on synthetic materials and cotton

on natural woven fabrics for best

results. Always use the same

thread on top and bottom.

Note:

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

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.
