Twin Needle Sewing

sewn with a twin needle.
Replace the needle with the twin needle supplied with the
standard accessories.
CAUTION:
Turn the power switch off or press the lockout key before
changing the needle.
Do not use twin needles other than the one included in
the standard accessories, otherwise the needle may hit
the needle plate, foot or hook and break.
