Sewing preparations
11. Relationship between the needle, thread and fabric, and adjusting the
sewing machine
The quality of the sewing finish will improve if the needle and thread are changed to match the type
of fabric. Follow the directions in the table below.
Use a ball point needle for the sewing alignment of stretch fabric.
Please purchase any needles not included as accessories, after checking they are specifi ed as
home-use sewing machine needles.
Refer to P.30 [Adjusting thread tension] for how to adjust thread tension.
Use the same kind of threads for upper/lower thread.
The higher the needle number is, the needle gets thicker. The higher the thread number is, the thread
gets thinner.
