finish, demand special attention in sewing.

Techniques used in stitching and handling,

and choice of machine accessories, will vary

with the fabric. Let the table below guide your

selection. Refer to page 34, for instructions

on sewing knit and stretch fabrics. Thread

usage information is tabulated on page 7.
