Thread breaking may be caused by: 1. Any of the three reasons mentioned above. 2. Tension too tight. 3. Using bad or knotty thread. Bad stitches may be caused as a result of: 1. Tensions being too loose or too tight. Both tensions should be equal. 2. Using needles and threads that do not conform to the thickness of the fabric. Top and bottom thread should be the same. 3. Fluff having accumulated between the upper tension discs, or underneath the tension spring of the bobbin case.

to remove the upper and lower parts of the bobbin case. Turn the balance wheel so as to see clearly screws E-1, E-2, and E-3. Unscrew these, and take off the hook bow. NOTE: Since these screws are extremely small, it is necessary to use great care so as not to lose them. Grasp center hook between thumb and forefinger, and turn the balance wheel gently until the lower case slips out. Clear out the dirt with a cloth, and put a drop of oil on the running surface under the case. Replace lower bobbin case.
NO ATTACHMENTS ARE NEEDED for all normal sewing and most types of fancy sewing. The PFAFF comes equip ped with a hinged presser foot. No. 44088 (Fig. 14), which is used for these purposes. This should remain on your machine most of the time. To remove it, loosen the screw, and lift presser foot out to the left.

The tension of must be tightened to obtain a well drawn-in stitch. The length of the buttonhole should be marked in pencil on the fabric.
The needle is now in the fabric at the left of the cord. Raise the needle and push lever G into its second groove by turning it to the left. In this way, the wider zigzag stitch for the first bar tack is set. To make the bar, four to five zigzag stitches are necessary, and while doing these, the fabric must be held somewhat to reduce the forward feeding. On making the last stitch of the bar, leave the needle in the fabric to the left.
Fig. 22 An additional ornamental seam, parallel to the edging, adds a handsome effect. (Fig. 23). 21. Applique work Trace the design on both fabrics, with the cloth to be appliqued extending 1/16th inch beyond the edge of the design. Place the cutting on the fabric so that it corre sponds to the pattern, and baste it on. 24 Fig.

Raise the presser bar, place wire clamp (A) with its bent end around the shank of foot screw (13); and with the short end into hole (C) of the face plate. (Fig. 33).
