I wouldn't recommend sharps or Microtex needles for anything that you're going to stuff, anon. The idea is that the needles pierce the fabric, rather than slipping between the weave, and so when pressure is applied from the stuffing, the stress is then put on the torn fabric rather than between the weave and you're more likely to get large holes and tearing later down the line. A heavier ball-point needle should be fine, like a 90. I always use 75 ball-points for mohair, which is thicker than most faux furs.

Wait, what machine are you using atm?

>the cotton weave I've used for pajama pants
Is it flannel? Another one I'd definitely use ball-point for. One tiny tear in the weave and flannel will fall apart after a few washes (which is a shame because it's a kino textile.)
