Threading for Twin Needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make sure that
the presser foot and needle are in the up position.
Note: When using large thread cones on the auxiliary spool pin, place
the large spool holder with the flat side up and a cone holder on the spool
pin before adding the thread cone.
1. Raise both spool pins to vertical position. Place a thread
spool on each spool pin.
Using both hands, place the thread from the main spool
pin behind the left clip on the telescopic thread guide (A),
from right to left, and then place the thread from the
auxiliary spool pin behind the right clip on the telescopic
thread guide (B), from right to left.
Note: Do not place the thread from the auxiliary spool pin behind
both clips on the telescopic thread guide, as this will create too much
thread tension.
2. Hold both threads with two hands as illustrated. Floss the
threads under the thread guide (C) from front to back.
Pull the threads together back into and through threading
slot (D).
Note: Continue to hold the threads lightly next to the thread guide
(C) throughout the threading process. This will create a bit of
tension on the threads and ensure that the threads are properly
seated in the threading path.
