In general universal needles can be used with any type of fabric, sharps needles should be used with woven fabrics, ballpoint needles should be used with knit fabrics, and stretch needles should be used with fabrics that have stretch. Specialty needles such as denim needles should be used for jeans, leather needles for leather, and embroidery needles for embroidery stitching, and quilting needles for quilt making.
Using the correct sewing machine needles will alleviate a lot of stitching headaches and result in a better stitch quality.
