 CAUTION

• Use only twin needles made for this machine 

(part code X59296-151). Other needles could 

break, resulting in damage.

• Be sure to set the twin needle mode when 

using the twin needle. Using the twin needle 

while the machine is in single needle mode 

could cause the needle to break, resulting in 

damage.

• Do not sew with bent needles. The needle 

could break and cause injury.

• When using the twin needle, be sure to use 

presser foot “J”.

• When the twin needle is used, bunched 

stitches may occur depending on the types of 

fabric and thread that are used.

If this occurs, use monogramming foot “N”.
