Double Eye Needles For Exquisite Decorative Stitching and Embroidery.

Add depth and color to your stitching with Double Eye Needles. These sewing machine needles are exactly what they sound like: universal sewing machine needles with two eyes. The needle’s double eyes allow you to sew with two upper threads at once to create a unique topstitch appearance. Double Eye Needles are commonly used to stitch with two colors simultaneously to create a shaded, textured appearance for machine embroidery or decorative topstitching. Using a needle with two eyes ensures both thread colors maintain a fixed position for neat, consistent stitching. Alternatively, both eyes can also be threaded with the same thread color to create a thicker topstitch appearance. Double Eye Needles are universal (standard) needles, so they’re applicable for a wide variety of medium-weight materials.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eye Needles

What is a double-eye needle used for?

Double Eye Needles are used to sew with two upper threads at once, usually in two different colors to create decorative effects like shading and a textured appearance.

How do you thread a double-eye needle?

Generally, the process for threading a double-eye needle in a sewing machine will be very similar to how you’d normally thread your machine. However, it’s best to consult your manual before threading, as some machines may require a slightly different process due to differences in design. Your lower thread (bobbin thread) can be threaded as normal. For the upper threads, pass both threads through the machine’s guide elements as specified by your manual, taking any separation options if your machine has them. Then, pass one thread through each eye of the needle. To prevent the threads from twisting, it’s a good idea to make sure the two thread spools unwind in opposite directions.
