Using the Twin Needle Mode
The twin needle can only be used for patterns that
show after being selected. Before you select a
stitch pattern, make sure the stitch can be sewn in
the twin needle mode (refer to the “STITCH
SETTING CHART” on page S-67).
Memo
• When the “Automatic Threading” button is
pressed, the presser foot will be
automatically lowered. After threading is
finished, the presser foot moves back to the
position before the “Automatic Threading”
button was pressed.
Note
• Pulling the loop of thread gently will avoid
needle breakage.
Memo
• If the needle could not be threaded or the
thread was not passed through the needle
bar thread guides, perform the procedure
again starting from step
c.
Then, pass the thread through the eye of
the needle after step
i.
Note
• Some needles cannot be threaded with the
needle threader. In this case, instead of
using the needle threader after passing the
thread through the needle bar thread guide
(marked “6”), manually pass the thread
through the eye of the needle from the front
to the back.
CAUTION
• Twin needle (part code X59296-151) is
recommended for this machine. Contact your
authorized dealer for replacement needles
(size 2.0/11 is recommended).
• 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, it is
recommended to use presser foot “J”.
• When the twin needle is used, bunched
stitches may occur depending on the types of
fabric and thread that are used.
Use monogramming foot “N” for decorative
stitches.
• Before changing the needle or threading the
machine, be sure to press
on the LCD
Screen, otherwise injuries may occur if the
“Start/Stop” button or any other button is
pressed and the machine starts sewing.
