If you have two thread spool pins you can use a double needle. But make sure your needle plate is not a single hole, you'll need a needle plate with a wide hole enough to accomodate two needles.
Difficult to say. The manual doesn't seem to mention using a double needle. However, frequently, the the bobbin loads from the top or the front, there is a possibility a double needle will work.
Be sure you are using the correct needle and thread for your project. Use a ball-point for knitted fabric. Also, be sure to thread one top thread all the way through the needle and then thread the other thread. Do not thread them at the same time as the threads will twist. If your machine has separators in the thread path for separate threads, be sure to separate the threads. (Most likely your machine does not have separators since there is no mention of using double needles.) ALWAYS THREAD with the presser foot raised.
FWIW, overlockers do not take double needles. There are usually at least two needles each installed separately. If you try using a double needle, you will most likely break them and possibly damage you machine.
for a double needle, first thread the first needle, then put the second spool up & thread in the same places as the first, making sure every guide is used, then thread the needle.
that's how I do when I used my double needle to sew
if the machine regular needle threads front to back NOT side to side, you can use a double needle. simply pass both threads thru all the same slots (thread one at a time so they don't get twisted up) then just before the needles, leave one out of the thread guide just above the needle. you may have to loosen the top tension SLIGHTLY, like a half number. and do NOT use a zig zag stitch without first hand cranking it thru the cycle to be sure the needles clear, or you'll make a 5.00 mistake (the cost of the double needles!)
