On July 26 Sewbee posted info on the forum that Connecting Threads was having a sale on titanium needles. I hopped on over and got a supply.

I used my first one today...and I really saw a difference!! The machine seemed to sew easier and the stitches were nicer. We will see how long they last...it is supposed to be about 50 hours. I just thought I would thank Sewbee and share my experience with these needles.
