■ Attaching the extra spool pin
Insert the extra spool pin onto the end of the bobbin
winder shaft. Install the second thread spool onto
the extra spool pin.
■ Twin needle threading
You should thread each needle separately.
1
Thread the left needle.
Follow the same instructions for threading a
single needle (see page 14).
2
Thread the right needle.
Thread the right needle in the same way that
you threaded the left needle using the thread
from the spool on the extra spool pin, but do not
pass the thread through the guide above the
needle before you pass it through the eye of the
right needle.
1 Left needle thread passes through the needle
bar thread guide
2 Right needle thread passes in front of the needle
bar thread guide

● When using the twin needle, be sure to
attach zigzag foot “J”, otherwise the
needle may break or the machine may be
damaged.
● After selecting a stitch, slowly turn the
handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
the needle hits the presser foot, the
needle may bend or break.
● The twin needle should only be used
with the Straight Stitch (Center Needle
Position) and the Zigzag Stitch (1.5 mm
(1/16 inch) width). Do not use the twin
needle with any other stitches.
