Hi, I think a double needle can be used for pin pleats, though I call them pintucks so maybe it's not what you mean. I haven't made them in ages but I think my sewing machine book explained. Possibly pulling on the bobbin thread so the two lines of sewing are brought together. I used them on a christening gown with lace insertions, etc.
