In general, fine thread and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and
needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece
of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.
Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue
tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn distortion.
