I use Sewers Aid when I use my twin needle (two needles one shaft) just to make sure there is no mixing it up with the threads in the tension disks.
Wouldn't using one thick thread (embroidery floss)be better than two threads in one eye?

It would be the same as when you use a double or tripple needle; they share the same tension and split off at the needles. If your machine uses double needles check your manual for threading;most machines use them now

It does look interesting, but I don't know if I want to have to rip out two threads at a time when I need to.:)

You get a thicker, smoother effect without bunching,twisting or entanglement.The only problem I have seen is that one of the threads can snap if the tension is not correct but this happens with whatever needle you are sewing with.

hmmm.. I may have to invest in this, might be a good way to stitch in the ditch for the quilts I make for the grands when they want 2 colors, instead of doing it over again. hmmm .. interesting for sure
