Sewing Free-Motion Options All stitches on your machine can be sewn in free-motion to create fantastic effects. Touch Free-Motion to open a window where you can select between three different Free-Motion Options. For all free-motion sewing the Feed Dogs will lower automatically and the fabric must be moved manually. Touch Free-Motion to close the Free-Motion Options window. Your settings are shown under Active features in the Information Area. Note: Make sure that the IDT™ system is disengaged. Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion Activate to set the machine in Dynamic Spring Foot Free-Motion mode for the Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion. The Dynamic Spring Foot measures the fabric thickness and will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. Note: The Dynamic Spring Foot 6D is recommended for use with straight stitch. Activate Stitch Width Safety in Settings. Spring Foot Free-Motion Activate to set the machine in Spring Foot Free-Motion mode for optional spring feet. A spring foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. Note: Optional spring feet can be purchased at your local authorized PFAFF® dealer. Do not use a spring foot if Sensormatic Free-Motion is activated, since the needle might damage the presser foot. Sensormatic Free-Motion Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-motion mode for presser foot 6A or some other sensormatic foot, e.g yarn couching etc. When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing. Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches. To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic freemotion mode, open the Free-Motion options window 92 Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion Sensormatic Free-Motion Foot 6A
