Sewing With A Twin Needle (Double Needle) - Medion MD 17187 Manual De Instrucciones

6.16.1. Sewing buttons with a shank
In the case of heavy fabrics, a button shank is often needed.
 Place a needle (26) or, for a thicker shank, a matchstick on the button and
then proceed to sew as for a normal button.
 After about 10 stitches, remove the material from the machine.
 Pull the needle (26) or matchstick out of the material.
 Leave the upper thread a little longer and cut the upper thread off.
 Thread the upper thread through the button and wind it a few times
around the shank created, then pass it through to the underside of the fab-
ric and knot it to the lower thread.

6.17. Sewing with a twin needle (double needle)

The twin needle is available from well-stocked specialist retailers. When buy-
ing 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 patterns if you
use different coloured threads when sewing.
NOTICE
Your sewing machine has an automatic stitch width setting; therefore, you can
sew all stitches with a twin needle.
 In other programmes or at a great stitch width the needles can bend or
break. Attach the twin needle in the same way as you would a single nee-
dle (see Page 71).
 Place two equally fully cotton reels on the removable cotton reel hold-
ers (15).
 Make sure that the two felt discs included in the accessories are in place on
the two cotton reel holders (15).
 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 making 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 (1).
 Insert one thread through the eye of the needle on the right-hand side,
and one thread on the left-hand side.
NOTICE
To sew a corner using the twin needle, take the needle out of the fabric, as
otherwise the twin needle may bend or break.
