Using the twin needle

With the twin needle, you can sew two parallel lines
of the same stitch with two different threads. Both
upper threads should have the same thickness and
quality. Be sure to use the twin needle, the extra
spool pin and the spool cap.
For details on the stitches that can be sewn with the
twin needle, refer to "Stitch Settings" (page 128).
CAUTION
●
Only use the twin needle (part code:
X59296-051). Use of any other needle
may bend the needle or damage the
machine.
●
Never use bent needles. Bent needles can
easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
