needle-fabric combinations

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

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. Refer to the Fabric,

Thread and Needle Table, page 8.
