Needles
Needles for Machines 95-SO and 95-100 are of Class and Variety
S8 X 1, and are furnished In Sizes 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, IS, 19
and 21.
The size of the needle to be used should be determined by the
size of the thread which must pass freely through the eye of the
needle. Rough or uneven thread, or thread which passes with dif
ficulty through the eye of the needle, will interfere with the
successful use of the machine.
Orders for needles must specify the QUANTITY required, the
SIZE NUMBER, also the CLASS and VARIETY NUMBERS separated by an x.
The following Is an example of an Intelligible order;
"100 No.16, 88 X 1 Needles"
The best stitching results will be obtained by using the
needles furnished by the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
Thread
Left twist thread should be used in the needle,
Either right
or left twist thread can be used in the bobbin.
Fig.8. How to Determine the Twist
Hold the thread as shown above. Turn the thread over toward
you between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand; If left
twist, the strands will wind tighter; If right twist, the strands
will unwind.
