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 five 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 orderto 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

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
beginning
to sew and
leave
approximately
10cm
of
thread
hanging.
When
stitching
the
corner,
you
pull
on
the
threads
of
the
respec
five
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
orderto
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).
