Thanks for sharing. If I could offer just a small safety tip to all. Before you start sewing, just make sure when you insert the twin needle in your sewing, use the handwheel to ensure that the needle doesn’t hit the plate. This is from experience. I did not do that and hit the button to start the machines. The needle came down, hit the plate, broke and hit me in the forehead, but don’t worry I was OK.
That is good information! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you were ok. Now that you mention it, some presser feet are not compatible with double needles either...
Thank you, wow, I'm impressed, as denim is my material of choice. I will also try using two different colors of thread with identical weights. (Or Is that necessary?) I always wondered why my ancient White would hold two spools of thread - suspicions confirmed!
Yes, this would be perfect on denim! And also yes, your thread weights need to be the same, otherwise the larger thread will throw off the tension for the smaller thread. After I finish this video, I realized I had left a few details out. Here’s the link to a part two video:ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html
😅best video…also was curious about back stitching and how to verify proper foot when specialty stitches are done…also would like to see you thread the machine for the twin needles. Thank you thank you
Hi! So glad you liked the video. After I made this one, I realized that I didn't include threading, and another technique I wanted to show, so I made a Part II. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html As far as the proper presser foot, it needs to have a wide opening for the needle. If you still aren't sure, you can hand-crank the hand wheel. and go through the decorative stitch on a scrap, and see if it is gong to hit at any point. But most feet with a wide opening will work!
Yes, I realized I goofed there, so I actually spent today making another one that includes that information! Getting it posted right now, and it should be available in an hour or so.
I've watched several others before yours & by far your video is so much better! More information & better explanation. Thank You for all the great info!🥰
Thank you for the feedback! I want my videos to be helpful and informative. I made a Part II, with more information. Did you see it? if not, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!🙏🏽🥰. I’ve been sewing for many years and now retired and have never used a double needle! I’ve been sewing for my granddaughters and great granddaughters , now I can add a bit more to the projects. 🥰🥰
Thank you! Unfortunately, I do not know the color or the brand, because I had it done in a salon. It’s vanity on my part, but I like to keep them looking good because I do so many close-up videos. 😊
This is great learn a lot about twin needles!!! Great video thank you so much! Your the first one I have hear talking about twin needles!!!Awesome!!!! Subscribed to your Channel 😊
Very informative! Thanks! I would love to see a video on different fabrics. If I go to the store, I can feel the difference of the fabrics, however if I order online I don’t really know what I am getting from the descriptions.
It is nearly impossible to tell from a picture online. I wish more stores would make them up into clothing, as we could see how they hang on the body. After I made this video, i realized I had left a few things out, so I made a part two. It has even more details like how to thread the machine for a double needle, and how to make pin tucks with a double needle.

Thanks for the informative video! I’d never heard of a wing needle, so that was cool. I’m curious what decorative stitch you used with the wing needle.

The great thing is that they are made to go in any domestic machine. At the top, they are exactly the same as any other needle, and they slide into the lot the same way.

Hi Jenni, thrilled to find you. Have never used a double needle and I was thrilled to see just what you can do with it!! One thing I don't know is, how do you thread it ? New sub.
I guess I need to do another video explaining that! You need two spools of thread; but instead of buying two spools, just fill a second bobbin to be your second spool. Thread both threads through your machine as normal, and then put one thread through each needle. Does that make sense?
@@letsgetsewing9587 no. I am so sorry but I can't imagine threading the double needle. I know the first /ordinary part but I am stuck on the second part or maybe I just don't know where to place the 2nd spool of thread. I feel like an idiot. I sure hope you thread it in the future. Thanks so much for all your hard work and help Jenni.
@@KLeonardM Most machines have two spindles for thread. I will try and get a video done. If you turn on your notifications for my channel, you will see when a new one gets posted n
@@letsgetsewing9587 oh my notification is on and I am subscribed. I know what you are saying about the two places for the thread. I am thinking I am making this harder than it is. Thanks Jenni.
No special machines. The double needles have one single top, that goes in just like a regular needle. You either need two spools of the thread, or, you can wind a second bobbin, and use that as a spool. You thread both threads through the machine. I do them separately. Then through the needles. That’s it. Just sew as normal. You may need to loosen your tension a bit, so try it on a scrap first.
That was definitely eye opening!! I've never seen a double needle, haven't been sewing long. I DO LOVE IT THOUGH. FINALLY know what that strange FOOT is for too! That was really bugging me and the BOOK that came with my new sewing machine isn't a lot of help --at all. Thanks for the tutorial. It was VERY helpful.
I am so glad it helped! That’s what I try to do. After I made this video, I realized I had left a few things out, so I made a Part II. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html
Thank you I too am retired I soon will be 80 and I can't believe that but I have never used a double needle did not really know how thanks for explaining to me I. Am anxious to try
After everyone has an opportunity to try the double needle, maybe you can make a video on the triple needle. That should be fun and help those of us who have triple needles, but we are not really sure how to thread it and use it. Thanks!
After I finished this video, I realized I had left that out. 🤦🏻♀️ So I made a Part II. Here’s the link. It is a shorter video with a few more details: ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html

Just today, I made a Part II, which may answer some of your questions. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/pPvtylD1VeA/v-deo.html You can use any decorative stitch, as long as you have a presser foot with a wider opening, so the needles don't hit the foot. I literally just chose the stitches I used in the video at random from my machine. Hope that answers your question!

Also a straight stitch only machine won't accommodate a twin needle as the plate hole is too small.
@@angelar1500 I did not know that. I have never used one.
