TWIN-NEEDLE STITCHING
The twin-needle simultaneously produces
two parallel, closely spaced lines of decora­
tive stitching. You can stitch with either one or
two colors of thread.___________________
• stitch: stitch desired
• Stitch length: programmed or to suit application
or fabric
• Stitch width: programmed or to suit application
or fabric
• General purpose foot or special purpose foot
• General purpose needle plate
CAUTION: Always activate the twin-needle
symbol before doing twin-needle sewing. Twin-
needle reduces stitch width to suit the double
needle. Unless this symbol is activated, needle
breakage will result. Your machine has a
special safety feature to avoid accidental ac­
tivation, there is a longer delay (3/4 second)
than any other symbol. Upon completion of your
twin-needle sewing, touch the twin-needle sym­
bol again and wait for the beep which iets you
know it has been disengaged.
Tension Separator
Step 1. Thread machine with first thread
in usual manner, making certain
it passes into tension disc on
right of tension separator. •
• Since a bobbin cannot be filled
after a twin-needle is inserted,
it is wise to keep an extra
wound bobbin on hand for
replacement.
Step 2. Unthread needle and remove It
from machine.
• Insert twin-needle.
• Pass first thread through right
eye of needle.
