Sample of Twin Needle Sewing
Using Threads that Unwind
Quickly
■ Using the Spool Net
If using transparent nylon monofilament thread,
metallic thread, or other strong thread, place the
included spool net over the spool before using it.
When using specialty threads, threading must be
done manually.
If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match it to
the spool size before placing it over the spool.
Note
• If the key is light gray after selecting
the stitch, the selected stitch cannot be
sewn in the twin needle mode.
CAUTION
• 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.

Memo

on, make sure that 5 cm - 6 cm (approx.
2 inches - 2-1/2 inches) of thread are pulled
out.
• It may be necessary to adjust the thread
tension when using the spool net.
