Sewing with a Twin Needle We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches. Pull out about 10 cm (4 inch) of both threads 3 and put them toward the back of the machine CAUTION under the presser foot. ● Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: X57521-021). Other needles could break and damage the machine. ● When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break. ● Make sure that the needle does not strike 1 Upper thread the presser foot. 2 Lower thread ● Do not sew with bent needles.
