Make sure you follow the needle, thread, and fabric combinations listed in the table. Using
the wrong combination. For example, using heavyweight fabric such as denim with a small
needle (for example, 65/9 - 75/11) may bend or break the needle. Also, the seam may be
uneven, the fabric may pucker, or the machine may skip stitches.
