I just used mine for the first time, and I've been sewing over 45 yrs......my sister-in-law's mom wanted some pullover blouses shortened, and I cut them off and hemmed them with the double needle, and you couldn't tell they had been altered! Boy was I impressed!

I saw an episode of Sewing with Nancy...she suggests when threading the needles that one thread come off a spool in one direction and the other unwind in the opposite direction. I have played with my double needle but have never tried a hem.

They are really great for hemming knits. Everyone is so impressed that I sewed it twice and the spacing between the rows is perfect.lol Then I show them that it's a double needle. I always use wooly nylon in the bobbin for the stretch.
