I bought some universal 65/9 needles. After a search I finally found someone else who had had this problem on Reddit. A commenter suggested lengthening the stitch, as well. These two changes made a big difference, so I can proceed with my project. 👍🏾

I bought some Microtex 70/10 needles, but my test seam shows mini-snags along the seam on the right side. Should I be using something else?
