I like the look of it. Guess I need to buy a double eye needle so I can try it.

Yes, I've used them on my DSM with great success. You can use them with decorative stitches, just be sure not to set the stitches wider than the clearances of the throat plate opening. It really does make wonderful embellishments on garments, pillows, and I even did free motion quilting with decorative thread. The needles come in different sizes, as well as the spacing between the needles. The back side of the fabric has a sort of zig-zag, or ladder look because of only a single bobbin thread connecting with the two threads in the needles.
I haven't figured out how to upload pictures to show you any of my work, sorry. :oops:

The only doulbe eyed needle I have heard of is for the knitting machine to move stitches from the ribber to the main bed.

My mom has to use double eye needle in her quilting machine. She likes it fine and they last her a long time. She does a lot of quilting. Hope this helps.
