Matching needle/fabric/thread
| FABRICS | THREAD | NEEDLE SIZE | |
| Light weight | Thin cottons, voile, serge, silk, muslin, Qiana, interlocks, cotton knits, tricot, jerseys, crepes, woven polyester, shirt & blouse fabrics. | Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon, polyester or cotton wrapped polyester. | 65/9 - 75/11 |
| Medium weight | Cotton, satin, kettleclote, sailcloth, double knits, lightweight woolens. | Most threads sold are medium size and suitable for these fabrics and needle sizes. | 80/12 |
| Medium weight | Cotton duck, woolen, heavier knits, terrycloth, denims. | Use polyester threads on synthetic materials and cotton on natural woven fabrics for best results. | 90/14 |
| Heavy weight | Canvas, woolens, outdoor tent and quilted fabrics, denims, upholstery material (light to medium). | Always use the same thread on top and bottom. | 100/16 |
- Note: In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, 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.
Use a stabilizer or place a backing for fine or stretchy fabrics, and select the correct presser foot.
It is recommended that a 90/14 needle should be used when embroidering on heavyweight fabrics or stabilizing products (for example, denim, puffy foam, etc.). A 75/11 needle may bend or break, which could result in injury.

Your sewing machine offers excellent stitch quality on a wide range of fabrics from delicate chiffons to multiple layers of denim.
The walking foot equalizes the feeding of the upper and lower layers of fabric and improves the matching of plaids, stripes and stitches. It also helps to prevent uneven feeding of very difficult fabrics.
Using the walking foot. Remove the presser foot holder and attach the walking foot. The lever should be behind the needle clamp screw. Press the walking foot on firmly from behind with your index finger and tighten the screw. (218)
