Twin-Needle Stitching; Inserting The Twin Needle - Singer 288 Instruction Manual

5. Twin-Needle Stitching

By using a twin needle, you can produce two parallel.
closely spaced decorative lines of stitching simultane-
ously. You can use either one or two colors of thread,
and you can choose either a straight-stitch setting or
any of the pattern discs.
When preparing to do twin-needle stitching, it is rec-

thread you plan to use, for replacement in case the
bobbin should run out of thread.
(Note: When raising bobbin thread, hold both needle
threads.)
