Use the standard needles. The size of your needle should
match the size of the thread and both should match the fabric.
For normal sewing, the same size and type of thread
should be used in the bobbin as on the upper part of the
machine.
Never use a bent or dull needle.
For successful sewing of stretch fabrics use stretch stitch
needles.
