Hemming with the twin needle

Topstitching work can be carried out on

Professional hems on T-shirts, knitwear
and cycling shorts can be sewn quickly
and easily with the twin needle. The twin
needle is available in various widths.
Please ensure that you use the jersey
needle for stretch fabrics!

sired for the hem.
• Topstitch the hem from the face side.
• Cut the protruding hem edge fabric
close to the seam.
Tip: On difficult materials such as
ribbed knitwear it is advisable to baste
the hem before topstitching it.
