Fabric and Needle Chart

• For general sewing, use red tip needle.
• Fine threads and needles should be used for sewing
fine fabrics.
• In general, use the same thread for both needle and
bobbin.
• Use a blue tip needle for sewing fine fabrics, stretch
fabrics, tricot and buttonholes to prevent skipped
stitches.
• Use a purple tip needle for sewing knits, free quilting
and across the hem to prevent skipped stitches.
• Use a stabilizer or interfacing for stretch or fine fabrics
to prevent seam puckering.
• Always test the thread and needle size on a small
piece of the same fabric you will use for actual sewing.

Using the Straight Stitch Needle Plate

The straight stitch needle plate has three holes where the
needle enters. The straight stitch needle plate is helpful
to hold and support the fabric when the needle pierces
the fabric. Use the straight stitch needle plate for better
results.

It is recommended to use straight stitch needle plate to
select patterns U1 to U3 when sewing straight stitches.

needle plate.
