• To check the needle:
To check needle straightness, place the flat side of the
needle onto something flat (a stitch plate, glass etc.) The
gap between the needle and the flat surface should be
consistent.
Never use a blunt needle.
Fabric and Needle Chart
•
Use a needle size of 11/75 or 14/90 for general
sewing work.
•
A fine thread and a fine needle must be used to
sew lightweight fabric to prevent damage to the
fabric.
•
Heavy fabric requires a needle large enough to
pierce the fabric without the needle thread fraying.
•
Always test the needle size on a spare section of
the fabric you will be using for sewing.
•
In general, use the same thread for the needle
and the bobbin.
PLEASE NOTE:
Three no. 14/90 needles are included in the nee-
dle set.
For optimal sewing results, it is recommend using
Organ needles.
