FAQs & Troubleshooting |
How do I thread my machine for use with the twin needle option?
Depending on your machine, you have twin needle as an optional accessory.
Your sewing machine is designed for twin-needle sewing which allows you to sew using two upper threads.
You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for decorative stitches.
Twinneedle sewing works well with these stitches: the Straight Stitch and the Zigzag Stitch.(See note1).
Be sure that the two upper threads used for threading the twin needle have the same weight.
If the threads do not have the same weight, the stitching may not be consistent.
INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE
Insert the twin needle in the same way that a single needle is inserted.(See note2)
The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.
TWIN NEEDLE THREADING
Each needle should be threaded separately.
Right needle thread passes through this guide. Left needle thread passes in front of this guide. |
NOTE1:
If your machine has the pattern selection dial, set the dial to the Straight Stitch(6-10) or the Zigzag Stitch(2).
