How do I rotate 2 steppers at the same time?

Is there somethimg like theading in arduino?

I'm using Stepper.h library to use steppers and I want to rotate two of them at the same time, is that possible?

Additional info:

I'm using two drivers ULN2003 and Arduino Nano to controll steppers.

Code for one of them:

  void AStep(){
        AStepper.step(i1.toInt());
        display.println("Turned A stepper;");
        display.display();
  }

You can make them appeir as they are moving at the some time by making the stepper do smaller "steps".

The only thing is that this method DOESN'T make them turn in actual sync.

Snippet by PaulS from the Arduino forums.

for(int s=0; s<step_360; s++)
{
 AStepper.step(1);
 BStepper.step(1);
}
