For safety you can also leave the power on to your machine so you can take advantage of the light, but engage your bobbin winder as this will disengage your needle shaft. If you have small children in the house you can engage the bobbin winder every time you leave your machine or turn it off and not be worried they will start the machine. Even if they turn the machine on the needle shaft will not go up and down.

Also I bought one of those needle threaders but mostly for putting the needles in. I haven’t been able to get it just right to actually thread the needle. Lol. Thank god my eyes are still good.

Am about to sew my first Jersey and I do want to show the hem at the bottom so you have given me the courage to try my double needle for the first time. Also had needle threaders but just the normal ones had not seen the one you had so now found it and it will be here tonight, a pack of three which means a friend who takes an hour to thread her machine as no needle threader on hers sadly can try one and hopefully means most of her sewing time will be taken up with sewing not needle threading. So thank you x

Brilliant video! I have used my twin needle a couple of times to shorten hems on my partner's overlong polo's, but it wasn't that great a job. Now I know to use the sticky tape to find the edge, as I found some of the stitching had missed the hem edge on the inside. I do hate sewing without seeing! Also love the idea of using twin needle embroidery. I've never done much with my machine's embroidery as it was not that impressive and I couldn't get the fabric balanced when trying to do repeat rows, so they never quite matched. Looking forward now to embroidering lots of existing clothes :).

VioletGypsie - I already had my bobbin thread pulled up because I had been sewing a regular seam prior to switching to the twin needle. Yes, I think best to pull it through before starting. My machine has a little adapted which I can add onto a peg on the top to give room for a second spool or bobbin. If yours doesn't you might have room to add a regular bobbin on top of your main spool, or in a pinch, pop the spool of thread in a cup and just let it pull through as you sew!

Only problem with the stay tape is that the hem doesn't stretch after its done either. I find that often just by taking the bobbin thread and disengaging the tension from it completely will give me a much neater stitch that does not ripple and has a good stretch without breaking threads. Of course every machine is different but this trick works for me.
