What is the relation between thread size and needle size?
It is necessary to match the needle to the thickness of the thread you are using. Needles come in all sizes from thick, with large eye, to very thin, and small eye. American needles are sized from 8 to 19 in an arbitrary numbering system,and paired with the European numbers, for example, 60/8 or 70/10; the larger the number, the larger the needle. You would choose the needle size based on the fabric weight. Choose a size 60/8 needle for lightweight fabrics similar to georgette or organdy; a 70/10 or 80/12 needle for medium-weight jersey, Lycra, linen, or calf leather; a 90/14 and 100/16 for heavy fabrics like jeans, vinyl, upholstery or canvas; and 110/18 or 120/19 for very heavy fabrics.In addition to choosing the needle size, match the needle point to your fabric, such as sharp, or ball point. Now make sure you are using the correct size and composition of thread. Thread size is the opposite of needle size, the higher the number, the finer (thinner) the thread.

What needles are used in sewing?
I assume that you are speaking of a sewing machine needle size. Sewing with cotton etc., you can use the universal 10/70 for most projects. Remember to change the needle often for best results. ADDITIONAL ANSWER: Needles, thread and fabric are project specific. If you are using a light weight fabric a 70/10 Universal needle should work nicely. However, if you're sewing with denim then you would need a "denim needle" or a universal 90/14 to a 100/16. Medium weight fabrics do well with the Universal 80/12 needle and standard sewing thread you can find in any fabric store. If you are sewing on a stretchy fabric then you need needles designed to slide through the fabric without tearing. And, here again, the size of the needle depends on the weight of the stretchy fabric. If you are sewing on leather, you'll need a leather needle.

How do you sew sheer goods on a sewing machine?
Sheer material can be very hard to sew on a sewing machine. Loosen the tension on the machine (you will need to play around with it a bit to find what works best), use a fine ('skinny') needle (size 11-12), use lots of pins to keep the fabric from shifting, and be sure to hold the fabric very taught around the needle to keep it from shrinking up and getting caught in the needle case or bobbin. If it is still difficult, try pinning newspaper in with the fabric, then rip the paper out after you are done sewing. the paper helps keep the fabric in place.
