Working with straight stitch, utility- and stretch stitch Tips for embroidering and sewing with the Pfaff Creative 1473 • Before you begin, first try sewing on a piece of waste fabric. • Check the stitch formation and tension. • Secure the beginning and end of the seam by pressing "tie-off/button-toIe" key 19. • For sewing light, soft and stretch materials hold the thread ends at the beginning of sewing (Fig. 1). • With cross seams, such as lap-felled seams, we recommend cutting out the fold and pressing the seam. This will provide a flatter cross seam. • In the case of problem materials, you can achieve better sewing results with the left needle position. • Exact stitching of edges is facilitated by the marking guide lines on the needle plate or by an edge guide (Fig. 2). • If you have to interrupt work during sewing, e.g. with long fabric panels or upon change of sewing direction, select needle position "down". Top-stitching collar points • Insert a thread into each collar point before beginning to sew and leave approximately 10 cm of thread hanging. When stitching the cor ner, you pull on the threads of the respective corner for the first stitches in sewing direction. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig. 3). 46
