1.6 Needle, Thread, Fabric

In the course of time a needle wears out. Therefore it should be replaced regularly. Only a perfect point
results in a good stitching result. In general it can be said: the thinner the thread, the finer the needle. The
illustrated needles are either standard or optional accessory, depending on the machine.
• Needle sizes 70, 75: for thin fabrics.
• Needle sizes 80, 90: for medium fabrics.
• Needle sizes 100, 110 and 120: for heavy fabrics.
