SELECTING NEEDLE AND THREAD

style and size of needle for the fabric that will be embroidered.
For help with determining which needle to use, refer to the
Embroidery Quick Reference Chart on page 29.
NEEDLE
1. For light weight woven fabrics, use SINGER® Style 2000,
Size 11/80 needle.
2. For medium to heavier weight woven fabrics, use SINGER®
Style 2000, Size 14/90 needle.
3. For light weight stretch fabrics, use SINGER® Style 2001,
Size 11/80 needle.
4. For medium to heavier weight stretch fabrics, use
SINGER® Style 2001, Size 14/90 needle.
It is possible to substitute SINGER® Style 2020 needles for
the 2000 Style, in either the 11/80 or 14/90 sizes.
It is possible to substitute SINGER® Style 2045 needles for
the 2001 Style, in either the 11/80 or 14/90 sizes.
It is recommended to use SINGER® needles in your SINGER®
embroidery machine.
THREAD
Machine embroidery is most often done using rayon or
polyester thread in the needle.
A lighter weight thread, referred to as bobbinfi ll, is
recommended for the bobbin. This helps create less density on
the back side of the embroidery design.
NOTE: In addition to the correct needle and thread, it is also
important to use the appropriate stabilizer for the fabric to be
embroidered. (See pages 18 and 29 for more information.)
