NEEDLE SIZE FABRICS THREAD
9-11 (70-80) Lightweight fabrics-
thin cottons, voile, serge, silk, muslin,
Qiana, interlocks, cotton knits, tricot,
jerseys, crepes, woven polyester,
shirt & blouse fabrics.
Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon,
polyester or cotton wrapped
polyester.
11-14 (80 - 90) Medium weight fabrics-
cotton, satin, kettleclote, sailcloth,
double knits, lightweight woolens.
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.
14 (90) Medium weight fabrics-
cotton duck, woolen, heavier knits,
terrycloth, denims.
16 (100) Heavyweight fabrics-
canvas, woolens, outdoor tent and
quilted fabrics, denims, upholstery
material (light to medium).
18 (110) Heavyweight fabrics-
Heavy woolens, overcoat fabrics,
upholstery fabrics, some leathers
and vinyls.
Heavy duty thread, carpet thread.
Note
1. In general, ne threads and needles are used for sewing ne 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 ne 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.
7. For good quality embroidery designs, recommend to use a 75/11 needle when
embroidering.

Screws
Change the straight stitch plate and tighten
the screws.
The straight stitch plate is recommended
for embroidery mode for better embroidery
quality. It can be also used for straight stitches
in middle needle position in normal sewing
mode.
The particular design of smaller central hole
can give a better support of the fabric during
straight stitch sewing.
Thus, the fabric can be prevented from being
pulled down into bobbin/hook area, especially
in the beginning or end of a seam.
