Use a long stitch, with heavy thread, and a 16 or 18 size needle. That should do it!

Not as a general rule. When sewing, I usually use a 'sharp' needle . . . that is, a needle with a sharp point. When doing cross stitch, ( depending on the fabric of the cross stitch piece ) I use a ball point needle. If the fabric is an even-weave, like aida cloth, I use a chenille needle. You also want to make sure the eye is large enough to thread 2 to 3 strands of embroidery floss. If a regular sewing needle is all you have, then by all means use it. But as inexpensive as needles are . . . I suggest buying the size you need. NOTE: When threading a needle, if you have difficulty getting the thread(s) into the eye, turn the needle over and thread it from the other side. The eye's are stamped into a needle, and therefore it is larger at one side than the other.
you first start by chain stitching the length of your scarf (desired length). then double crochet all the way across and turn when you reach the end of the chain. double crochet until you think your scarf is wide enough.

Depending on your elastic's thickness and how much fabric you are guiding into the elastic, I would use a standard needle (12) with a stretch stitch on my machine. Kate
Some machines offer a serger stitch; check the manual to see if yours does. The stitch is basically just a zigzag stitch, so it's like a real serging stitch's pathetic, more time consuming cousin. I use it for simple things if I have to, but my advice would be not to rely on it for any large project.
We use Tru-cut in surgery. (I'm a P.A.)
You use size B.use a 7 to 9 mag
I have quilted with the Mormon quilting ladies and they use a knotless method. Insert threaded(with yarn) needle from top of quilt. Pull through leaving a fairly long tail on top. Complete stitch by bringing needle up through quilt making sure that you pull all the yarn back up or you wind up with a mess on the back. Then restitch using the same holes that you just made. The theory is( and I have never had one pull out) that the yarn fibers will mesh together and keep your stitch in place. Then cut off leaving a fairly long tail or just go on to the next place you want to stitch and cut in between stitches after you are done.
# Set pattern indicator to M (zigzag)# Set stitch length to 1 - 4 # Set zigzag width to '0' (zero) # Use straight or zigzag foot # Use straight or zigzag needle plate # Set needle position to 'M'(middle) # Feed dogs UP Good luck!
If you do not have a serger you can use a zig-zag stitch over the edge of the fabric.
