needle-fabric combinations
Correct
needle
selection
is
closely
related
to
stitch
quality
and
appearance.
Damaged
fabric
is
almost
always
caused
by
a
needle
that
is
bent,
burred
or
that
is
an
inappropriate
style
for the fabric and thread you are using.
The
three
types
of
needles
most
commonly
used
are
the
regular,
ball
point,
and
wedge.
To
obtain
good
results,
the
correct
size
and
type
of
needle
for
the
fabric
and
thread
you
are
using
must
be
chosen.
Refer
to
the
Fabric,
Thread and Needle Table, page 8.
