NEEDLE AND THREAD SELECTION

The selection of thread should be based on the fabric to be stitched. The thread should blend with

the fabric in colour, fibre and size.

Silk and wool fabrics should be stitched with silk thread; cotton fabrics should be stitched with cotton

or cotton mercerised thread, etc. The thread must be of a size that will imbed itself into the texture of the

fabric. Thread that is too heavy for the fabric will remain on the surface and become weakened by
friction and abrasion.

The selection of the needle should be based on both the fabric and thread being used. The eye of the

needle must be large enough for the thread to pass freely through it. The blade of the needle must be fine
enough not to mar the fabric with too large a puncture, yet heavy enough to pierce the fabric without

binding or deflecting.

You will obtain best stitching results from your Sewing Machine if it is fitted with a SINGERS' Needle.
