Note
1. In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, thicker threads and
needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics.
2. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual
sewing.
3. Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
4.
Use a stabilizer or place a backing for fine or stretchy fabrics, and select the correct
presser foot.
5. It is recommended that a 90/14 needle should be used when embroidering on heavyweight
fabrics or stabilizing products (for example, denim, puffy foam, etc.). A 75/11 needle may
bend or break, which could result in injury.
6. For transparent nylon thread, always use needle 90/14 - 100/16. The same thread is
usually used for the bobbin thread and upper threading.
