Roxanne you are amazing!!! I'm just starting this sewing journey on the Quantum 9960 at the young age of 64 and oh boy did I need this help. Someone on a FB group recommended your video's and soooo glad she did. My hems and collars DRIVE me crazy to the point of throwing in the towel. Everyone says how relaxing sewing is to me it just throws my anxiety out the ceiling. Your video's are calming, thoro!!!!!!ugh and helpful. No idea about using stabilizer for the hems. Can't thank you enough!! 👍
What an easy and descriptive demonstration for exactly what I needed ! Thank you so much! Great advice about the stitch length and loosening the upper tension... no tunneling!
Roxanne, this is such a clear demonstration. You are making me love my machine! I've been attempting to hem three knit dresses for my daughter. Attempting!! After watching you video, I made a couple of clicks on Amazon to get the right needle and the magnetic seam guide (genius!). Then I ran by the fabric store and got the stabilizer. Now I feel like a super star! Thanks so much!
Perfect explanation on how to use the twin needle. If I wanted to hem an area that is curved, would I still use a straight piece of stabilizer or cut it in the shape of the curve? And many thanks for the stitching settings, very few youtube sites give those in their videos.
Hi Betsi. Glad you found my video helpful. I try to include all the details. I like to use fusible tricot because it goes around curves so nicely. Give it a try.
Hi Roxanne. The magnetic seam guide listing on Amazon says not recommended for computerized sewing machines. Have you found it safe with the Quantum Stylist 9960? Thank you.
The magnetic seam guide is designed to be placed on the needle plate which isn't near the electronics of the machine. It's perfectly safe when used as mentioned.
Hi Roxanne. Thank you for a great teaching tutorial! I'm always looking for ways to eliminate the tunneling that can happen between double needle stitches. Have you used this stabilizer on 100% cotton fabric, i.e. shortening a cotton T-shirt? Really prefer a 3/4" hem as well.
Hi Roxanne, Thanks for the very informative video. For some reason, my thread keeps getting twisted in the right needle and then caught in the bobbin. It makes me think the needle eye is not large enough. But they seem to all be the same eye size on the Schmetz twin needles. Any thoughts on why this may be happening?
Hi Brittany. I show step by step all the settings I use right in the video. Check out the description box for video intervals to go right to the spot you need.

Hi! So glad you found this information helpful.
Thanks for showing clearly how to use the stabilizer. I greatly appreciate your patience explaining details in this video.
Hi Meera. Glad it was helpful!

Glad I could help!
I am using an old Singer machine and will be giving this a try tomorrow. Thanks
Hi Fay. Glad you found my video helpful.
This is genius! Now I actually WANT to sew knits!
Glad you found this info helpful!
This is so helpful! I am just getting into sewing a lot of knits and learning to use the twin needle. Thank you so much.
Hi Lisa. You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for all your help and effort.
You are very welcome
So clear and helpful, thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I really needed this thank you
Glad you found this video helpful. Happy Sewing.
Oh my goodness, you made it look so easy. My last attempt was ugly. I used tissue paper but next time I'll use the Pelon EK 130. Thanks!
It really is just that easy. You can do it!
Love it! I just hem a knit top and had some tunneling. I wish I had seen your video before I worked on my project! ❤
Hope you try it on your next project.
thank you will give it a try because I have such headaches with the twin. I like your machine it’s so quiet too mine is loud as heck lol
Hi Rosa. Glad you found it helpful. Love using the twin needle.
Obrigada! Adorei saber sobre esse recurso da minha máquina. Estou aprendendo muito e de forma muito clara. 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Ana, De nada. Que bom que você achou meu vídeo útil!
This is great! I am having an issue with tunneling...I have a Janome MC9450
Hope this helps.
I do too! Setting the tension is something that isn't too easy on this particular machine!@@RoxanneStitches

Thank you so much. It helps me a lot. I am going to make a top to give it a try. 🤗
Hi Julie! Wonderful! It's so easy!

I’m not getting a zig zag stitch on the bobbin side, it’s more of a straight line. With loops of one of the top stitches
Hi Katie. Is it tunneling? Maybe try loosening the upper tension a bit more?
Roxanne...what stitch can i use for a stretch stretch on the 9960? TY
The lightning bolt stitch and triple stitch.

Hi Barbara. You should be fine. The hem can be made wider if you prefer also.
@@RoxanneStitches Thank you Roxanne!

The only thing I can think of is that one of the needles is a little bent. Try replacing the twin needle.
What settings are you using? I can’t get it done without bubbling.
Hi Brittany. I show step by step all the settings I use right in the video. Check out the description box for video intervals to go right to the spot you need.
What size stretch twin needle do you use. 2.5? Do they make 3.0 for stretch.
Here's the one I used in the video. amzn.to/3beSw6P
Where did you get your magnetic seam guide?
Hi Karen. Here's the link: Magnetic Seam Guide: amzn.to/37qlHCY
Do you need stretchy thread for this?
No special thread. Just regular sewing thread.
