Fabric, thread and needle table
As a general rule, fine threads and needles are used to sew thin fabrics, thicker threads and needles are used for
heavier fabrics. Always test the thread and needle thickness on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use. Use the same
thread for needle and bobbin. If you sew stretch stitches on fine fabrics or synthetics, use a needle with a blue shaft
(available from specialist retailers). These prevent stitches from being missed.

Useful sewing tips
Sewing thin and lightweight fabrics
Lightweight and thin fabrics can ride up in the machine as these materials are not always fed through the machine
evenly.
− When sewing these kinds of fabrics, lay some embroidery backing (available from specialist shops) or a piece of
tissue paper under the material to prevent irregular infeed.
Sewing elastic and stretch fabrics
It can be easier to work with elastic materials if you sew the pieces of material together first with basting thread or
tacking yarn and then sew them together with small stitches without stretching the material.
Good results can also be obtained if you use special threads for sewing knitwear and stretch stitches.
