Fabric and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use red needle.
• Fine threads and needles should be used for sewing
ne fabrics.
• In general, use the same thread for both needle and
bobbin.
• Use a blue tip needle for sewing ne fabrics, stretch
fabrics, tricot and buttonholes to prevent skipped
stitches.
• Use a purple tip needle for sewing knits, free quilting
and across the hem to prevent skipped stitches.
• Use a stabilizer or interface to stretch or ne fabrics to
prevent seam puckering.
• Always test the thread and needle size on a small piece
of the same fabric you will use for actual sewing.
NOTE:
1 x twin needle, 2 x blue tip needle (#11/75), 1 x red tip
needle (#14/90) and 1 x purple tip needle (#14/90) are
included in the needle case (Part No. 859856005).
