NOTE:

*In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine 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 fine fabrics and synthetics, use a blue tipped needle. The blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
