Sewing with a Double or Twin Needle 

I have been sewing since 5 and NEVER knew I could do decorative stitches with my double needle! Wow!! So beautiful! I AM VERY INSPIRED!!!

Yes, what Lu Na said. 3 years ago. LOL. Not too much chit chat-hate that. straight and to the point. Many praises. Thank you.

lovely video. very clear and understandable, good camera angles, no superfluous chitchat, good light, ... well done! thanks!

Thanks for a clear, concise and accurate explanation! For basting my hems, I have found that a washable school glue stick works well on many fabrics.

Thank you for this video! It was easy to see what you were doing and you did it at an appropriate speed to follow along. I never knew a twin needle could be used for decorative stitching...how fun!! Well done!!!

I learned SO many skills from this lady’s tutorials. I miss seeing them pop up in my feed.

goodness, I've been using my twin needles for many years, and I didn't know until today; only one thread goes through the final bars, TY for showing this.

Debbie....I must say , you are a great teacher . Very easy to follow you, thank you for all your videos....I was intimidated by the twin needle,but now I can't wait to use mine.....keep up the good work....thanks

Thank you for a great tutorial, very clear photography and concise explanation of each step 😍👍. Never ventured into the realms of using twin needles, I am just getting back into sewing and will definitely be using this for hemming and decoration. Xx

Finally someone that can speak nice and clear

I never knew I could do decorative stitches with a twin needle and I’ve been sewing for over 40yrs. I didn’t think it would clear the sides of the foot. Thank you so much for showing this. Also I bought one of those needle threaders but mostly for putting the needles in. I haven’t been able to get it just right to actually thread the needle. Lol. Thank god my eyes are still good.

What a wonderful easy to watch and listen to video. I don't have a modern sewing machine, just a pair of 50 year old Elna and a cheap Lidl but it has inspired me to have another go at t-shirt hemming!

Thank you for sharing. Finally I got confident to use on my machine too. You are awesome. Looking forward for new ideas & tutorial.

Thank you Deby, I can't wait to use my double needle now, I Littrally can't wait I'm searching through my sewing patterns as i type. THANK YOU X

For safety you can also leave the power on to your machine so you can take advantage of the light, but engage your bobbin winder as this will disengage your needle shaft. If you have small children in the house you can engage the bobbin winder every time you leave your machine or turn it off and not be worried they will start the machine. Even if they turn the machine on the needle shaft will not go up and down.

This video clearly showed how to use the double needle. Nothing was unnecessarily added, the work area could easily be seen. The presenter showed just what was specific to the topic. She spoke clearly at an easily understood rate. I am really impressed. I appreciate this information. Will tell my friends that sew about this site. ( Thank you. )

This was a great instructional video. Quick, to the point, and answered many questions. Thank you!

My newest Brother machine looks very similar to yours and I feared that double needle until now! Thank you so much for this tutorial and lovely decorative stitches!! I will give it a go 😃

Thanks so much for this very helpful video. It has been years since I used the twin needles, and so this has helped me! I appreciate your method of teaching, with clear explanations and easy to see demo of all parts of the process. I love the hem tape your are using. It is a great product! Thanks again.

Great video! I have had the twin needle feature on my machine, and while I consider myself an advanced seamstress, have never used it. It's so clear now! Thank you for the lesson. I look forward to more tips!

Those decorative stitching would be so nice on a collar or cuffs!! Beautiful.

You have the BEST technique videos I have seen! Thank you for sharing this and all that you do!

Thanks for this video. You're a great teacher! I'm excited to tailor some of my t-shirts to make them fit and look better.

Brilliant video! I have used my twin needle a couple of times to shorten hems on my partner's overlong polo's, but it wasn't that great a job. Now I know to use the sticky tape to find the edge, as I found some of the stitching had missed the hem edge on the inside. I do hate sewing without seeing! Also love the idea of using twin needle embroidery. I've never done much with my machine's embroidery as it was not that impressive and I couldn't get the fabric balanced when trying to do repeat rows, so they never quite matched. Looking forward now to embroidering lots of existing clothes :).

As always, your videos are so easy to follow. I like the fusible hem tape.

Thanks so much. Very well done and informative...My mind has exploded with ideas.

Great video. Thank you for the stay tape tip. It looks brilliant.

Many thanks for your video - I have a twin needle and use it on jersey fabrics, but I didn't think of stay-tape before - it will make it much easier to get a neat finish. Nice needle threader too.

Am about to sew my first Jersey and I do want to show the hem at the bottom so you have given me the courage to try my double needle for the first time. Also had needle threaders but just the normal ones had not seen the one you had so now found it and it will be here tonight, a pack of three which means a friend who takes an hour to thread her machine as no needle threader on hers sadly can try one and hopefully means most of her sewing time will be taken up with sewing not needle threading. So thank you x

I have been sewing for many years and have used the twin needle for straight stitching. Never thought about using it for decorative stitches. Will definitely be trying this out. Thank you so much!

Thank you very very much for this tutorial. I benefitted so much.. i was definitely afraid to use the twin needles before.. never knew u could have used it for decorative stitches too.. thank you

Thank you for a very clear and easy to follow tutorial

Thankyou for the clear and thorough instruction and the safety tip pre needle change. I’m now going to have a go!

Debbie, very excellent demo. Greatly appreciated.

Thank you for showing this, I got a twin needle with my machine but the instructions don't explain it like you just have ,luv all your video's

That was so clearly demonstrated. Thanks a lot Debbie. It is a must try

Thank you Deby..I did not have any idea how to use the twin needle..this was so informative.

you made twin needle stitching look so much fun. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing. .! I have always been afraid to use double needles. . Not any more. . Thanks!

Thank you, I enjoyed your tutorial very much. Wasn't aware of the decorative stitches.

Only problem with the stay tape is that the hem doesn't stretch after its done either. I find that often just by taking the bobbin thread and disengaging the tension from it completely will give me a much neater stitch that does not ripple and has a good stretch without breaking threads. Of course every machine is different but this trick works for me.

FABULOUS! Thanks so much for a very informative video .... Not only did you cover everything, but you made it look so simple that is encouraging to someone new to knits & twin needles. I'm sure that years of experience helps to make it appear simple, but you have also blessed us with the knowledge that you will have gained through all your years of trial & error. Thanks again ... I can't wait to try them now! :)

Great video. I am so glad I watched it - did not know to use the fusible tape before this. I am going to make a few t-shirts for my grandsons and I am definitely going to go out and get some of this now. Also going to check and see if my sewing machine will take the double needle.

Great tutorial thankful u said it work by stitching upward most have not explained that

Awezome video! Just what i am looking for! I have a nice general purpose singer machine that can do so much more than what i am doing now. I am making table top items and these techniques will give me a boost! Thank you for showing how easy it really is. Thumbs up!

wish I saw this before I finished my easter dress this would have been a cherry on top. thanks for video

You have a peaceful voice.

The stay tape is a great idea. Thanks great video.

So easy to see and follow tutorial 👍🦋 ; examples of stitches with double needles and stretch fabric was extra info that was so useful too! Thanks !

Excellent tutorial, thank you for the suggestion of using the Knit Stay Tape.

so thankful here for your video! 😍 I LOVE IT! ❤ the procedures were so easy to follow and can easily be understood 😊 you got a new fan here! 😊😊👍 just started using my brother nv55-p and this video made me feel more excited in exploring it more! 😍❤❤ will be watching all your videos and will also wait for your upcoming ones! 😍 God bless you! 😊

Just ran across this little video of yours. Thanks so much for the nice and clear explanation!

VioletGypsie - I already had my bobbin thread pulled up because I had been sewing a regular seam prior to switching to the twin needle. Yes, I think best to pull it through before starting. My machine has a little adapted which I can add onto a peg on the top to give room for a second spool or bobbin. If yours doesn't you might have room to add a regular bobbin on top of your main spool, or in a pinch, pop the spool of thread in a cup and just let it pull through as you sew!

Hi Adilworth04. Glad you found it useful. You can get the needle-threader from Amazon. I've put a link in the video description because its not allowed in comments.

Wow this needle is so amazing, you dont have to double fold the edge. Wow i love it, this is useful too for making babies bloomer or fabric diaper

loved demo: first time to see how it sews on knit so that really helped me; didn't know you could do decorative stitches with twin. needle on stretch fabric too; just saw on another video about presser foot being wide enough to accommodate two needles & not the usual one for single needle (just in case the single presser foot is used before using twin needles).

Thanks for solving the problem of top stitch for knit fabrics

First time I know there's a twin needle that explains how clothes are finished in a proper why thank you your english is slow which helps me to understand it since it is not my first language

This is the 3rd video about twin needles I watched and it’s the first one that actually makes sense to me. Haha. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for telling me to use a wide-mouth foot for decorative stitching. I had tried once & shattered the needles ~ I didn't know there was a foot I could use.

Thank you so much, I really really appreciate this, it’s so very very helpful and useful and, you really really showed us all properly, taken us through everything. xxx Mags stay safe and well too x

I did it! So exciting! Great video, thank you!

Very nice idea for neckline embrodriwork. Thank you.

I love love love your how to videos---I have a request...I saw there are only 2 videos in your serger playlist...will you please please fill that playlist up for me with how to's (ting--sparkly smile)....I also need a playlist for beginner projects for sewists and a playlist for serger and or accessory embellishments ...You are so thorough and wonderful...these would really help me and other new sewists...I have been trying to get more people in my area into sewing and I would love to be able to send them to your channel for all your wonderful instruction and insight :-) Thanks so much for all you do! I am a huge fan of your work...Many blessings! E.

I was wondering how this all worked. Love your needle threader. Going to look for one of those. I was curious why I would need a double needle in my sewing (new to it). Great video. New subbie from Nova Scotia, Canada.

I like your voice and thorough instruction. I think I might be able to do this now.....with practice 😉

For the first time I learnt how to use a double needle! Thanks so much! I just missed how to use two bobbins below? I will watch again. THANK YOU once again.
