Which universal needle should I use for making a fleece vest for my daugher. I got 2 kinds of fleece; alpine fleece and licensed fleece (which is much thinner).

Thanks,

According to Sandra Betzina's book "More Fabric Savvy", fleece is not needle particular. She says to use 70/10H, 80/12H, or 75/11 HS. I usually use a 75 stretch needle.
good luck with your projects!

I used a universal 80 to sew up my fleece pullover and that worked fine.
