The instructions on my Kenmore just mention a twin needle, but gave little detail on set-up. It appears to be more of a (needle) decorative stitch option with this machine. And, I agree it could be a nightmare with the bobbin.

My serger uses two needles, but that is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT type of sewing machine. My current (soon to be retired?) machine supposedly can use two, but I have never tried it, & the new one is still in the box so, , , , ,
the twin needle is actually just two needles that are connected at the top, so it's inserted into the machine just as if you were just putting in one needle.* then you use two top threads and sew some fancy stitch to make something look "purty"!!* The underside is still using the one bobbin with it's one thread.* I also have a triple needle, just like the twin only there's three needles that are connected at the top with one shank that goes into the sewing maching (just like a single needle) and again even though you will thread 3 different spools of thread into the top, you're still only using the 1 single bobbin underneight.* A serger is a whole other type of sewing machine hence the calling it a "serger" and not a "sewing machine" !!
