The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed) For sewing any fabric precisely Pfaff provides the ideal solution: the Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on industrial machines, the IDT feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time. The material is fed precisely. On light fabrics such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt projects aligned to prevent stretching of the top layers. Engaging the IDT Important: For all work with the IDT, use presser feet with the center back cut-out. Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT (14) down until it engages.

Preparations
Threading the twin needle:
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Insert the second
spool pin and place one spool of thread on each of the spool
pins. During threading in the left threading slot (17), make
sure that you pass one thread each to the left and right sides
of tension disk B. Continue threading in the usual manner,
making sure the threads do not become twisted together. Pull
the threads right and left into the thread guide and thread the
needles (for additional details, see “Embroidering with the twin
needle”).
Note: It is not possible to use the integrated needle threader with a
twin needle.
The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)
For sewing any fabric precisely Pfaff provides the ideal
solution: the Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on industrial
machines, the IDT feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at
the same time. The material is fed precisely. On light fabrics
such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents puckering of the
seam. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of
checked and striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt
projects aligned to prevent stretching of the top layers.
Engaging the IDT
Important: For all work with the IDT, use presser feet with the
center back cut-out.
Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT (14) down until it engages.
