Stitdiing
Guide
The correct selection of needle and thread to suit the
fabric will result in more satisfactory stitching. Fine
fabrics should be stitched with fine needles, fine thread
and short stitches.
For best results on heavier fabrics, use coarser needles,
heavier threads and longer stitches. Replace the
machine needle when it becomes even slightly dull or bent.
