to the material. The same size thread should be used in the

bobbin as on the upper part of the machine for ordinary

sewing. Never use a bent needle or one with a blunt point.

This is the exact length of the needle to be used in

your machine. Comparison with this illustration will

determine whether the needle you have is the

correct one for your machine.
