They rock. Just learned how to use one. Don't think I will sew a hem without one!

You an get a really nice effect when doing fancy stitches.
Also, a great way to do double rows of top stitching ... or a double when quilting.

Did you know you can get triple needles too?

I've had my Janome for years and have yet to use my double needles. even bought more.

i've always been afraid to use mine... that i might pull too hard and break the needle or hit the faceplate.

I forgot I have a double needle. Have never tried it. Thanks!

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!

If you like the double and triple needles you will possibly like the combination wing needles and plain needles set as doubles.

Steady Stiching

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.

Jitkaau ... What is a wing needle?



VanGinney ... another did you know? ... there are doubles with different spacings

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.
