Twin Needle Sewing
As the name implies, the twin needle results in two
identical parallel rows of stitches – utility or
decorative.
The “Twin Needle” key should be pressed whenever
using a twin needle. Be sure to test the stitch
before sewing because twin needles are available in
a variety of widths. The maximum stitch width
available with the “Twin Needle” key activated is 3.0
and that maximum width is based on a standard
2 mm wide twin needle.
Turn OFF the power switch and insert a twin
needle.
