    I wind another bobbin and add it to the thread spool when using a twin needle. It resolves needing two spools of thread just for a hem 😊

    For the double needle and the issue of needing a second spool of thread, you could fill up a second bobbin of your thread and use that as your second spool. For hemming you don’t really need much thread so this works well for me.

    Great tip! Using a second bobbin as a spool is a clever idea for double needle work. Thanks for sharing! 💜

    Hi Christine, how do you do the blind hem for stretch fabric? I’ve only ever used that method for woven fabrics (and I’m rusty).

    I actually don't! But you definitely could if you were sewing with swim-wears, regularly I use the needle that o used in the video!😁💜
