SCHMETZ TWIN EMBROIDERY 2MM SIZE 75 PACK OF 1 CARDED

Schmetz Embroidery Twin Pack of 1 Needle (Carded) 2.0MM, NM 75.

Like the Embroidery Needle, the Embroidery Twin Needle has been specially developed for embroidery threads, which are significantly more sensitive than normal sewing yarns. Due to the needle’s wider eye and extended thread groove, the thread runs smoothly in all directions when embroidering decorative stitches, without tearing the thread. This needle is also ideal for thicker yarns.

Thanks to the medium ball points, the needle is particularly kind to the sewing material. This prevents damage to the embroidery thread and sewing material.

The Embroidery Twin Needle can be used on all conventional household sewing machines that have a zigzag function.

Before sewing
Like other household needles, the Embroidery Twin Needle is also inserted into the needle bar: From your perspective, the flat side of the shank points away from you.
The needle plate and sewing foot must have a recess large enough for the needle distance. Therefore, use the zigzag needle plate and a zigzag sewing foot.

Threading the needle
A separate reel of thread is required for each of the two needles. If you do not have a second thread holder, use a bobbin for the second thread and place it onto the reel holder under the reel of thread containing the first thread.
Make sure that the bobbin and reel of thread are unwound in the same direction.
You can use the same color thread for both needles or different colors for decorative effects.
Guide the two threads through your machine's guide elements together as if they were one thread. Then separate the threads and guide one thread through each eye. Some machines have special thread separating tools. In this case, please follow your machine’s special threading instructions.

Please note:
The automatic needle threader does not work with twin needles!

Tip

• Switch on twin mode or use a similar button on your sewing machine (if available) to limit the stitch width. This prevents the needle from accidentally hitting the needle plate and breaking.
• Check the thread tension in advance with a few test stitches. You could use leftover fabric for this. Adjust the thread tension so that the bottom thread runs has a slight zigzag shape along the seam.
• In thicker areas of material, reduce the sewing speed to prevent needle breakage.
• Do not push or pull the fabric when sewing. This can lead to an uneven stitch length and, in the worst case, to needle breakage.
• To achieve a nice, smooth seam, you can use spray starch before sewing or use a water-soluble stabilizer while sewing.
