Twin Needle Sewing
As the name implies, the twin needle results in two
identical parallel rows of stitches – utility or decorative.
CAUTION: Twin needles are available in many different
sizes and widths. Before sewing, always turn the
flywheel to make sure the needles do not hit the foot. If
you use any other stitch besides the straight stitch, you
will need to limit the stitch width to 3.0 mm or less.
Turn OFF the power switch and insert a twin needle.
Insert the spool stand and additional spool pin. Place the
spool pin felt and second spool on additional spool pin.
See page 18.
Threading the Machine
qeThread 1 through 3 in the same manner as single
thread. See page 20.
r Draw the threads down and slide them through the
right side of the lower thread guide.
t Slide one of the threads through the needle bar
thread guide on the left and the other one on the
right.
y Thread the needles from front to back.
NOTE: The needle threader cannot be used with a twin
needle.
Turn ON the power switch.
Twin Needle Hem
A twin needle hem is quick and easy. This is an excellent
hemming method for knit fabrics because the bobbin
thread zigzags, allowing the hem to stretch with the
fabric. Be sure to use a stretch twin needle for knit
fabrics.
Fold the hem up desired amount and topstitch with the
twin needle. Carefully trim away excess fabric using
sharp scissors.
After completing twin needle sewing, turn OFF the power
switch. Remove twin needle. Set up machine for single
needle sewing.
