5 TRICKY Sewing Techniques Explained (shirring, twin needle, overcast stitch, mock-overlock) 

That last one, combining thread types and mixed stitches, is my favorite. I love the ingenuity.

Thank you for those techniques. I will try them in my upcoming projects.

Thank you for these wonderful tips.

(LInda). thank you Julija, always great information videos. Have a wonderful day!

Particular thanks for the tip about bypassing the needle bar thread guide with one thread when using a twin needle. I've just tried it on a scrap, and it worked nicely. It's much easier than what I might otherwise have tried: buying some S-twist thread for one needle while keeping Z-twist thread in the other needle.

I’ve never seen that elastic thread. Thank you for showing this. I have seen a thin elastic cord which I zigzag across, but it couldn’t be used in a bobbin.

When using a twin needle, I always have to use some kind of wash away stabilizer, and you have to make sure to catch the hem fabric on the back with both needles or the fabric will tunnel on the top.

Thank you I want to get some elastic thread. How do we put it on the bottom spool??

A bit off topic - which machine is your favorite for sewing garments - woven and knits??

You also need to think about the width of your stitch plate when sewing with twin needles.
