Fabric, thread and needle table
As a general rule, fi ne threads and needles are used to sew thin fabrics, thicker threads and needles are used for
heavier fabrics. Always test the thread and needle thickness on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use. Use the
same thread for needle and bobbin. If you sew stretch stitches on fi ne fabrics or synthetics, use a needle with a
blue shaft (available from specialist retailers). These prevent stitches from being missed.
