You use two reels of thread and thread both through the same areas until you get to the thread guides just above the needles. there is usually a thread guide on the left and the right for this purpose. Put one thread through the right guide and into the right needle and one in the left guide and thread the left needle. The bobbin thread zig zags between the two needles. Make sure that there is enough room for the twin needles to work without hitting the needle plate by turning the hand wheel slowly through the whole sequence of the stitch. If it bumps the plate, adjust the width of the stitch.If you do pin tucks you usually have a pin - tuck attachment to make the ridges of material stick up so you can sew either side with the double needle.
