Superior Threads has an EXCELLENT section of their website dedicated to education. For needle vs thread size, check out this chart. Even if you have a thread that is not theirs, you can compare the type and weight of your thread (which should be listed on the end of the spool) and find a similar thread on the chart, then see what needle is recommended.
