Twin Needles - Viking Turissa Operating & Service Manual

Twin needles
Twin needles are used for forming raised seams
as well as for sewing decorative stitches using
two threads. The twin needle is inserted in the
same way as a regular needle.
When using a twin needle you can use any
design on the middle scale of the Program
Selector. Make sure that the zigzag width is
not set for more than 2; otherwise you will
break the needle. Slowlymove the handwheel
for an entire pattern so that you are sure the
needle will not hit the needle plate. Also check
the stitch length to be sure the stitches are
not too close.
Place a spool of thread on each spool pin.
Thread both threads through the upper thread
guides. Bring each thread around the tension
dial with the threads on each side of the tension
plate. Be sure to lock both threads in the tension
spring.
Insert each thread through separate
holes in the take-up lever. Both threads go
through the front thread guide but they sep
arate at the needle thread guides.
