I'm (re)learning to use my mom's sewing machine.
It's sometimes convenient to know how to sew a hem to pants.

And I'm also tempted to make a few pouches/pockets for backpacking.
So I'm currently looking at fabric, web, thread etc... suppliers.
Fabric will be cordura, 1000D or 420D, according to usage.
And for those fabrics, the recommended thread seems to be #69. And to use #69 thread, I should use a size 22 needle on my sewing machine.

Now comes THE question :
what's a size 22 needle in the french (and european ??) 130/705 system, used here to define our needles on household sewing machines ??? confused

Anybody gets an idea ??
