IMPORTANT: Match needle size to thread size and weight of fabric.
Please Note:
- In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, and thicker threads 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.
- Use the stabilizer material for fine or stretchy fabrics, and select the correct presser foot.
- The upper thread tension must be set at 2-3 when sewing the lightweight fabrics, like silk and jersey etc.
THREAD
Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon or polyester.
Most threads sold are medium size and suitable for
these fabrics and needle sizes. Use polyester
threads on synthetic materials and cotton on
natural woven fabrics for best results.
Always use the same thread on top and bottom.
