    • Schmetz Twin Sewing Machine Needles

    A selection of 4 different twin needlesSchmetz Twin needles are a versatile addition to any sewing toolkit, offering unique stitching capabilities that can enhance your projects. Whether you're looking to create perfect parallel lines, add decorative topstitching, or achieve a professional finish on hems, twin needles are an ideal solution.

    A twin needle, also known as a double needle, consists of two needles mounted on a single shank. This allows you to sew two rows of stitches simultaneously, making it perfect for decorative work, hemming stretchy fabrics, or adding strength to seams. The spacing between the needles varies, allowing for different widths of stitches, depending on your project needs.

    Applications of Twin Needles:

    • Stretch and Knit Fabrics: Twin needles are widely used for hemming stretchy fabrics like jersey or knits. The dual rows of stitching provide flexibility while maintaining a polished, professional look, similar to a coverstitch machine.
    • Decorative Stitching: Whether on garments, quilts, or home décor items, twin needles create stunning parallel rows of topstitching. You can use contrasting thread colours for a creative touch.
    • Pin Tucks and Fine Detailing: Twin needles are perfect for sewing fine details, such as pin tucks, adding texture and dimension to lightweight fabrics.

    Needle Sizes and Spacing:
    Twin needles come in various sizes and needle types to suit different fabrics, from lightweight cottons to heavier materials like denim or stretch fabrics. The distance between the needles can also vary, giving you flexibility in the width of your stitches. Always make sure to check your sewing machine's compatibility with twin needles and set up two spools of thread for seamless stitching.

    Key Features:

    • Simultaneously creates two rows of stitching for a professional finish
    • Available in various needle types for different fabric weights and compositions
    • Ideal for stretch fabrics, decorative stitching, pin tucks, and topstitching
    • Range of needle sizes and widths for versatile applications
    • Compatible with most domestic sewing machines

    With twin needles, you can enhance your sewing projects with precision and decorative flair. Whether you're finishing hems on stretchy garments or adding creative topstitching to home décor projects, twin needles provide a reliable and professional finish.
