The following Schmetz Double Needles are available: Double Universal, Denim, Hemstitch, Machine Embroidery, Metallic, and Stretch style needles. Choose the type that is right for your fabric as you would with any of the needles above. The package of needles will show two numbers. One is the needle size; the other is the distance between the two needles. This distance varies from 2.0 mm to 6.0 mm. Remember that the needles must fit through the hole in the stitch plate, so if you have been using a straight stitch plate you must change it to a zig-zag stitch plate to avoid hitting the plate with the needles! This could be a disappointing and expensive mistake!

Comes in a
variety of needle types and sizes. Double needles are actually two
needles mounted on one shaft and are used to create two rows of
stitches at the same time. When using a double needle two spools of
thread will be used in the top of the machine. Pass the thread from
each one on a different side of the tension discs and thread one
into each needle. Only one bobbin thread will be used and the
stitches will create a double "web" of stitches on the back of the
work. Check to see how you like this under stitching prior to using
these needles.
