Selecting Thread and Needles

For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90. A

fine thread and needle should be used for sewing

lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will no be marred.

Heavy fabrics requires a needle large enough to the

fabric without fraying the needle thread.

Always test the needle size on a small pierce of fabric, which will be used for actual sewing.

In general, use 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.
