Fabric and Needle Chart

• For general sewing, use needle size

#11/75 or #14/90.

• Fine threads and needles should be used

for sewing fine fabrics.

• In general, use the same thread for both

needle and bobbin.

• Use a blue needle for sewing fine fabrics,

stretch fabrics and buttonholes to prevent

skipped stitches.

• Use a purple needle for sewing thick

fabrics, denims and across the hem to

prevent skipped stitches.

• Use a stabilizer or interface to stretch or

fine fabrics to prevent seam puckering.

• Always test the thread and needle size on

a small piece of the same fabric you will

use for actual sewing.

For embroidery:

• In general, use a blue needle

• Use a red needle for dense stitch embroidery.
