Using the twin needle you can add a professional touch to hems on stretch fabrics such as T-shirts, knitted articles or cycling shorts both quickly and easily. Twin needles are available in different widths. The traditional width for topstitching is 4 mm. To prevent the needle from striking the needle plate, you must make sure that you select the center needle position . • First fold and iron the width of fabric desired for the hem. • Then topstitch the hem from the right side. • Finally, cut the protruding hem edge back to the seam. Use only a stretch needle when sewing stretch fabric! Tip: On difficult fabrics such as ribbed knitwear it is advisable to baste the hem before topstitching it. On page 1:11 you will find a description of how to thread the twin needle. 2:11
