Twin Needle Sewing continued...
Procedure
• Turn the machine off.
• Insert the twin needle with the flat side of
shank toward the rear of the machine.
• Thread the machine as you normally would
for single needle stitching, and pass thread
through the left eye of the twin needle.
• Insert a second spool pin into the hole on
the top cover of the machine, as illustrated.
• Thread the machine in the usual way.
• Pass the thread through the remaining
points making certain to omit the thread
guide above the needle and pass thread
through the right eye of needle.
• Draw both threads under the foot and along
with the bobbin thread.
• Slowly lower the needle into the hole in the
needle plate by turning the hand wheel
toward you to make sure the needle clears
the plate.
