needle should conform with the size of the
thread and both should be suitable to the
fabric. Kenmore needles are color-coded by
size for your convenience (See chart on
next page).
Never use a bent needle or one with a dull
point.

use this illustration to be sure your needle is
the right size. Distance from top of needle to
