Twin Needle

i have a kenmore sewing machine and i didnt get twin needles but in the book it said i could use them in my machine and it is a front bobbin , i tried to use the twin needles(just make sure you have the correct foot on your machine) just to mess around with and i thought it was difficult to use

Here is Nancy's tutorial on using a twin needle. Interestingly she recommends to have threads going in opposite directions .. I never did that but will try it.

The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned here is that you cannot do curves with the twin needles unless things have changed recently. My Brother QC1000 can use a twin needle. Just found out there are diffent widths which is cool.

Thanks for posting the question on twin needles. My Brother has the same feature just haven't been gutsy enough to try it yet but now with all this wonderful advise and the video {thank-you} I just may have to get brave and give it a try.
