NOTE:

* In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are used for sewing

heavy fabrics.

Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.

* Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

* When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a blue tipped needle.

The blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
