Twin Needle Sewing
By using a Twin Needle, two parallel rows of stitching can be sewn at the same
time. A straight stitch using a twin needle sewing creates a sporty hem on knit
wear, a sophisticated top-stitch or a decorative embellishment.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 3-5
Presser Foot: Special Purpose Foot or General Purpose Foot
Needle: Twin Needle*
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
5” x 5” piece of medium weight fabric, with a stabilizer ironed on
Procedure:
Insert the second spool pin.
Both spools of thread follow the same threading path until they reach
the eye of the needle. Thread each needle separately.
Slowly sew a row of stitching on the right side of the fabric.
Maintain a slow consistent speed to ensure accurate stitching.
Note: When sewing with a stitch that has width (such as a zigzag or
decorative stitch) and the twin needle, always
test that the needle does
not hit the foot, by turning the hand wheel manually.
