,

My husband actually found this info. and I'm not sure where he got it from.  He 
may have got it out of a trade magazine.  I can fax it to you if you like?

  Hi Barbara,
  Would you share the info sheet that specifies backing & needles for fabric 
type with the group?  Or can you tell us where you got  it?  

  There is so much good info that I get from you all-I learn something every 
time I check in.
  Thanks,

    HI Ed!

    so, how do you you know what your getting when you order needles?  For 
example on the melco web site all the ball point needles are listed just as 
that...ball point.  not light ball.  I have an info sheet that tells what type 
of backing and needles to use on different types of fabric.  Almost all suggest 
a "light ball point needle"

    Let me ask you this.  What needle runs best on the amaya...for the majority 
of the fabric that is sewn on...such as pique...fleece... denim..or 
cotton..75/11 ball point I am guessing?  I have had designs with small 
lettering and tried to use a smaller needle to get the lettering look nicer 
(70/10 sharp) and ended up with tons of thread breaks.   Would I have been 
better off with a 70/10 ball point or even a 65/9 ball point?

    Barbara
