Selecting
Needle and Thread
For general
sewing
use needle size 11 or 14o A fine thread
and needle should
be used for sewing
lightweight
fabrics
so the fabric
wilt not be marred.
Heavy fabrics
require a needle large enough
to pierce the fabric
without
fraying
the needle thread.
In the needle set there is one each of size 11, 14, 16, 18 and a blue needle.. Use the blue needle to eliminate
skipped
stitches
when
sewing
knits and synthetic
fabrics.
Special
needles
should
be used on certain
fabrics.
A denim
needle with a sharp tip effectively
pierces
dense
fabrics
such as denim
and canvas.
For topstitching,
a special
topstitching
needle with a larger eye accom-
modates
heavier weight
thread.
Leather
needles
punch
small
holes in leather and suede allowing
the thread
to follow
through
the hole_
Check your needles
frequently
for rough or blunt tips° Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like
fabrics
are permanent
and are often caused
by damaged
needles.
Always
purchase
a good quality thread.
It should
be strong,
smooth
and consistent
in thickness°
