I have tried a million different needles and can't figure out what works best on jumbo spandex. Does anyone mind sharing what size and type they use? My Brother machine still skips stitches occasionally and I would love to find one that is sharp enough and strong enough with medium tension. I wish I had not sold my old Kenmore machine :(
