I learned SO many skills from this lady’s tutorials. I miss seeing them pop up in my feed.
Thank you for this video! It was easy to see what you were doing and you did it at an appropriate speed to follow along. I never knew a twin needle could be used for decorative stitching...how fun!! Well done!!!
Thanks for a clear, concise and accurate explanation! For basting my hems, I have found that a washable school glue stick works well on many fabrics.
goodness, I've been using my twin needles for many years, and I didn't know until today; only one thread goes through the final bars, TY for showing this.
Finally someone that can speak nice and clear
Debbie....I must say , you are a great teacher . Very easy to follow you, thank you for all your videos....I was intimidated by the twin needle,but now I can't wait to use mine.....keep up the good work....thanks

Can come
Thank you for a great tutorial, very clear photography and concise explanation of each step 😍👍. Never ventured into the realms of using twin needles, I am just getting back into sewing and will definitely be using this for hemming and decoration. Xx
What a wonderful easy to watch and listen to video. I don't have a modern sewing machine, just a pair of 50 year old Elna and a cheap Lidl but it has inspired me to have another go at t-shirt hemming!
Thank you Deby, I can't wait to use my double needle now, I Littrally can't wait I'm searching through my sewing patterns as i type. THANK YOU X
This video clearly showed how to use the double needle. Nothing was unnecessarily added, the work area could easily be seen. The presenter showed just what was specific to the topic. She spoke clearly at an easily understood rate. I am really impressed. I appreciate this information. Will tell my friends that sew about this site. ( Thank you. )
I never knew I could do decorative stitches with a twin needle and I’ve been sewing for over 40yrs. I didn’t think it would clear the sides of the foot. Thank you so much for showing this. Also I bought one of those needle threaders but mostly for putting the needles in. I haven’t been able to get it just right to actually thread the needle. Lol. Thank god my eyes are still good.
Those decorative stitching would be so nice on a collar or cuffs!! Beautiful.
Great video! I have had the twin needle feature on my machine, and while I consider myself an advanced seamstress, have never used it. It's so clear now! Thank you for the lesson. I look forward to more tips!
For safety you can also leave the power on to your machine so you can take advantage of the light, but engage your bobbin winder as this will disengage your needle shaft. If you have small children in the house you can engage the bobbin winder every time you leave your machine or turn it off and not be worried they will start the machine. Even if they turn the machine on the needle shaft will not go up and down.
Great idea! Been sewing for decades never thought of that? Thanks.
Thanks great idea my granddaughter comes over and sometimes she sneaks in my sewing room I always have the power off but you never know they are so smart. I will definitely be doing this from now on.
That is such a clever idea.
👍🏻 thank you
What great tip. Thanks for that 👍
Thank you for sharing. Finally I got confident to use on my machine too.
You are awesome. Looking forward for new ideas & tutorial.
My newest Brother machine looks very similar to yours and I feared that double needle until now! Thank you so much for this tutorial and lovely decorative stitches!! I will give it a go 😃
Thanks so much for this very helpful video. It has been years since I used the twin needles, and so this has helped me! I appreciate your method of teaching, with clear explanations and easy to see demo of all parts of the process. I love the hem tape your are using. It is a great product! Thanks again.
This was a great instructional video. Quick, to the point, and answered many questions. Thank you!
You have the BEST technique videos I have seen! Thank you for sharing this and all that you do!
Thanks for this video. You're a great teacher! I'm excited to tailor some of my t-shirts to make them fit and look better.
Brilliant video! I have used my twin needle a couple of times to shorten hems on my partner's overlong polo's, but it wasn't that great a job. Now I know to use the sticky tape to find the edge, as I found some of the stitching had missed the hem edge on the inside. I do hate sewing without seeing! Also love the idea of using twin needle embroidery. I've never done much with my machine's embroidery as it was not that impressive and I couldn't get the fabric balanced when trying to do repeat rows, so they never quite matched. Looking forward now to embroidering lots of existing clothes :).
Only problem with the stay tape is that the hem doesn't stretch after its done either. I find that often just by taking the bobbin thread and disengaging the tension from it completely will give me a much neater stitch that does not ripple and has a good stretch without breaking threads. Of course every machine is different but this trick works for me.
As always, your videos are so easy to follow. I like the fusible hem tape.
Thanks for solving the problem of top stitch for knit fabrics
Am about to sew my first Jersey and I do want to show the hem at the bottom so you have given me the courage to try my double needle for the first time. Also had needle threaders but just the normal ones had not seen the one you had so now found it and it will be here tonight, a pack of three which means a friend who takes an hour to thread her machine as no needle threader on hers sadly can try one and hopefully means most of her sewing time will be taken up with sewing not needle threading. So thank you x
Debbie, very excellent demo. Greatly appreciated.
I have been sewing for many years and have used the twin needle for straight stitching. Never thought about using it for decorative stitches. Will definitely be trying this out. Thank you so much!
Great video. Thank you for the stay tape tip. It looks brilliant.
Thanks so much. Very well done and informative...My mind has exploded with ideas.
Thank you for a very clear and easy to follow tutorial
Thank you Deby..I did not have any idea how to use the twin needle..this was so informative.
wish I saw this before I finished my easter dress this would have been a cherry on top. thanks for video
Thank you for showing this, I got a twin needle with my machine but the instructions don't explain it like you just have ,luv all your video's
Thank you very very much for this tutorial. I benefitted so much.. i was definitely afraid to use the twin needles before.. never knew u could have used it for decorative stitches too.. thank you
You have a peaceful voice.
That was so clearly demonstrated. Thanks a lot Debbie. It is a must try
Thank you, I enjoyed your tutorial very much. Wasn't aware of the decorative stitches.
Many thanks for your video - I have a twin needle and use it on jersey fabrics, but I didn't think of stay-tape before - it will make it much easier to get a neat finish. Nice needle threader too.
Thank you for sharing. .!
I have always been afraid to use double needles. . Not any more. . Thanks!
Thankyou for the clear and thorough instruction and the safety tip pre needle change. I’m now going to have a go!
you made twin needle stitching look so much fun. Thanks for sharing
The stay tape is a great idea. Thanks great video.
Just ran across this little video of yours. Thanks so much for the nice and clear explanation!
FABULOUS! Thanks so much for a very informative video .... Not only did you cover everything, but you made it look so simple that is encouraging to someone new to knits & twin needles. I'm sure that years of experience helps to make it appear simple, but you have also blessed us with the knowledge that you will have gained through all your years of trial & error. Thanks again ... I can't wait to try them now! :)
Great video. I am so glad I watched it - did not know to use the fusible tape before this. I am going to make a few t-shirts for my grandsons and I am definitely going to go out and get some of this now. Also going to check and see if my sewing machine will take the double needle.
So easy to see and follow tutorial 👍🦋 ; examples of stitches with double needles and stretch fabric was extra info that was so useful too! Thanks !
Excellent tutorial, thank you for the suggestion of using the Knit Stay Tape.
Thank you for the great video, I did everything as instructed following exactly as you but only one needles is picking up the bobbin thread and seeing a stitch the other needle just making holes no stitch sewn. Any ideas as to what might be going on or suggestions that I can try to hopefully get it working like it should be? Thanks for your time
This is the 3rd video about twin needles I watched and it’s the first one that actually makes sense to me. Haha. Thank you!!!
First time I know there's a twin needle that explains how clothes are finished in a proper why thank you your english is slow which helps me to understand it since it is not my first language
Awezome video! Just what i am looking for! I have a nice general purpose singer machine that can do so much more than what i am doing now. I am making table top items and these techniques will give me a boost! Thank you for showing how easy it really is. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much for telling me to use a wide-mouth foot for decorative stitching. I had tried once & shattered the needles ~ I didn't know there was a foot I could use.
One hit me under the eye
Wow this needle is so amazing, you dont have to double fold the edge. Wow i love it, this is useful too for making babies bloomer or fabric diaper
Great tutorial thankful u said it work by stitching upward most have not explained that
I had no idea! Here I was wishing I had a cover stitch machine and all I need is a twin needle!
Me too. This is amazing!
@@sayrenepaulsen6367 Me also!
Me too! All the time I have twin needles, and never used them! No need for a cover stitch machine........
I learned this trick from my grandmother - who was in her late '80s. She embraced then 'new' technologies with glee. I find these videos to be outstanding. No long lead-ins, no superfluous chit-chat, well lit, well paced, great moderation.
Thank you for this video! I've been wondering how can I make cover stitch without using an overlock and I stumbled onto this tutorial. I feel so lucky!
I did it! So exciting! Great video, thank you!
so thankful here for your video! 😍
I LOVE IT! ❤
the procedures were so easy to follow and can easily be understood 😊
you got a new fan here! 😊😊👍
just started using my brother nv55-p
and this video made me feel more excited in exploring it more! 😍❤❤
will be watching all your videos and will also wait for your upcoming ones! 😍
God bless you! 😊
VioletGypsie - I already had my bobbin thread pulled up because I had been sewing a regular seam prior to switching to the twin needle. Yes, I think best to pull it through before starting. My machine has a little adapted which I can add onto a peg on the top to give room for a second spool or bobbin. If yours doesn't you might have room to add a regular bobbin on top of your main spool, or in a pinch, pop the spool of thread in a cup and just let it pull through as you sew!
Very nice idea for neckline embrodriwork. Thank you.
Wow, looks amazing 😉 Thanks Debbie
Thank you, now i can make the tshirt perfectly :)
loved demo: first time to see how it sews on knit so that really helped me; didn't know you could do decorative stitches with twin. needle on stretch fabric too; just saw on another video about presser foot being wide enough to accommodate two needles & not the usual one for single needle (just in case the single presser foot is used before using twin needles).
saw the wide presser foot at end.
For the first time I learnt how to use a double needle! Thanks so much! I just missed how to use two bobbins below? I will watch again. THANK YOU once again.
I believe there's only one bobbin below. She has the 2nd up on top of the machine to be the 2nd spool of thread!
Hello from 2020. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much, I really really appreciate this, it’s so very very helpful and useful and, you really really showed us all properly, taken us through everything. xxx Mags stay safe and well too x
I love love love your how to videos---I have a request...I saw there are only 2 videos in your serger playlist...will you please please fill that playlist up for me with how to's (ting--sparkly smile)....I also need a playlist for beginner projects for sewists and a playlist for serger and or accessory embellishments

Thanks so much for all you do! I am a huge fan of your work...Many blessings! E.
Thank you so much for sharing! You help me a lot!
I was hoping I had a twin needle a couple days ago, as I was shortening a long sleeve tee shirt. I managed to sew a double seem, so it looked ok, but thanks for the video. It helps a lot. I'll get over and buy one. Doesn't look so scary. lol
I am a novice... I would like her to teach me everything to do with sewing. So easily explained. Just bought a pack of footers on Amazon don't know how to use them. You tube going to help me! Thank you!!
Thank you i love your video. Very informative.
I was wondering how this all worked. Love your needle threader. Going to look for one of those. I was curious why I would need a double needle in my sewing (new to it). Great video. New subbie from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Perfect! I liked a lots al the clear explanations! Congratulations
I like your voice and thorough instruction. I think I might be able to do this now.....with practice 😉

Thank you! It was a great help for me.
Thank you very much Deby!
Helpful tutorial .. Thank you 🌹💜
Great tutorial!
Thank you, never used a twin needle before, was always wondering how shop bought clothes have the nicely finished hem. Now I now
Shop clothes use industrial machine whice is different than this portable machine in the video
They use coverstitch machine, not twin needle
True ready made hems are done with coverstitch machines but you can buy home use machines for coverstitch as well as industrial. But, twin needle makes a nice substitute!
GC Durnin I guess they are expensive.
@@trirain146 Same use.
Very educative video. Thank you
Wow I love. Sewing but no good at it never know they have twin needle amazing thank you so much ❤️❤️
