Threading For Twin Needle - Viking H|Class 500E User Manual

THREADING FOR TWIN NEEDLE

A twin needle sews two rows of parallel stitches for pin
tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
When using twin-needles, the stitch width should never
be set above the twin needle limitation (see page 21),
regardless of the stitch you have selected. Doing so will
result in broken needles and possible damage to your
machine.
The twin needle is an optional purchase.
Threading the Twin Needle
1. Place a spool on each spool pin. Thread the two threads
as one. Draw one thread through each needle from front
to back.
2. Pull up the bobbin thread as for single needle sewing.
Pull the three threads together under the presser foot to
the back of the machine, leaving a thread end about 6"
(15 cm) long.
Note: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the twin needle.
Helpful Hints:
1. Always activate the Twin Needle Safety (see page 21) prior to
selecting a stitch. This will preclude any possibility of the twin
needle breaking.
2. Turning off the machine returns the machine to normal sewing
mode. Twin Needle is only active when the Twin Needle Safety
button is lit red.
