NEEDLES, THREAD & FABRIC CHART
Needles
Proper needles are important when using your White Superlock. A standard sewing
machine needle of good quality, Organ brand HA X 1SP, can be used on your
Superlock. Change needles often for best results.
Caution: Do not used banded needles (i.e., yellow band) on your White Superlock.
These can cause skipped stitches and possibly bend or break needles or damage
loopers.
Threads
Any good quality cotton, polyester, silk, synthetic threads, etc., can be used on your
Superlock. Wooly Nylon®, a stretchy, yarn-like thread, is recommended in upper
and lower loopers for rolled edge and lingerie sewing.
