* Use the golden needle when sewing on stretch fabrics and fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur.
* Use a needle with a size between 14 and 16 when sewing with transparent nylon thread.
Note
Always follow the above chart when choosing fabric, thread and needle combinations. Failure to
do so could result in uneven stitching, puckered fabric or skipped stitches. Furthermore, use of a
thin needle (size #9-11) on a heavyweight fabric such as denim could cause bent or broken
needles.
