Threading for Twin Needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make sure that
the presser foot is raised and the needle is in its highest
position.
1. Thread the first thread as described in Threading the
Machine, page 15.
2. Thread the needle eye by hand from front to back.
3. Insert the auxiliary spool pin and slide on a felt pad. Place
the second thread on the spool pin.
4. Bring thread to the left and pull thread into the thread
guide (A) from back to front.
5. Thread the second thread the same way as the first.
6. Make sure that one thread is inside the needle thread
guide and the other one outside.
7. Thread needle eye by hand from front to back.
Note: Twin needle is not included with the machine.
Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty threads, like
metallics, can cause increased tension on the thread. Reducing the tension
will prevent needle breakage.
Note: When using a twin needle, the stitch width might need to be
reduced to prevent damage to the twin needle, needle plate or presser foot.
How much you need to reduce it depends on the stitch position, the stitch
width and/or the size of the twin needle.
Note: Do not use asymmetrical twin needles, since they may damage
your sewing machine.
