* In general, the same thread is used for both needle and bobbin threads.
* Thin thread and needle will be used for light-weight fabrics and thick thread and needle will be used for heavy-
weight materials.
* Check that the combination of needle and thread is OK by trial sewing on the material which will be sewn.
* Knit needle is good for stretchy fabrics (such as knits) and synthetic fabrics.
* Use thread No. 30 - 90.
* When it is difficult to go over an overlapped section, guide the fabric by hand.
* When sewing "quilt patterns", "decorative patterns" or "letters", better finish will be ensured by using a knit needle.
