Hi there. If you have an acessory kit with your machine, there should be a plain spindle with a smaller bottom on it. There should also be a small hole on the top or back of your machine where your thread goes.. And yes you can thread both strands of thread thru the same areas till the needle.

its basically the same as a normal needle, but nearest the needle most machines have a way to divide the thread before the needle hole. Some machines have a left and right thread guide a couple of "steps" before the needle, but at some point they have to travel together, and this doesn't seem to be a problem. Make sure you lessen the tension as there is still only one bobbin thread, and triple check the needle is in the middle and that you are on straight stitch or you might break it!

Twin needles can be used on any machine. Just make sure you use the correct presser foot......one that allows both needles to work without hitting the foot. Also.........you cannot zig-zag or use any other fancy stitch with a twin needle.......it is strictly for straight sewing. You have to use 2 spools of thread .....thread your machine with both threads as if they were one thread but separate the threads when you get to the needle. There is no change to the bobbin. Happy sewing. I can't be bothered to go to all this trouble so I just sew 2 rows to get the same look. Ofcourse you have to be very good at sewing perfectly straight seams doing it this way. Try both methods on a scrap and see which method you prefer.
