Operating Instructions 17 Needle/Thread Combination In order to check the needle/thread compatibility, the correct size thread must correspond with the correct size needle. Correct Needle/Thread Combination When sewing, the thread should travel smoothly down the long groove on the front of the needle. Too Thin Thread or too Thick Needle The thread has too much clearance in the groove. Skipped stitches and damage to the thread can occur. Too Thick Thread or too Fine Needle The thread rubs on the edges of the groove and can get jammed. This can break the thread. Needle Summary BERNINA requires needle system 130/705 H.
