Note:
In
general,
fine
threads
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
stretch
needle.
The
stretch
needle prevents
skipped
stitches.
*
When
sewing
very
light
weight fabric
