Threading for twin needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make
sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is in its
highest position.
1. Place one thread spool on the spool pin and fit the
appropriately sized spool cap. Insert the auxiliary
spool pin. Slide on a large spool cap and a felt pad.
Place the second thread spool on the auxiliary spool
pin.
2. Pull the threads into the thread guide (A) from front
to back and thread guide (B) from back to front. Pull
both threads between the tension discs (C).
3. Thread down through the right-hand threading slot
and then upwards through the left-hand threading
slot.
4. Bring the threads from the right into the take-up
lever (D) and down in the left-hand threading slot.
Place the threads into the lower thread guide (E).
Place one thread into the slot on the left side of the
needle thread guide (F) and the other thread into the
slot on the right side of the needle thread guide (G).
Make sure that the threads do not become twisted
together.
5. Thread the needles manually.
Note: It may be necessary to reduce the stitch width to
prevent damage to the twin needle, stitch plate or presser foot.
Adjustment will vary depending on the default stitch width
and/or the size of the twin needle.
Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty threads,
like metallics, can cause increased tension on the thread.
Reducing the tension will prevent needle breakage.
