Twin Needle Hem

A twin needle hem is quick and easy. It is particularly
useful for especially stretchy fabrics. Be sure to use
a stretch twin needle for knit fabrics.

Turn off power/light switch and insert twin needle.

CAUTION: Do not operate Automatic Top
Threading when a twin needle is inserted.

CAUTION: Twin Needle must be removed before
winding a bobbin.

Threading the Machine

Manually thread 1

st

spool and thread left needle from

front to back.

Open bobbin winding shaft cover and insert bobbin
winder shaft. Place additional spool pin on bobbin
winder shaft and place 2

nd

spool so thread pulls off of

it in the opposite direction of 1

st

spool.

Manually thread 2

nd

spool, bypassing last two thread

guides. Thread right needle from front to back.

NOTE: If handwheel is turned with presser foot
raised, the crossbar may touch the presser foot.
Lower presser foot.

NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used with twin
needle.

Set stitch length to 3.0. Fold the hem up desired
amount and topstitch with twin needle. Using sharp
scissors, carefully trim away excess fabric. This is an
excellent hemming method for knit fabrics because
the bobbin thread zigzags, allowing the hem to
stretch with the fabric.

CAUTION: Do not use the Auto Thread Cutting
system when sewing with a twin needle.
