How do I keep my threads from twisting and shredding? I’ve tried everything: re-threading 85 times, changing the bobbin thread, adjusting the tension, making sure that each thread is on the correct side of the tension discs, and following the directions to the T.

Hello!

Will you be able to answer a Question?

Can I use a twin needle on my Bernina B215 sewing machine to hem casual stretch pants ?

I have a Schmetz twin needle 130/795 ZWI 4,0/80

Any help from you would be appreciated

Sincerely, Rosemarie Paccagnella

In reply to Lisa. This is so useful! I want to try it but I see there are different sizes of these needles on Amazon... Which type is used for which fabric, please?

Hi. I am still having problems with the threads snapping. If I look on the underside of the work I can see the bobbin (lower) thread is pulled so tight it is straight and not zig-zag at all. I did try and slacken the tension by adjusting the screw on the bobbin case but then I couldn’t sew an ordinary sea and it still didn’t help. Please…….do you have any ideas I could try? Thanks you, Barbara

You mention that even old straight stitch-only machines can sew with a double needle. They can’t, as obviously they only have one tiny round hole in the throat plate! A twin needle would crash into the plate immediatelly. Even if you drilled more holes in the throat plate, the right needle would crash into the hook while the left one would miss it completely. So you need a zig-zag machine, and one with a forward facing hook on top of that. Most machines built after 1960 are suitable.

This was the best explanation and examples of how to avoid the tunneling. I am never comfortable messing with the tension but I need to get over it and experiment with it as you demonstrated. Thank you!

I’ve been struggling with tunneling and that little strip of iron on interfacing makes all the difference! Thank you so much!

Thank you. I’ll test test and retest, since I’ve always gotten tunneling. The interfacing use is a true surprise.
