Selecting Needle and Fabric

For general sewing, use needle sizes 11 or 14. A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread. In the needle set, there is one each of sizes 11, 14, 16, and 18, and a blue needle.

Use the blue needle to eliminate skipped stitches when sewing knits and synthetic fabrics.

Special needles should be used on certain fabrics. A denim needle with a sharp tip effectively pierces dense fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, a special topstitching needle with a larger eye, accommodates heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in leather and suede, allowing the thread to follow through the hole.

Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine

silks and silk-like fabrics are permanent, and are often caused by damaged needles.

Always purchase a good quality thread. It should be strong, smooth and consistent in thickness.
