R7137 R7175 Three-Need leDecorativeSewing 4 To do three-needle sewing, you must buy spool holder No. 53137 which slips over the regular spool pins (see \ illustration) and have your Pfaff dealer convert your machine to sew a stitch width of about i/i, inch. The third thread is led to the needle with the second thread. Afteryour machine has been convert ed, you can sew all black patterns on the narrow-design side of the embroidery dial with three needles. Automatic Embroidery A Interesting design effects are easy to make by combining Automatic patterns. Now you can make flower petals and other intricate designs. The more familiar you are with your machine, the more inspired you will be toward creative sewing. The Elastic Seam When setting A=0, B= , C=3, D=8, E=1, and the stitch length control between 0.2 and 0.6, the machine sews the zigzag seam pictured on the design selector wheel (see also page 52 arrow). This functional seam is firmly anchored in the material and is ideally suited for hem ming and other edge finishing operations on elastic materials, such as tricot, jersey, Helanca, Lastex and charmeuse. Additional applications are inserting patches in tricot and linen (see page 37) and attaching elastic. R7176 55 _47 •
