Great tips on this vodcast. I have not used the double needle on my sewing machine yet but will have to give it a try soon.
Susan,
You will love the double needle, just be sure to check the tension. Another use for the needle is pin-tucking, along with the tucking foot on your machine. This is a great way to add interest to the front of a garment or home decor item, such as a pillow. ENJOY!
