Twin-Needle Sewing

Your sewing machine is designed for twin-needle sewing which allows you to sew using two upper threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for decorative stitches. Twin-needle sewing works well with these stitches: the Straight Stitch (6-10)-and the Zigzag Stitch (2). Be sure that the two upper threads used for threading the twin needle have the same weight. If the threads do not have the same weight, the stitching may not be consistent.

INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE

Insert the twin needle in the same way that a single needle is inserted. (Refer to page 6.) The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.

SETTING THE EXTRA SPOOL PIN

Place the extra vertical spool pin in the hole found on the top right-hand side of the machine. Place the second spool of thread on this pin as shown in fig. A.

TWIN NEEDLE THREADING

Each needle should be threaded separately.

1.Threading the Right Needle

Follow the same instructions for single needle threading. See page 15 for more details.

2.Threading the Left Needle

Thread the left needle in the same way as the right needle was threaded, but do not pass the thread through the thread guide above the needle before passing it through the eye of the left needle as shown in fig. B.

b Right needle thread passes through this guide. c Left needle thread passes in front of this guide.

Couture avec l’aiguille jumelée

Cette machine à coudre a été conçue pour pouvoir être utilisée avec une aiguille jumelée, permettant ainsi de coudre avec deux fils supérieurs. Il est possible d’utiliser la même couleur de fil ou deux fils de couleurs différentes pour obtenir des points fantaisie décoratifs. Les coutures à l’aide d’une aiguille jumelée donnent d’excellents résultats avec les points suivants: le point droit (6-10) et le point zigzag (2). S’assurer que les deux fils supérieurs utilisés avec l’aiguille jumelée sont de la même épaisseur. Dans le cas contraire, les points ne seronts pas nécessairement égaux.

MISE EN PLACE DE L’AIGUILLE JUMELEE

Introduire l’aiguille comme pour une aiguille normale (veuillez vous référer à la page 6). Le côté plat de l’aiguille doit être tourné vers l’arrière et l’arrondi doit se situer face à l’utilisateur.

MISE EN PLACE DU PORTE-BOBINE SUPPLEMENTAIRE

Placer le porte-bobine vertical supplémentaire dans l’orifice qui se trouve au-dessus de la machine, du côté droit. Placer la seconde bobine de fil sur cet axe comme le montre la fig. A.

ENFILAGE DE L’AIGUILLE JUMELEE

Chaque aiguille doit être enfilée séparément.

1.Enfilage de l’aiguille de droite

Suivre les mêmes instructions que pour l’enfilage d’une aiguille normale. Voir page 15 pour de plus amples détails.

2.Enfilage de l’aiguille de gauche

Enfiler l’aiguille de gauche de la même manière que l’aiguille de droite mais sans passer le fil par le guide-fils situé au- dessus de l’aiguille. Passer directement le fil par le chas de l’aiguille gauche, comme le montre la fig. B.

b Le fil de l’aiguille droite passe par le guide-fils.

c Le fil de l’aiguille gauche passe devant le guide-fils.
