Selecting Needle And Thread - Sears Kenmore 85.12314 Manual De Instrucciones

Selecting Needle and Thread
For general sewing use needle size 11 or 14. A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight
fabrics so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric
without fraying the needle thread
In the needle set there is one each of size 11, 14, 16, 18 and a blue needle. Use the blue needle to eliminate
skipped stitches when sewing knits and synthetic fabrics.
Special needles should be used on certain fabrics.. A denim needle with a sharp tip effectively pierces dense
fabrics such as denim and canvasr For topstitching, a special topstitching needle with a larger eye accommodates
heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in leather and suede allowing the thread to follow through
the hole.
Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are
permanent and are often caused by damaged needles_
Always purchase a good quality thread tt should be strong, smooth and consistent in thickness.
