Working with straight stitch, utility- and stretch stitch Tips for embroidering and sewing with the Pfaff Creative 1473 • Before you begin, first try sewing on a piece of waste fabric. • Check the stitch formation and tension. • Secure the beginning and end of the seam by pressing "tie-off/button-toIe" key 19. • For 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". Top-stitching collar points • Insert a thread into each collar point before beginning to sew and leave approximately 10 cm of thread hanging. When stitching the cor ner, you pull on the threads of the respective corner for the first stitches in sewing direction. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig. 3). 46

Working
with
straight
stitch,
utility-
and
stretch
stitch
and
sewing
with
the
Pfaff
Creative
1473
•
Before
you
begin,
first
try
sewing
on
a
piece
of
waste
fabric.
•
Check
the
stitch
formation
and
tension.
•
Secure
the
beginning
and
end
of
the
seam
by
pressing
“tie-off/button-toIe”
key
19.
•
For
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”.
Top-stitching
collar
points
•
Insert
a
thread
into
each
collar
point
before
beginning
to sew
and
leave
approximately
10
cm
of
thread
hanging.
When
stitching
the
cor
ner,
you
pull
on
the
threads
of
the
respective
corner
for
the
first
stitches
in
sewing
direction.
The
material
feed
is
supported
in
this
way
and
you
obtain
a
beautifully
stitched
corner
(Fig.
3).
