For Sunbrella Upholstery fabric, we recommend using a #16-#18 size needle with rounded points to gently push the yarns aside rather than cutting them. Ensure your sewing thread thickness and needle size are compatible (100-110 NM thread paired with a Size #16-#18 needle). For additional guidance on sewing Sunbrella fabric, see our blog "How to Sew with Sunbrella Fabric."
