Using the 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. Be sure to use the twin needle and the extra
spool pin.
For details on the stitches that can be sewn with the
twin needle, refer to “Stitch Settings” (page 89).
