Why is a newly made quilt warmer than an old one?
Some older quilts were made of cotton or fillings that washed away over the years, so a newer quilt will be warmer. Older quilts could also have been made of fabrics that were made of fewer threads, and therefore become what we call "threadbare" over time.
To re-work older quilts, you can carefully separate the layers, and add new batting, or add a new layer to the old quilt, as new backing.

What is the relation between thread size and needle size?
It is necessary to match the needle to the thickness of the thread you are using. Needles come in all sizes from thick, with large eye, to very thin, and small eye.
American needles are sized from 8 to 19 in an arbitrary numbering system,and paired with the European numbers, for example, 60/8 or 70/10; the larger the number, the larger the needle.
You would choose the needle size based on the fabric weight. Choose a size 60/8 needle for lightweight fabrics similar to georgette or organdy; a 70/10 or 80/12 needle for medium-weight jersey, Lycra, linen, or calf leather; a 90/14 and 100/16 for heavy fabrics like jeans, vinyl, upholstery or canvas; and 110/18 or 120/19 for very heavy fabrics.In addition to choosing the needle size, match the needle point to your fabric, such as sharp, or ball point.
Now make sure you are using the correct size and composition of thread. Thread size is the opposite of needle size, the higher the number, the finer (thinner) the thread.
