Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use red needle.
• Fine threads and needles should be used
for sewing fine fabrics.
• In general, use the same thread for both
needle and bobbin.
• Use a blue needle for sewing fine fabrics,
stretch fabrics, tricot and buttonholes to
prevent skipped stitches.
• Use a purple needle for sewing knits, free
quilting and across the hem to prevent
skipped stitches.
• Use a stabilizer or interface to stretch or
fine fabrics to prevent seam puckering.
• Always test the thread and needle size on
a small piece of the same fabric you will
use for actual sewing.
