6-20 6. Embroidery Assistant Embroider on terry cloth Even fine loop fabrics such as terry cloth or velvet can be embroidered with your Pfaff creative 2140. Both the maxi stitches and the embroidery designs of the memory cards can be used for this purpose. • If your piece of terry cloth is too thick to fit into the hoop, hoop Adhesive-backed paper, remove the paper layer and stick the terry cloth on the adhesive surface. • Tack or pin Water-soluble stabilizer onto the terry cloth to cover the terry loops. • Now you can embroider the design. If the fabric is very thick, press the sew slow" button. Embroider Maxi stitches without embroidery unit For creating borders you can use the Maxi stitches of the machine or those of cards A and B. • Place embroidery stabilizer under the fabric to reinforce it. • Place Water-soluble stabilizer onto the fabric. Pin both of them to the fabric. Before doing so, use chalk or a fabric marker to draw a line for a straight embroidery border on the terry cloth or the Water-soluble stabilizer. Now the stitches can be sewn in the desired length with presser foot No. 8 and the "sew slow' function (40). • Alternatively spray the embroidery stabilizer with spray-on temporary adhesive and place the fabric on top of it. In this case too, we recommend placing Watersoluble stabilizer onto the fabric in addition to the other stabilizer. Hoop all layers and embroider the desired design. When you have finished embroidering remove the Water soluble stabilizer carefully, the embroidery stabilizer below can be torn off. The remaining Water-soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water.
