For some reason I had it in my mind that threading a machine to use a double needle involved a great deal of manipulation and finagling - I had no idea it was so easy! After watching I ran downstairs, stuck in a double needle and gave it a try - I couldn't believe how easy it was, lol. Thank you SO much for this video -double needle stitching, here I come!

@bobsgirl93 The bottom will not look "exactly" like a standard zig-zag. It will be drawn into the center slightly. You should be able to see the top thread at the back. Often the fabric will tunnel or cause a tuck in the fabric. If you do not want the tuck to happen, you can stabilize the fabric slightly with a spray starch or sizing.

A double needle works with machines that can do a zig-zag stitch. The
overall width of your zig-zag stitch will determine what size of needles
your machine can accomodate. Double needles can range from 1.6mm to 6.0 mm.
The sizes indicate the distance between the needles. Not all machines can
make a zig-zag 6.0 mm wide. Measure the width of your zig-zag stitch prior
to working with double needles.
