Wing Needle Stitching
Single Wing Needle
Insert Wing needle. If available, engage the Wing Needle Limitation
function or Security Program (Wing needle option). This alters the stitch
width so that the “wings” of the needle will not hit the stitch plate; also
constrains stitches to the center needle position.
Position the lace on top of the organdy. Select the pin stitch or blanket
stitch (if not available, select a narrow zigzag stitch). Stitch along one
edge of the lace, engaging the Mirror Image function if necessary. Sew
along the remaining edge, again engaging Mirror Image as needed.
Carefully trim fabric from under lace.
Frame lace insertion with three of the stitches suggested in the chart.
Double Wing Needle
Insert Double Wing Needle. Select the Straight Stitch. Engage the
Double Wing Needle limitation/security funciton. Adjust the stitch length
to 3mm. Stitch across the fabric on the bias (diagonal). At the end,
carefully pivot and sew back along the first line of stitching, with the
“wing” portion of the Double needle entering into the holes created by
the first line of stitching.
Frame the center row of stitching with two additional lines of stitching:
- 1st row - blindstitch - sew in one direction, pivot, and stitch
back to create a “chain” effect
- 2nd row - decorative straight stitch motif, such as a scallop
Carefully remove the stabilizer following the manufacturer’s directions.
Trim and mount the sample.
Wing Needle Tips:
When selecting stitches to
use with a Wing or Double
Wing Needle, look for multi-
motion stitches where the
needle enters the same hole
multiple times.
Stitching on the diagonal
(bias) of the fabric allows
the holes created by the Wing
needle to open more easily.
To help support the fabric and
stitching, temporarily bond a
layer of heavy, water-soluble
stabilizer to the wrong side of
the fabric using 505 temporary
spray adhesive.
