Twin Needle Sewing
By using a Twin Needle, two parallel rows of stitching can be sewn at the
same time. A straight stitch using a twin needle sewing creates a sporty
hem on knit wear, a sophisticated top-stitch or a decorative embellish-
ment.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Stitch Width: 0, no width
Stitch Length: 5
Presser Foot: Transparent Satin Foot or Standard Foot
Needle: Twin Needle
Materials:
5” x 5” piece of lightweight woven fabric, with a stabilizer ironed-on
Procedure:
Insert the second spool pin.
Both spools of thread follow the same threading path until they reach
the eye of the needle. Thread each needle separately.
Slowly sew a row of stitching on the right side of the fabric.
Maintain a slow consistent speed to ensure accurate stitching.
Note: When sewing with a stitch that has width (such as a zigzag or
decorative stitch) and the twin needle, never set the width wider 3.0.
Always test that the needle does not hit the foot by turning the hand
wheel.
