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.

Press
, and then install the twin
needle (see “CHANGING THE NEEDLE” on
page 33).
b
Thread the machine for the first needle
according to the procedure for threading a
single needle (see “Upper Threading” on page
27).
c
Pass the thread through the needle bar thread
guide, and then manually thread the needle
on the left side.
*
Do not use needle threader when threading a twin needle.

Place the additional spool of thread on the
supplemental spool pin so that the thread
unwinds from the front. Then, slide the spool
cap as far as possible onto the supplemental
spool pin to secure the thread spool.

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”. In case bunched stitches may occur, use the
presser foot “N”.
