Twin Needle Sewing
Some of the utility stitches and decorative stitches can be
sewn with a twin needle.
Replace the needle with the twin needle supplied with the
standard accessories.
CAUTION:
Turn the power switch off or press the lockout key
before changing the needle.
Do not use twin needles other than the one included
in the standard accessories, otherwise the needle
may hit the needle plate, foot or hook and break.

needle and presser foot then turn the fabric.
• Use the thread cutter on face cover plate when
cutting threads.
