Sewing with a 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: X57521-021). Other needles could break and damage the machine.

●When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.

●Make sure that the needle does not strike the presser foot.

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

●When using the twin needle, make sure you use the zigzag presser foot only.
