Sewing With A Twin Needle - Medion MD 11836 Bedienungsanleitung

Sewing with a twin needle

EN-28
The twin needle is available from well-stocked specialist retailers.
When buying a twin needle, make sure that the distance between
the two needles is no more than 2.5 mm.
The twin needle can be used to create attractive, two-coloured pat-
terns if you use different coloured threads when sewing.
TIP
Only use the straight stitch or the zigzag stitch with the twin needle.
Set the stitch width to a maximum position of 3.
Applying other stitch types or using a higher stitch width could
cause the needles to bend or break.
• Attach the twin needle in the same way as you would a single
needle (see page 30).
• Place two equally full cotton reels on the removable cotton reel
holders (7).
• Make sure that the two felt discs included in the accessories are
in place on the two cotton reel holders (7).
• Pass the two threads through the thread holder in the same way
as for a single thread.
• Guide both threads through the upper thread tension discs ma-
king sure that one thread goes to the right of the central disc and
the second thread goes to the left of the disc.
• Insert both threads in the thread guide.
• Insert one thread through the eye of the needle on the right-
hand side, and one thread on the left-hand side.
NOTE
To sew a corner using the twin needle, take the needle out of the
fabric, as otherwise the twin needle may bend or break.
