Please use needle DP 17 or 135 17, Nm125 180, the
coarseness of needle should be in accordance with the
nature of materials. If stitching on heavy weight
materials with a slim needle, the needle will be broken
easily. Needle skipping or thread breakage will also
occur. On the contrary, stitch on tightly materials with a
very coarse needle, the materials will be destroyed
because of over-big needle hole, so the needle and
thread should be properly selected.
