NOTES
When you sew patterns with the twin needle, press
the twin needle button . Test the stitch width on
every stitch pattern selected by moving the needles
with the handwheel with your hand.
Use the General purpose foot A or satin stitch foot
F for twin needle sewing. When selecting threads
to use in twin needles, make note of the needle size
of the double needle. Finer needle sizes need finer
weight threads. Decorative threads can offer some
very attractive double needle work. Always test your
stitch pattern combinations with thread selections.
Never use the automatic thread cutter with a twin
needle in the machine.

from the spools and pass them through the points

Make sure that the two strands of thread do not get
tangled or twisted.
Slip one of the threads in the needle bar thread
guide on the left, and the other on the right.

Twin Needle Sewing
Twin straight stitching makes an attractive and
functional hem in knit fabrics.
Decorative stitch patterns sewn with a double needle
add a whole new look to the stitch pattern.
The distance between the needles will affect the
required width setting. Turn off the machine before
changing and inserting double needle.
