Hi Guys,

Could somebody do a small tutorial on what needle sizes I should be using for which fabrics etc.

I have a no.11 size needle in at the moment and that is what I tend to use.... should I be using other sizes?

Hugs

Caroline

I go by a chart too, but sometimes you may still need to experiment if your thread is breaking, stitches aren't forming correctly, etc... I have an arsenal of topstitching needles, metallics, embroidery, in multiple sizes, etc... so I can play around if I am having problems.
