Threading the twin needle

A twin needle can be used to make pintucks or
can be used to give your decorative stitches a
dimentional effect.
To thread the twin needle, replace the sewing
needle with a twin needle. Insert the second
spool pin and place one spool of thread on each
of the spool pins. On the vertical spool pin,
place a spool cap and a felt pad underneath the
spool of thread. When threading make sure to
pass one thread to the left and one thread to
the right side of tension disk E.
Continue threading in the usual manner,
making sure the threads do not twist together.
Pull one thread into the right guide and one in the left thread
guide above the needle, and thread the needles.
Note: It is not possible to use the Integrated Needle Threader with a twin needle.
Twin needle Pintucks
Twin needle Pintucks are created by placing a twin needle in your
Pfaff creative 2124. Mark the fi rst line of stitching with a fade
away or wash away fabric pen. Continue to mark lines or use one
of the optional Pfaff Pintuck feet to easily guide your rows where
needed.
Tip: Use the optional pintuck blade and pintuck foot to
accentuate the tucks. See page 6:8 for directions using the
pintuck foot.
Replace the standard sewing needle with a 2.0 mm twin needle.
Set your creative 2124 for normal Straight Stitch (1), stitch
length 2.5 – 3.0, presser foot 2, IDT disengaged. Thread the top
and bobbin with thread matching the color of fabric. Use the
extra spool pin for the second top spool. Remember to place one
top thread in one side of the tension disk and the other thread
on the other side of the tension disk. Sew along the fi rst line of
stitching. Continue until all pintucks are sewn.
