How do I use a twin needle on a Singer 4411. I would like to know how to thread a twin needle on the Singer 4411.

Try a brand new needle.

If that doesn't work, your machine has probably been knocked out of time. Take it for service or if you are handy, you can search for "sewing machine timing" and try to fix it yourself.

Probably depends on the model. Was a twin needle included with your starter kit?

This one indicates it will take a twin needle:
2277 TRADITION

Your owner's manual or the product specifications are probably the best source for information.

Instruction Manuals

BTW, you are using 2 spools of thread, right? You need to thread both needles with separate spools (do not twist the threads when threading!).

How to Use Twin Needle on Your Sewing Machine

Be sure to verify the machine is set to straight stitch. Any zig-zag could break one or both needles!

You also will have to thread the needles manually as the needle threader will not work on twin needles.

ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the top thread!

...

To thread the upper thread, make sure that the needle bar is fully up, using the hand wheel. Put the thread spool on the spool pin and secure it with the spool holder. Use the end of the spool holder that is closest to the spool size. Bring the thread through first guide to the left of the spool holder. Slide it past and behind the guide before pulling it into the guide. Then bring the thread to the pre-tension spring. Similarly, the thread goes behind the spring and then comes forward. Next bring the thread down through the channel and up through the adjacent one further to the left. It helps to hold the thread between the spool and the thread guide. Once you bring the thread up through the second channel bring it from right to left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever. Bring the thread down and through the horizontal thread guide, the thin guide clamp needle and to the needle. Thread the needle from front to back.

The manuals for most Singer sewing machines are available from the manufacturer's site: http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals . The direct link to the manual for the 4411 is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1230_4411_heavy_duty_esf.pdf . See page page 16 (page 23 of the PDF) for pictures of the guides.

I hope this helps.

If what you say is the case, the needle/hook timing is off. You can search the internet for sites or videos showing how to do this yourself or take it for service.

...

Try a brand new needle. Verify that the machine is threaded properly--both upper and bobbin threads.

If it is still not picking up the bobbin thread, it is likely there is a needle/hook timing issue requiring service.

...

you oil it in the center of your bobbin case, also theres a small pad like thing just above your needle , there as well as inside your threading area where the spring is

Understanding Thread Tension Threads

Be sure to mark the tension screw setting on the bobbin BEFORE you make any adjustments so you can reverse the changes. If you sew a lot of heavy fabric, it may be worthwhile to buy an extra bobbin (they aren't that expensive). Then set one bobbin for heavy thread and keep one for regular thread. Makes it a lot easier to go from one to the other without fiddling with tension screw adjustments.

...

Either blunt needle or you may have a burr on the needle plate

If you've threaded the bobbin per instructions... then make sure your needle isn't damaged, bent, or dull. Also make sure the needle is seated fully and correctly oriented into the needle bar.

Look in your attachments for the secondary spool pin. Then you'll thread both upper threads as normal.
