Sewing with straight, utility and stretch stitches Tips for embroidering and sewing with the PFAFF creative 1467 • Before you begin, first sew a test seam on a scrap piece of the same material. • Check stitch pattern and tension. • Secure the beginning and end of the seam by pressing the "tie-off/button-hole" key. • When 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". • Thread the needle with the needle threader. Top-stitching collar points • Insert a thread into each collar point before 2 beginning to sew and leave approximately 10cm of thread hanging. When stitching the corner, you pull on the threads of the respec tive corner for the first stitches in sewing direc tion. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig. 3). • For top-stitching edges, especially in the case of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and J a straight-stitch sewing foot with round needle 3 hole can produce good sewing results (special accessories). • Sewing aid for thick seams In order to ensure uniform feeding at the begin ning of the seam, we recommend supporting the sewing foot with a piece of material of the same thickness (Fig. 4). 4 73
