Sewing machine needles by Schmetz are wellknown and of premium quality.
Use Microtex needles for sewing very fine or densly woven fabrics. The slim acute point allows for accurate stitching in very fine or densly woven materials. The needle can be used to topstitch edges, for example for creating particularly straight stitches on collars or button tape.
When quilting batik fabrics that are typically densly woven, the Microtex needle can achieve particularly precise seams. 
Acute points are more sensitive that rounded or ball points: You should therefore check the needle for damage more frequently and replace it in good time.

TIP: a needle kan work for 8 hours, afterward it is blunt and needs replacing.

That does not mean that you have to exchange the needle after one day. Look at it this way: if you should push the pedal and keep it sewing for 8 hours straight the needle is blunt 
Easiest way is to put a new needle in the machine when starting a new project...
