Threading the machine for twin needle sewing Place two spools of thread on the spool stand. Draw both threads from the spools and thread them through the points from z to n.

Make sure that the two strands of thread do not get tangled.

Slip one of the threads in the needle bar thread guide on the left, and the other on the right.

Thread the needles from the front to back with your hand.
