Double Needle
"Limitation"
To calculate the maximum
stitch width which can be
stitched by any Double
needle, subtract the width
of the needle from the
maximum stitch width
of your sewing machine.
For example:
5.5mm - 2.0mm = 3.5mm
Double Needle
Threading
Use a supplementary spool
holder and attach a supple-
mentary thread guide to the
machine, if available. Thread
as usual, placing one thread
to the left of the tension disc
and through the eye of the
left needle; thread the other
to the right of the tension
disk and through the eye of
the right needle.
