Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart
or general sewing, use needle sie 115 or 140.
ne thread and needle should be used for sewing
lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
eavy fabrics require a needle large enough to
pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
lways test the needle sie on a small scrap of the
fabric that will be used for actual sewing.
In general, use the same thread for the needle and
bobbin.
hen sewing stretch fabrics, very ne fabrics and
synthetics, use a blue tip needle. The blue tip needle
effectively prevents skipped stitches.
