Note
G Never use a thread weighted #20 or lower. It may cause machine malfunction.

needle.
I Ball point needle
Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur.
I Transparent nylon thread
Use a 90/14 to 100/16 needle, regardless of the fabric or thread.

G
Using the wrong combination, such as heavyweight fabric like denim with a small needle
(65/9-75/11), may bend or break the needle. The wrong combination may also cause the seam
to be uneven, the fabric to pucker, or the machine to skip stitches.
