I have a Bernina and never have used my double needle, but it sure sounds like I should!!
|
I know this is not a clothing site, but I use the twin needle to put hems in knit garments. I serge the edge, turn it up to the hem width and stitch with a 4mm double needle. The stitching will stretch with the knit.

I have Cs Brother and the twin needle works fine with the machine.

Note: Twin needles are ONLY for machines with the bobbin located in the front. Does this mean the bobbin is inserted from the front rather than the top? My machine came with a twin needle, but the bobbin in loaded on top. |
I have the same machine you do and the twin needles do work with it just make sure you use the right foot or else you will bend the needles.

No, cause I have used twin needles before and I had a top loading bobbin.

I am still following this topic with great interest but have to confess I haven't tried my twin needles yet.So many projects and so little time..lol
