t Twin needle
A twin needle hem is quick and easy. It is
especially useful for very stretchy fabrics. Be sure
to use a stretch twin needle for knit fabrics.
Turn off the power switch and insert a twin needle.
Thread the machine in the same manner as for
single thread (see page 16), using both spool
pins. Pull one thread down behind each needle
bar thread guide.
Thread each needle from front to back.
Fold the hem up desired amount and topstitch
with the twin needle. Carefully trim away excess
fabric using sharp scissors. This is an excellent
hemming method for knit fabrics because the
bobbin thread zigzags, allowing the hem to stretch
with the fabric.
Remove twin needle. Set up machine for single
needle sewing.
