Result of Using a Bent Needle
Regular Needle
Woven Fabric
Be sure to check the Fabric, Thread and Nee
dle Table on page 14 before you begin to sew.
The importance of selecting the correct size,
as well as the correct type needle for the
fabric and thread you are using, cannot be
emphasized too greatly.
Correct needle selection is closely related to
stitch quality and appearance. Damaged
fabric is almost always caused by a needle
that is bent, burred, or that is an inappropriate
style for the fabric and thread you are using.
The three types of needles most commonly
used by sewers are the regular, ball point, and
wedge. To obtain good results, the correct
size and type of needle for the fabric and
thread you are using, must be chosen.
