Wing Needle/Double Wing Needle

Single Wing Needle

Insert Wing needle. If available, engage the Wing Needle Limitation

function or Security Program (Wing needle option). This alters the stitch

width so that the “wings” of the needle will not hit the presser foot; also

constrains stitches to the center needle position.

Position lace on top of organdy. Select pin stitch or blanket stitch (if not

available, select a narrow zigzag stitch with SW = 2mm). Stitch along

one edge of lace, engaging the Mirror Image function if necessary and

available. Sew along remaining edge, again engaging Mirror Image –

or turning fabric – as needed. Carefully trim fabric from under lace.

Frame lace insertion with three of the stitches suggested in the chart.

Double Wing Needle

Insert Double Wing needle. Select straight stitch. Engage Double Wing

Needle Limitation/Security function if available. Adjust stitch length

to 3mm. Stitch across the fabric on the bias (diagonal). At end, carefully

pivot and sew back along first line of stitching, with “wing” portion of

Double needle entering holes created by the first line of stitching.

Frame center row with two additional lines of stitching:

- 1st row - blindstitch - sew in one direction, pivot, and stitch back

to create a “chain” effect

- 2nd row - decorative straight stitch motif, such as a scallop

Carefully remove the stabilizer following the manufacturer’s directions.

Trim and mount the sample.

Wing Needle Tips:

When selecting stitches to

use with a Wing or Double

Wing Needle, look for multi-

motion stitches where the

needle enters the same hole

multiple times.

Stitching on the diagonal

(bias) of the fabric allows

holes created by the Wing

needle to open more easily.

To help support fabric and

stitching, temporarily bond a

layer of heavy, water-soluble

stabilizer to wrong side of

fabric using a temporary

spray adhesive.
