I've used twin needles with really good success in the past but once I got my little Juki coverstitch I never looked back! I have purchased your coverstitch book some time ago. It's great! ❤

@TheTreegodfather Год назад

A good trick for running two bobbins on the same pin is to set them up to turn in opposite directions.

@chayawitkin6374 7 месяцев назад

Maybe put a felt circle between the bobbins would help?

@PibbleMom297 6 месяцев назад

It's refreshing to find someone who is a proponent of using twin-needles. I've used them for years to hem knits and even sew stretchy seams with a narrow set. It works beautifully and for me, negates the need for a cover stitch machine - they're way too expensive, take up more room and I simply don't need one.

@lolayoder7121 2 месяца назад

THANK YOU so very much! I just shortened a hem on stretch fabric using your tips & techniques and must say it’s the nicest, near factory hem I’ve ever done on my straight-stitch domestic machine. The wash away wonder tape is FANTASTIC!!! Very clear & thorough instructions.

@Thelaststitch 2 месяца назад

Yay, thank you! That makes me so happy to hear, I live for getting comments like this, so nice to hear I've been helpful

@staceyl618 Год назад

This is the absolute best, clearest, and simplest description of using a twin needle for knits that I have found on RU-vid! Thank you Johanna. You are so personable and I really like your style of educating people!

@maxfathi596 3 года назад

The main cause of tunnelling is the bobbin tension pulling the stitches together. You can use wooly nylon thread in the bobbin and just with that you will have improvements. If you are adventurous enough you can lower the bobbin tension on your sewing machine and with some experimentation you should get a perfect stitch with a beautiful zig zag and no thread showing on either side. Make sure to know where to bring back the tension to though!

@julien7935 2 года назад

Thanks Max. I've ordered a duplicate bobbin holder for just this purpose, so that I don't have to keep adjusting it once I've got my bobbin tension right for my stretch fabric. Thanks for suggesting the bobbin tension may help 😉

@christymoore309 Год назад

I watched this video three times before I hemmed my favorite pair of comfy knit pants. Thank you!! Also I found your sense of humor really charming and it helped me relax and have fun. Now my pants won't drag on the ground AND I have found a go-to resource as I take on more complex sewing projects!

@patsystein3276 9 месяцев назад

@sureenmitchell4358 3 года назад

Thank you for a very comprehensive explanation about how to sew knits & the twin needle saga. I feel far more confident now as I have a walking foot which I absolutely adore!

@patriciasmith7604 Год назад

thanks for this tutorial which is so informative. I also want to comment on your personality which is sweet and light and joyful. The world needs more people who can smile and be happy.

@annbourbage820 3 года назад

Thank you. I found that so informative and helpful. I will now return to my abandoned top armoured with your guidance and the necessary tape!

@chickadeeacres3864 7 дней назад

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know that twin needles were for certain stitches. Mine came with my new to me machine and I thought it was for fun appliqué stitches. I used them for a double embroidered line with different coloured threads, and found the stitch that looks like smocking made an interesting decorative pattern. These tips are a bonus!

@debh2634 2 года назад

Such a comprehensive guide - wonderful, thank you. I took notes so I'll have your guide handy when I need it. I'm very grateful to you for your time and effort.

@lindabrown7374 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this super helpful tutorial!! I just used it to shorten and hem the sleeves on my husband's polo shirts. The tips about how to adjust tension and stitch length to reduce tunneling were exactly what I needed!

@janetburkett3496 2 года назад

What a great introduction! I had no idea what double needles were used for and you explained them well. Thanks so much!

Wow. This lady's videos are full of USEFUL information. Thank u so much. I'm sewing for about 5 yrs now and it's only today I learned that putting up the sewing foot while threading the needle makes it easier to thread. 🎉

@sharonsteele-davies5267 2 года назад

Excellent thank you. I have not done a lot of sewing with twin needle and especially on knits this was so helpful and I have a Verona walking foot so excited to try out.

@peggymason7438 2 года назад

Thank you for such a clear tutorial regarding twin needles! I sewed a lot when younger but haven't in about 15 years. I've never had a server or worked much with knits so thus is helpful. I'm glad I found your video.

You are just the BEST! You've got me sewing again after giving up for (6 years!) on ever being able to sew knits after I'd purchased a VERY expensive new sewing machine. I just can't thank you enough for all your excellent videos and books!

@sallysmith6543 10 месяцев назад

Great to see you use a Bernina 1230, I love mine and have had it for many, many years! Going to try this technique again using the walking foot.

Brilliant comprehensive guide! Other videos I've watched on YT were little use. Your sewing machine is much better than mine but thanks to your video I'm tempted to try my twin needle for the first time in 10 years. TY!

@kayspeak2227 4 месяца назад

Me too. So glad to hear that I need not be ashamed to have had twin needles for more than a decade without ever feeling confident enough to use them 😂.

@anndalynnketellapper8296 2 года назад

Thanks for a really informative tutorial. I hemmed a knit shirt for a friend and your instructions helped immensely! I first went to the Bernina site, but yours was the better instructions! Thanks!

@solarwinds- Год назад

Yeah, love the twin needle for jeans. It makes for beautiful and effortless topstitching. Thanks for the tutorial as I've been having issues with tangling. Problem solved!

@geethaparasuram6338 3 года назад

Very informative video. I am planning on sewing more knit fabrics and was eyeing a serger but dont think I will need it as often. Between the twin needle and overcast presser foot I should be able to do most of my range of sewing. Thanks for the great video.

@margaretcameron3949 Год назад

Thank you SO much! A really helpful and well explained video. I’ve been home sewing for almost 60 years and have always avoided jersey/knit/stretch fabrics because I could never get a ‘good’ stitch. The advent of the internet and RU-vid etc has been a life changing experience. I’ve now mastered the stretch stitch using the zigzag stitch on my Janome Memory Craft 4800, but am now about to have a go with a stretch twin needle. Wish me luck! 👍

@rbrown6476 7 месяцев назад

Same here! RU-vid is great for home learning, and for improving 😊

@florencemcfadden648 5 месяцев назад

@carolpatrick3567 3 года назад

Great information, I was taught in the new owner guide classes for my 930, yes we are both old, yet good, that one spool of thread should turn clockwise and the other counter clockwise on the pins, then one thread is fed through the left side of the tension disc and the other thru the right side. Maybe Bernina decided this where not necessary but I use them anyway. You might checkout Wawak for needles, lots of choices. Thanks
