Twin Needle Sewing Effects
To use a twin needle in the machine,
remove the single needle, and insert the
twin needle into clamp with the flat side
to the back. (Fig. 120)
Threading of the machine when using a twin
needle
is
the
same
as
normal
with
these
exceptions: (Page 9)
1.
Place thread, matching or contrasting m
color, on each spool pin. and put spool
caps in place.
2.
Hold both threads together as you follow
through
thread
guides
as
normal,
but
separate the threads at the tension. Pass
one thread through the upper disc and one
thread through the lower disc. (Fig. 121)
3.
Then separate threads through arm thread
guide (Fig. 122)
When using a twin needle only use the middle
needle position (M). Set the zigzag width lever
at 2V2 to prevent needle breakage with a wide
stitch.
Pin
Tucks
^
Narrow tucks, sewn with thread that matches
the fabric, produce subtle decoration on plain
fabrics.
Using
the
twin
needle,
sew
straight
lines on the fabric guiding the edge of the
presser
foot
along
each
successive
tuck
to
make parallel rows. Soft fabrics will be pulled
to form a soft crease. To achieve a tuck on a
fabric,
increase
the
top
tension
slightly.
Heavier
fabrics
will
produce
two
lines
of
straight
stitching.
Attractive
pin
tucks
are
made with the multiple stitch zigzag as well
as with a straight stitch. (Fig. 124)
HINT:
Transparent
tape
makes
straight
lines
easy to sew. Just sew with the presser foot
guiding
along
the
edge
of
the
tape.
When
sewing is completed peel off tape. (Fig.123)

Decorative Tucks or Desiims
Any stitch can be used with the twin needle
for decorative effects. (Fig. 125) Most attrac
tive are the multiple stitch zigzag and blind
hem stitch for fancy tucks. The satin stitch or
tapered
zigzag
designs
in
two
colors
are
effective for creative trims.
Remember to use no more than a 214 zigzag
width for twin needle sewing.
