FABRIC, THREAD AND NEEDLE TABLE
Choosing the correct needle and thread for your fabric is of utmost importance. Correct choice
will make the difference in the wear and appearance of your new garment. The Fabric Weight
Table on the previous page, and the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table below are practical guides
to needle and thread selection. Refer to them before starting a sewing project. Be sure to use the
same size and type of thread in both needle and bobbin.
To select the correct needle and thread for your fabric, first refer to the Fabric Weight Table to
determine the weight and type of material you are using.
Next, refer to the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table.
