Yes, I'm still focused on the placemats. I have also discovered that my 2 year old camera takes videos! I wanted to play with the video so I decided to make a couple of tutorial videos about using a twin needle. The first one shows how to set up your machine for twin needle sewing.
The second one has a couple of tips for sewing with the twin needle.










You are too funny! You just noticed it took videos! You did a great job with the video. Love the information! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial videos. Thanks for the great tip on stopping the stitch with the needle in the up position when I reach the corner. I always intentionally stop with the needle down into the fabric (or paper) in order to allow me to turn the fabric at the corner but with your video I can clearly see the benefits of leaving the needle in the up position. Thank you! I use a double needle for pintucking. I wonder if the pintucking needle is different from your double needle. They appear to look the same.

Great videos. You don't double fold the top over so there isn't a raw edge on the back?

Good job on the videos. I think videos are so much easier to understand than just photos with written instructions especially for sewing stuff.

How great to hear your voice. I think voices say so much more than photos!
