Is the needle used in sewing as same as the needle used in cross stitch?
Not as a general rule. When sewing, I usually use a 'sharp' needle . . . that is, a needle with a sharp point. When doing cross stitch, ( depending on the fabric of the cross stitch piece ) I use a ball point needle. If the fabric is an even-weave, like aida cloth, I use a chenille needle. You also want to make sure the eye is large enough to thread 2 to 3 strands of embroidery floss. If a regular sewing needle is all you have, then by all means use it. But as inexpensive as needles are . . . I suggest buying the size you need. NOTE: When threading a needle, if you have difficulty getting the thread(s) into the eye, turn the needle over and thread it from the other side. The eye's are stamped into a needle, and therefore it is larger at one side than the other.

Can you sew a serge stitch in a regular sewing machine?
Some machines offer a serger stitch; check the manual to see if yours does. The stitch is basically just a zigzag stitch, so it's like a real serging stitch's pathetic, more time consuming cousin. I use it for simple things if I have to, but my advice would be not to rely on it for any large project.
What are the instructions for knotting a quilt?
I have quilted with the Mormon quilting ladies and they use a knotless method. Insert threaded(with yarn) needle from top of quilt. Pull through leaving a fairly long tail on top. Complete stitch by bringing needle up through quilt making sure that you pull all the yarn back up or you wind up with a mess on the back. Then restitch using the same holes that you just made. The theory is( and I have never had one pull out) that the yarn fibers will mesh together and keep your stitch in place. Then cut off leaving a fairly long tail or just go on to the next place you want to stitch and cut in between stitches after you are done.
