Tips on Sewing Different Fabrics
The chart below provides many details but
you'll also want to remember...
* Soft or fine fabrics may require a backing or
interfacing of paper, especially where
stitches are close together.
* When sewing knits use a strong, fine thread
together with "Q NEEDLE"._.
* When working on tweed or other multi-
colored bulky fabrics, use one color thread
in the bobbin, another on the top. (Great
for repairs-the "patch" practically dis-
appears.)
