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. Threading of the machine when using a
twin needle is the same as normal with these exceptions;

1. Place thread, matching or contrasting in color, on each

spool pin.

2. Hold both threads together as you follow through

thread guides as normal, but separate the threads at the
tension. Pass on thread through the left disc and one
thread through the right disc.

3. Then pass threads through arm thread guide.

When using a twin needle, set the stitch width dial at 2 or

less to prevent needle breakage with a wide stitch.

Be sure to use the Middle Needle Position.

Note: Be sure zigzag needle plate and zigzag presser foot

are in place.

DECORATIVE TUCKS OR DESIGNS

effects.

stitch for fancy tucks. The satin stitch or tapered zigzag
designs in two colors are effective for creative trims.

zigzag width for

twin needle sewing.
