Sewing with the twin needle
We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same
color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches.
For details on the stitches that can be sewn with the twin needle, refer to “STITCH SETTINGS” (page 82).
a
Install the twin needle.
• For details on installing a needle, refer to
“Replacing the needle” (page 32).
b
Thread the upper thread for the left needle.
• For details, refer to steps
a
through
l
of
“Upper threading” (page 25).
c
Manually thread the left needle with the
upper thread.
Pass the thread through the eye of the needle
from the front to the back.
d
Insert the extra spool pin onto the end of the
bobbin winder shaft.

Install the thread spool and thread the upper
thread.
Memo

When setting the thread spool, set it so that
the thread winds off from the front of the

●
Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: 131096-121). Other needles
could break, and damage the machine.
●
Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you.
●
You can not use the needle threader to thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the twin needle by hand,
from front to back. Using the needle threader may damage the machine.
●
When using the twin needle, be sure to select an appropriate stitch, otherwise the needle may break or
the machine may be damaged.
●
Select a stitch width of 5.0 mm (3/16 inch) or less, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may
be damaged.
