FABRIC, THREAD, NEEDLE AND STITCH LEN 6 TH TABLE
STRAIGHT STITCHING
Uso the chart as a general guide: with the ever Increasing development of
symhetic fibres, all fabrics are not covered. We recommend as a golden rule
to use a synthetic fibre thread to sew synthetic fibre fabrics and natural
fibre thread to stitch natural fibre fabrics. Be sure to use the same size
thread In both needle and bobbin.
