Twin-Needle Sewing
Your sewing machine is designed for twin-needle sewing which
allows you to sew using two upper threads. You can use the same
color or two different colors of thread for decorative stitches.
Twin-needle sewing works well with these stitches: the Straight
Stitch (6-10)-and the Zigzag Stitch (2). Be sure that the two upper
threads used for threading the twin needle have the same weight.
If the threads do not have the same weight, the stitching may not
be consistent.

Costura con aguja doble
Su máquina de coser ha sido concebida para poder utilizar una aguja
doble y permitir la costura con dos hilos superiores. Puede usar el
mismo color de hilo o dos hilos de colores distintos para puntadas
decorativas. Las costuras con aguja doble dan muy buenos resultados
con las siguientes puntadas: la puntada recta (6-10) y la puntada
zigzag (2). Sin embargo, debe asegurarse de que los dos hilos usados
para enhebrar la aguja doble sean del mismo peso. Si los hilos son de
pesos...

Possible problems and how to correct them.

Locks appear on the surface of the fabric.

NOTE:
The bobbin thread tension has already been adjusted at the
factory for general use. For most sewing applications, no
adjustment is needed.

may not be adjusted adequately with the upper tension control
dial. Therefore, the thread tension must be adjusted according to
the procedure described below.
C Bobbin tension is too loose.
Locks appear on the surface of the fabric.
