HINTS ON SEWING DIFFERENT FABRICS
The chart below provides many details but
you'll also want to remember...
•Soft fabrics may need backing especially
where stitches are close together.
•In sewing knits, if you can't match fabric
and thread exactly, use the strongest fine
thread available and use a Q NEEDLE.
•When working on tweed or other multi
colored bulky fabrics — use one color thread
on bobbin, another on top. (Great for
repairs the "patch" practically dis
appears!)
