• Sewing machine needles are available in various sizes. Small
needles are suitable for fine/delicate fabrics and large needles for
heavier fabric. The needles supplied are suitable for average fabric
weights. If you would like to sew a particularly heavy or fine fabric,
you should purchase and use a suitable sewing machine needle.
• The needle must always be straight and sharp for problem-free
sewing. Replace the needle if it is bent, blunt or broken.
