Description

A double needle sewing machine tension set is a device that  allows you to use two needles and two threads to create parallel rows of stitches on your fabric. It is useful for decorative stitching, hemming, and topstitching. A double needle sewing machine tension set consists of a twin needle, a tension regulator, and a thread guide. The twin needle has two needles attached to a single shank that fits into your sewing machine’s needle holder. The tension regulator controls the amount of thread that passes through the needles, and the thread guide helps to keep the threads separate and prevent tangling.

To use a double needle sewing machine tension set, you need to follow these steps:

Install the twin needle in your machine just like a regular needle. Make sure the flat part of the shank is facing the back and tighten the screw1.

Set your machine to the twin needle stitch setting, which may look like two parallel lines or double needles on your machine2.

Thread your machine with two spools of thread, one for each needle. You can use the same or different colors of thread depending on your preference. You may need to use a second spool holder or a bobbin winder for the second spool.

Pass both threads through the thread guide and the tension regulator. Then, thread each needle separately with one thread each. Make sure the threads do not cross or twist.

Adjust the tension and stitch length according to the type and thickness of your fabric. You may need to increase the tension and decrease the stitch length for thicker fabrics, and vice versa for thinner fabrics34.

Test your stitches on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing on your project. Check if the stitches are even and balanced on both sides of the fabric. If not, you may need to adjust the tension or stitch length until you get the desired result.

Sew with a double needle sewing machine tension set as you would normally do with a single needle. Be careful not to pull or stretch the fabric as you sew, as this may cause tunneling or puckering of the fabric34.

Using a double needle sewing machine tension set can add a professional touch to your sewing projects. It can create beautiful and durable stitches that mimic those of a coverstitch machine. You can use it to sew knit fabrics, denim, leather, polyester, and more34. You can also experiment with different colors and widths of twin needles to create different effects. Have fun sewing with a double needle sewing machine tension set! 😊
