SINGER 1050 - Manual (Page 14)

To select the correct needle and thread for your fabric, first
refer to the Fabric Weight Table to determine the weight and
type of the material you are using.
Next refer to the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table.
Find the fabric you are using in Type of Fabric column at left.
(Silk, rayon, etc.) Then locate the fabric weight column (filmy,
sheer, etc.) for your fabric at top of table. Read across from
Type of Fabric column to correct weight of fabric column.
There, the correct thread and needle choice for your fabric
will be found.
Example: If you are sewing a medium weight wool, find wool
in Type of Fabric column. Read across to Medium (weight)
column and you will see that a medium silk or mercerized
thread and a size 2020-14 needle are to be used.
