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 hems on fi ne fabrics or synthetics, use a needle with a blue
shaft (available from specialist retailers). These prevent stitches from being missed.

Helpful sewing tips
Sewing thin and lightweight fabrics
With lightweight and thin materials, you can experience wrinkles as these materials are not always fed uniformly.
 When sewing these fabric types, lay a stabiliser (available from specialist retailers) or a piece of tissue paper
under the fabric to prevent irregular feeding.
Sewing elastic fabrics
Elastic materials can be worked more easily if you tack the fabric pieces together beforehand with basting thread/
tacking thread and then sew the material together with small stitches and without stretching.
You can also achieve good results by using special threads for knitwear and elastic stitches.
