Sewing with the twin needle

We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same

 

color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches.

CAUTION

●Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: 131096-121). Other needles could break, and damage the machine.

●Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you.

●You can not 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.

●When using the twin needle, be sure to select an appropriate stitch, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.

●Select a stitch width of 5.0 mm (3/16 inch) or less, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.
