Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart

• For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.
• A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing
lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
• Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce
the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
• Always test the needle size 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.
NOTE:
When sewing stretch fabrics, very fine fabrics and
synthetics, use a blue tip needle (Part No. 990311000,
sold separately) or ball point needle (sold separately).
The blue tip needle or ball point needle effectively
prevents skipped stitches.
