   This may be a stupid question, but what is a G needle?? General? I've been sewing for 60 years and never remember hearing that term.

   If you use a walking foot/even feed foot that also prevents the layers from shifting.

   Hi, I think Angela means a Jean needle. I've been watching her for 5 years and she is good but she talks too fast sometimes.

   I watch Angela every Sat on PBS. It's Sew Easy. She does speak rapidly but she knows her stuff! I heard reference to needle as Gene 14

   I heard Jeans needle - I use them a lot in quilting, or a top stitch needle. These are both wonderfully versatile needles as they can take thicker thread, as well as regular and fine thread.
   A tip I picked up when sewing leather was to increase your stitch length a little to 3.0.
   Not all machines have the capability to adjust the presser foot tension, but I am used to a Pfaff with an even-feed so that helps.

   I use a Schmetz denim jean needle #14 - sorry you didn't catch that. I'll try to slow it down, I just don't want you to fall asleep :)
