LOWER/UPPER THREADING Using the Twin Needle Using the twin needle, you can sew two parallel lines of the same stitch. Although the same bobbin thread is used, interesting patterns can be sewn by threading each needle with a different color of thread. Both upper threads should have the same thickness and quality. The twin needle can only be used with patterns where appears when they are selected. Check the "STITCH SETTING CHART" at the end of this manual for patterns that can be used with the twin needle. CAUTION • Use only twin needles made for this machine (part code X59296-151). Other needles could break, resulting in damage. • Be sure to set the twin needle mode when using the twin needle. Using the twin needle while the machine is in single needle mode could cause the needle to break, resulting in damage. • Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and cause injury. • When using the twin needle, be sure to use presser foot "J".
