SINGER 6106 - Manual (Page 11)

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.
You should follow the recommendations in this instruction book and on the needle package
for correct style and size of needle for different types and weights of fabric.
