SINGER 6105 - Manual (Page 10)

Choosing the correct needle and thread for your fabric is of utmost importance. Correct choice
will make the difference in the wear and appearance of your new garment. The Fabric Weight
Table on the previous page, and the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table below are practical guides
to needle and thread selection. Refer to them before starting a sewing project. Be sure
to use the same size and type of thread in both needle and bobbin.
To select the correct needle and thread for your fabric, first refer to the Fabric Weight Table
to determine the weight and type of the material you are using.
Next, refer to the Fabric Thread and Needle Table.
