The Ultra-Matic stitch seector The Ultra-Matic stitch selector sets your ma chine for straight and zigzag stitching. The different stitch ranges are marked by numbers. For instance, the range from 0 to 4 comprises straight stitches of different lengths. Turn the outer ring of the stitch se lector until the symbol of the stitch desired is opposite the white mark. In the illustration on the left, the stitch selector is set for sewing straight stitches about 2 mm long (about 12 stitches per inch). Start by making a sewing test. Press the foot control pedal. and watch your machine sew a straight-stitch seam. Then let your Pfaff run at different speeds. The harder you press the foot control pedal, the faster your machine will run. Now try a zigzag stitch. Zigzag stitches are shown on the Ultra-Matic stitch selector in the stitch ranges marked 5. 6, 7, 8 and 9. The zigzag stitch desired is dialed just as easily as a straight stitch. The stitch lengths are symbolized on the Ultra-Matic stitch selector by appropriate markings (see ill. on the left). The setting of the stitch selector is indicated for every sewing operation discussed. This simplifies the operation of your machine. In the illustation on this page the stitch se lector is shown set for a medium zigzag stitch in stitch range 8. The needle must never be in the material when you turn the Ultra-Matic stitch selector.
