NEEDLE, THREAD AND FABRIC CHART
Your fabric will determine the choice of a needle and thread.
The following table is a practical guide to needle and thread
selection. Always refer to it before a new sewing project. For
general sewing, the same size and type of thread is used in
the bobbin as in the needle.
