■Twin needle threading

You should thread each needle separately.

Note

Models equipped with a needle threader ● You cannot use the needle threader to

thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the needle threader may damage the machine.

1 Thread the left needle.

Follow the same instructions for threading a single needle (see page 15).

2 Thread the right needle.

Thread the right needle in the same way that you threaded the left needle using the thread from the spool on the extra spool pin, but do not pass the thread through the guide above the needle before you pass it through the eye of the right needle.

For details on changing the presser foot, refer to “Changing the presser foot” on page 8.

CAUTION

●When using the twin needle, be sure to attach zigzag foot “J”, otherwise the

needle may break or the machine may bedamaged.24Turn on the machine.

CAUTION

●Do not turn on the machine while pressing down the foot controller. The machine may start unexpectedly and cause personal injury or damage to the machine.

5Select a stitch.

CAUTION

●After selecting a stitch, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

●The twin needle should only be used with the Straight Stitch (Center Needle Position) and the Zigzag Stitch (1.5 mm (1/16 inch) width). Do not use the twin needle with any other stitches.
