    There's no stopping you now - post pics of your handmade stuff.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Twin needle on a home machine is for decorative purposes. There is still only one bobbin thread so the double needle seam is not particularly strong. You need two spool holders and two tension plates. Other than that it is fairly simply. Thread the machine twice making sure you keep the threads from tangling and sew as usual. But don't expect strength. Cause you are not likely to get it.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    "Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
