Selection Of Needle
• In general, ne threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker
threads and needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics. Always test thread and
needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.
• Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
• When sewing stretch, very ne fabrics and synthetics, use a BALL POINT needle. The
blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
• When sewing very ne fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent fabric distorting.
