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.

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.

No I have a Janome 6600P and it loads from the top and I can use twin needles if I need to. I did a work shop where we were shown what and how to use it.

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.

I agree with Sadiemae
