Selecting the needle

backwards and push it up as far as possible.

Before inserting the needle, check it by placing it on a flat surface such as the
needle plate.
7.3 Needle and thread table
Good sewing begins with the correct selection of a needle that suits the material
to be sewn. The table below helps in this regard.
Take note of the following basic principles when selecting materials:
•
Needle and thread must match the fabric that is to be sewn.
•
Always use thread of the same weight and the same material for the
upper and lower threads.
•
Only use sharp, straight, undamaged and high quality W6 needles for
your sewing.
Note
To sew the best pattern, it is necessary to adapt the patterns on a sewing
machine with a stitch width of 6 mm to the fabrics to be sewn with regard to
stitch width and stitch length. If the stitch width is too wide, the fabric can be
pulled together or even pulled into the needle plate.
