Twin Needle Sewing

Your sewing machine is designed for twin needle sewing, which allows you to sew with two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches. Any of the patterns, except the buttonhole pattern, can be sewn with the twin needle. When using the Straight Stitch, the Stitch Width Dial should be set so that the needle is in the center position (between 2 and 3). However, when other patterns are used, set the Stitch Width Dial between 0 and 3. See page 11 for details on adjusting the Stitch Width Dial.

CAUTION:

When sewing with the twin needle, be sure the Stitch Width Dial is not set above 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.

INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE

Insert in the same way 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.

PLACING THE EXTRA SPOOL PIN

Place the vertical spool pin in the hole found on top of the machine near the horizontal spool pin. Place the second spool of thread onto the vertical spool 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 using the thread from the spool on the extra spool pin. See page 16 for more details.

2.Threading the Left Needle

Thread the left needle in the same manner that 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 below in fig. B.
