Needle and thread table (Page 52)
If needle, fabric and thread are matched, your machine will sew smoothly.
An unsuitable needle forces the thread through the fabric instead of
allowing it to glide through smoothly. This results in thread breakage,
damaged sewing thread or the sewing machine skipping stitches.
For safety’s sake, always use original W6 WERTARBEIT needles.

surface such as a sewing machine or on the needle plate of the sewing
machine and check it from all sides.
