MEEDLE, THREAD, FABRIC & STITCHING GUIDE
The correct selection of needle and thread to suit the fabric will result in more satisfactory
stitching. Fine fabrics should be stitched with fine needles, fine thread and short stitches.
For the best results on heavier fabrics, use coarser needles, heavier threads and longer
stitches. Replace the machine needle when it becomes even slightly dull or bent.
