I use my twin needle for pintucking and also using 2 different threads with different stitches that come with your machine, there is also a pintucking foot you can use. Just check the with of the foot before use fancy stitches. Ihave a janome 3500 and its max with is 7 but when using twin needles i use a 5 width.

That is curious.
I have a Kenmore that uses a double needle and bobbin goes in at the bottom sideways.
I have a Janome with a top drop down bobbin and the operator's manual says I can use a double needle.
I have used it many times in the old Kenmore, just recently thinking of using it on my Janome but haven't yet.

which are evenly apart for the entire length of the sewing. Embroidery can look more interesting if you put two different colours in the needles. Some twin needles have a wing needle on one side and make interesting hole or hem work.

I also have a double needle with my Bernina machine. Bobbin loads in the front. Nancy's Notions has a great video on how to use the double needle. I have not tried it yet - but saved the info. You should be able to find it on her web site.
