Tip: Selecting a needle suitable for the thread
Pass the thread to be used through the eye of the
needle, and then hold both ends of the thread to give
the thread slack so that the needle slides along it, as
shown.
If the needle does not catch, the needle and thread are a
good combination.
Since a needle that is too thick for the thickness of the
thread will result in poor-quality stitching, select the
needle with the smallest number possible, which will
not catch on the thread.
If the needle frequently catches on the thread or does
not slide along it, stitching of poor quality will be
produced. In this case, select a needle with a different
number or a different type of thread.
