q)Sewing with the twin needle
Insert the new needle, with the flat end towards the rear.
•Pass the thread in, as for normal sewing. The two threads are passed together through the thread guides – as far as the twin needle.
•It is here that the two upper threads are threaded separately.
•Make sure that the stitch width set- ting is no larger than "3" – otherwise the needle will break.
r)Embroidery
• Take off the sew foot
Place the darning plate on top of the zigzag plate, as described in Chapter 8.
Embroidery can only be done free- hand. The material should be clamped in the tambour and moved around the motif as required, while you control the speed of the needle movements with the foot switch.
s)Thread cutter
When you have completed a seam, or if you wish to cut the threads for any other reason:
Simply pull the threads over the sharp blade behind the sew foot to cut the threads off.
