Hemming with the twin
needle
Use the twin needle to make beatiful
topstitch seams.
Using the twin needle you can add a
professional touch to hems on stretch
fabrics such as T-shirts, knitted articles or
cycling shorts both quickly and easily.
Twin needles are available in different
widths. The traditional width for
topstitching is 4 mm. To prevent the
needle from striking the needle plate, you
must make sure that you select the center
needle position
.
• First fold and iron the width of fabric
desired for the hem.
• Then topstitch the hem from the right
side.
• Finally, cut the protruding hem edge
back to the seam.
Use only a stretch needle when sewing
stretch fabric!

cult fabrics such as ribbed knit-
wear it is advisable to baste the hem before
