Discover the creative possibilities of twin needle stitching in this technique-focused class inspired by tips from the BERNINA community. Twin needles allow you to sew two parallel rows of stitching at the same time using a single bobbin thread, creating beautiful decorative effects and unique quilting textures.

In this class, we’ll explore how to set up your machine for twin needle sewing, including proper threading, stitch settings, and machine adjustments. Students will learn how to safely stitch with a twin needle while experimenting with decorative stitches and quilting lines to create striking visual effects.

Techniques we’ll cover include:

• Understanding twin needle sizes and spacing

• Threading your machine correctly for twin needle use

• Choosing appropriate stitch settings

• Creating decorative stitching effects

• Using twin needles for quilting texture and design

Students will practice on sample fabric while learning how different threads, stitch patterns, and settings can dramatically change the look of their stitching.

Students must bring their own set of twin needles for this class. Basic sewing supplies and a sewing machine in good working order are recommended. Practice fabric will be provided so students can focus on experimenting with techniques and discovering the creative potential of twin needle quilting.

This class is perfect for sewists who want to expand their decorative stitching skills and learn new ways to add texture and detail to quilting and sewing projects.
