12.1. Fabric, thread and needle table
As a general rule, fine threads and needles are used to sew thin fabrics, thicker threads and needles are used for heav-
ier fabrics. Always test the thread and needle thickness on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use. Use the same thread
for needle and bobbin. If you sew stretch stitches on fine fabrics or synthetics, use a needle with a blue shaft (available
from specialist retailers). These prevent stitches from being missed.
