1.3 Needle, Thread, Fabric
Needles will wear down over time. Therefore, the needle should be replaced regularly. Only a perfect point
results in a good stitching result. In general, the thinner the fabric, the finer the needle. The illustrated
needles are either standard or optional accessory, depending on the machine.
• Needle sizes 70, 75: for light-weight fabrics.
• Needle sizes 80, 90: for medium fabrics.
• Needle sizes 100, 110: for heavy fabrics.
