8. TWIN NEEDLE SEWING
Twin needle sewing produces two parallel lines of closely-spaced decorative
stitching. You can sew with either one or two thread colors.
Your machine is not supplied with
the twin needle or spool pin. These
may be obtained from your local
Singer Sewing Center as optional
accessories.
