If you put one needle in, it seems to go in just so. Doesn't want to giggle or squirm around. Does the second needle have it's own hole, or does it share the hole with the first one?

I'll have to give this a try in the near future.

You have to open it up wide enough to accept the two needles - then just tighten it up. Magic - holds fine on the ones I've tried it on.

OK so they fit in stacked front to back rather than side to side. I see said the blind man.

nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooo they go side to side or they will break when they go in the throat plate and you have to have the flat side to the back

I am trying to cut out quilt strips, iron scraps, cogitate on the ailing EDISON, and picture in my pea brain how the needles go. Perhaps I should back up and just do one thing at a time for now. When I'm done with this part of my quilt cover I'll check out the 401A.
