Genera! notes on embroidery To enhance your own home textiles or garments the tiptronic 2020 and 2010 offer you a wide variety of fancy and decorative stitches. You can produce even greater embroidery variations by combining different patterns, colors and sizes. For embroidery work we recommend using special embroidery threads which are available from your PFAFF dealer. For areas to be embroidered you should always use an iron-on backing or other stabilizer under the fabric. Properly stabilizing your fabric will help eliminate distortion of your embroidery stitches. Mark your embroidery lines with a fabric marking pen or chalk. It is important to use only fabric marking pens/pencils. These marks can be removed after completion of your embroidery work. The following recommendations apidy to all embroidery work: The stitch length and width can be altered as desired. Thread tension: Lower the upper thread tension to between 2-3. Adjust as needed so bobbin thread does not pull to the top side of your project. Your embroidery results wi'l be much prettier if your tension is properly adjusted. If needed, the bobbin thread tension can be increased/decreased to produce a consistent quality and a three-dimensional appearance to your work (see page 22). Sewing feet: Sewing feet No. 2 (2020) and No. 1(2010) are most suitable for embroidery work. We recommend sewing foot 1(2020) and sewing foot 0 (2010) for difficult to handle fabrics. Changing the pattern width The pattern width can be altered using key pair a (1). The width can also be adjusted while sewing. Changing the pattern length The pattern length can be altered using key pair b (2). The length can also be adjusted while sewing. 34 65
