Twin Needle

With the twin needle, you can sew two parallel lines of the same stitch with two different threads. Both upper threads should have the same thickness and quality.

CAUTION
  • When using the twin needle, it is recommended to use presser foot “J”. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury.
  • Before changing the needle or threading the machine, be sure to touch on the LCD screen to lock all keys and buttons. Otherwise, injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button or any other button is pressed and the machine starts sewing.
IMPORTANT

Only use the twin needle (2/11 needle), and never use the needle threader with the twin needle.
Otherwise, the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.
