Just found your video. There's a tip for using bobbins for top threads: I always put them into a cup and let the thread running along the threading path for all machines I am using, i.e. serger, coverstitch, and regular (household) sewing machines. For bobbins as top thread I never use the spooling pin, since I realized the thread doesn't unroll evenly as the bobbins sometimes sticks to the spool pin. If I put the bobbin into a cup or glass, the bobbin moves freely and the thread comes of evenly and so are the stitches.

Wow I’ve been sewing for 1/2 a century I didn’t realize the twin needle works for knit hem finishing. I thought it was only for top stitching. I will be using that on my next t-shirt make over. A tip to keep the threads from tangling is to thread the second thread on the right of the tension disk divider.

Great video! While I've been sewing for years and knew about this, I love how easy you made it for others. The slow-motion on the detail of the needle working, etc. was terrific. You were made to teach! God bless.

@BlueprintDIY Год назад

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾 My family of teachers would be proud to hear that. 😄

@MicheleKire 3 года назад

A twin needle can also be used to create pintucks. Increase the tension slightly so the two rows pull together. A pintuck presser foot helps too but it will work with a regular foot.

Thanks for the tutorial on sewing with a twin needle. With your help, I, too, can now sew using the twin needle method. Bunches and bunches of thank you!!!

@carish1452 3 года назад

You can also get bobbin washers for the bottom of the bobbin you’re using for your second top thread if adjusting the upper tension still isn’t working to reduce tension properly. Both my Brother machines and my Singer came with them. It’s like a flat white Teflon/slick plastic washer, less than 1/16” thick, that helps the bobbin or spool spin more smoothly on the pin. Some machines have them to put in the bottom of the lower bobbin case as well-same function.

The twin needle is great for knits. I have a knit blouse that I made that still needs to be hemmed. However on this one I’m going to give the wide twin needle ago. The first time I used the twin needle I stared at the shirt for a week and was in awe at how great it made the hems look. Great tutorial!

@diamondbrightxxx7531 2 года назад

Wow, you are amazing. I can officially confirm that this is possible on the baby lock joy genuine collection machine. I used a plastic bobbin instead of the plastic thing because my machine did not come with that accessory. It works great, I just have to buy a wider twin needle. Also, I had to increase my length and tension. Yay!

I have had a lot of issues with twin needles. My sewing machine can have twin needle but for some reason there is no introduction about them in the manual. Using twin needle has been very stressful but maybe now I could try again with these tips. I really like to so stretching materials so twin needling is a must and I would really like to master it. Thanks for this tutorial! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm always scared of trying new things in the sewing machine, especially with my mom (the actual owner of said machine) looking at me like I'm about to blow up the whole house, hehe. Your video helped me, not only to clearly understand how to use the twin needle, but also to approach it calmly. Had a few bumps, no problem, just thread again and success!! I'm making a couple t-shirts for my sister and brother-in-law's anniversary, hope they like them. Tnx again.

Fantastic video! 😃 ❤️❤️ The tips you gave were tremendously helpful, and I appreciate you sharing the results of your testing, and after doing the video on the cut-out hoodie where you used it. I'd like to think I'd read the manual on my Singer HD machine before threading the machine, but if I'm being completely honest....yeah, probably not. I think I may have used twin needles back during the stone age 😂 when I was first learning to sew, but I'm not sure I ever understood the utility of them. I also had no idea an extra-wide twin needle was A Thing - that's what I'll definitely use whenever I pull some knits out to sew. I hope you and your family are continuing to stay safe during this upended holiday season, and will look forward to your next video!

I have finally built up enough confidence to actually get a sewing machine. My mother was a wonderful seamstress, same with my grandmother. My grandmother I had to help back out the needle out of her finger twice. I actually owned her singer, it stays in its place. I’m so afraid of that machine. RU-vid has open up a world of wonder to me. I actually think I have enough confidence with all the videos that are out here that I could possibly sew. 🤞🏼😅

Try an empty bobbin on the cotton reel spike underneath a full bobbin so that it is on a narrower part of the cotton reel spike so that it spins more freely

I use bobbins on an old 1960's machine I have. I keep a round piece of felt with a hole in the center on the spindle 1st, then the bobbin to make it flow freely. Also check your plastic bobbin to see if their is a slit or ruff spot on it that is catching the thread preventing it from flowing freely.

@castingmynet6134 5 месяцев назад

I love your video! I used to use a twin needle when I was doing French heirloom sewing on Temple dresses and baby blessing gowns... And, it's been about 15 years since I've used it, but it seems that if you adjust the tension to pull the underside thread tighter, that it's how you achieve pin tucks. I know I used a twin needle for pintucks, I just don't remember what I did to make them. Is there a twin needle that's got a narrower space in between the needles? Because that might be the other way that I achieved the pintucks. I learned this method from Martha Pullen sewing. And it worked wonders! But like I said, it's been a long time! I'm sure it would be easy enough to research it. Thanks again for the video, I have subscribed and I'm going to share it with my daughters!❤
