Sewing with a twin needle
The twin needle is available from well-stocked specialist retailers.
When buying a twin needle, make sure that the distance between
the two needles is no more than 4 mm.
The twin needle can be used to create attractive, two-coloured
patterns if you use different coloured threads when sewing.
