Table of threads and needles
Thin thread and needles are generally used for
thin fabrics, while thicker thread and needles
are used for thicker fabrics. Always try out the
needle and thread on a small piece of the
material.
Use the same quality of thread for top thread
and underthread.
Use ballpoint needles for sewing in stretch
fabric, synthetic fabric and very thin fabric.
These needles with blue tips do not cause
skipped stitches.
When sewing in very thin fabric, put tissue
paper under the fabric to avoid deforming it.
