Insert Wing needle (obtainable at your Pfaff dealer) Needle size: 100-110 Note: When using the Wing needle, do not operate the needle threader. Hemstitching made with a Wing needle is particularly effective on table linen, children's wear, etc. The hemstitching effect is produced in one operation. When hemstitching heavier materials, it is recommended that you draw one or two threads out of the fabric before sewing. Heavier thread is unsuitable for hemstitching. Best results are obtained with a No.50 machine embroidery thread. Always use the same size thread on the bobbin and in the needle. SR
