My 401 manual has instructions for double needle stitching. You just use two needles. My 778 came with a twin needle and an extra thread guide for stitching, which I never used or even tried. If I remember correctly, the salesman demo'd it, though.

A couple of questions:

Are those needles widely available?

Any reason a twin needle wouldn't work in a 401?

Would it work with a walking foot?

Is there any reason it wouldn't work if you straddled a seam on a quilt?

Of course, I'm going to try it first on a sample. However, I'm debating going to JoAnns for a needle, since I've long ago lost the one that came with my 778. (Seems like getting dressed and going out eats up 1/2 a day, which I don't want to waste for nothing.) I also don't want to mess up my machine.
