Matching the needle, fabric and thread

NEEDLE, FABRIC, THREAD SELECTION GUIDE

Important: Match needle size to thread size and weight of fabric.

Please Note:

• In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, and thicker threads are used for sewing heavy fabrics.
• Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.
• Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
• Use the stabilizer material for fine or stretchy fabrics, and select the correct presser foot.
• The upper thread tension must be set at 2-3 when sewing the lightweight fabrics, like silk and jersey etc.

Use the correct presser foot.
