■ Attaching the extra spool pin Insert the extra spool pin onto the end of the bobbin winder shaft. Install the second thread spool onto the extra spool pin. 1 Bobbin winder shaft 3 2 Extra spool pin 2 3 Thread spool CAUTION ● When using the twin needle, be sure to attach zigzag foot "J", otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. 1 Turn on the machine. 4 2 Select a stitch. 5 ■ Twin needle threading You should thread each needle separately. Note Models equipped with a needle threader ● You cannot use the needle threader to thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the needle threader may damage the machine. Thread the left needle. 1 Follow the same instructions for threading a single needle (see page 17). Thread the right needle. 2 Thread the right needle in the same way that you threaded the left needle using the thread from the spool on the extra spool pin, but do not pass the thread through the guide above the needle before you pass it through the eye of the right needle. CAUTION ● After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break. ● When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above "2.5" since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break. Start sewing. 6 For details on starting to sew, refer to "Starting sewing" on page 23. X Two lines of stitching are sewn parallel to each other. 3 2 1 1 Left needle thread passes through the needle bar thread guide 2 Right needle thread passes in front of the needle bar thread guide 3 Needle bar thread guide Attach zigzag foot "J". 3 For details on changing the presser foot, refer to "Changing the presser foot" on page 8. Note ● When using the twin needle, the stitches may become bunched together, depending on the types of thread and fabric that are used. If this occurs, increase the stitch length. For details on adjusting the stitch length, refer to "Stitch length dial" on page 12. CAUTION ● When changing the sewing direction, be sure to raise the needle from the fabric, and then raise the presser foot lever and turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. 26
