Using the Twin Needle Mode
The twin needle can only be used for patterns that show after being selected.
Before you select a stitch pattern, make sure the stitch can be sewn in the twin needle mode (see
page 3-1 “Quick Reference Table”).
CAUTION
• Use only twin needles made for this machine (part code X59296-001). Other needles
could break, resulting in damage.
• Be sure to set the twin needle mode when using the twin needle. Using the twin
needle while the machine is in single needle mode could cause the needle to break,
resulting in damage.
• Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and cause injury.
• When using the twin needle, be sure to use presser foot “J” only. Refer to chart on
page 3-1 through 3-8 for proper presser foot “J”.
1. Turn the main power switch to OFF, and install the
twin needle (see page 1-43 “Changing the Needle”).
2. Do the upper threading. Follow the steps for threading
a single needle for the first threading (see page 1-32
“Upper Threading”).
3. Pass the thread through the needle clamp thread guide
on the needle bar, then thread the needle on the left
side.
CAUTION
The needle threader lever can not be used. Thread the
twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the
needle threader lever may result in damage to the ma-
chine.
