thread through the presser foot, and then pull

out about 5 cm (2 inches) of thread toward the

rear of the machine.

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, the extra

spool pin and the spool cap.

For details on the stitches that can be sewn with the

twin needle, refer to “Stitch Settings” (page 138).

CAUTION

Install the twin needle.

• For details on installing a needle, refer to

“Replacing the needle” (page 39).

Thread the upper thread for the left needle

eye.

• For details, refer to steps

a through l of

“Threading the upper thread” (page 28).

Manually thread the left needle with the upper

thread.

Pass the thread through the eye of the needle

from the front.

• The needle threader cannot be used with the

twin needle. If the needle threader is used

with the twin needle, the sewing machine

may be damaged.

●

Do not touch the (“Start/Stop” button),

(“Needle Position” button) or

(“Reverse/Reinforcement Stitch”

button). If one of the buttons is accidentally

pressed, the machine will begin sewing and

your finger may be pricked with the needle

or the needle may break.

● Only use the twin needle (part code:

easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
