These charts also provide you with instructions that are necessary when sewing the selected stitches. The choice of the sewing foot, the setting of the needle thread tension and whether to use IDT or not. Always use the “center” needle position if not otherwise speciÀced in the instructions.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:3 Needle thread tension Perfect tension To get perfect sewing results, the needle and bobbin thread tensions must be perfectly tuned to each other. The normal setting for utility stitches is in the range of 4-5. Too high tension Check the tension with a wide zigzag stitch. The threads must be interlaced between the two fabric pieces. If the needle thread tension is too high the threads are interlaced above the top fabric.

Begin sewing. stitch Note: When stretching elastic, make sure to stretch from the front and back of the sewing foot.
2:8 Utility stitches and practical sewing What is an overlock stitch? For stretch fabrics, the select models offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers together and overcast simultaneously. They are more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn. Tip: We recommend using blindhem stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides particularly well and prevents the seam from puckering even on wide seams.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:9 Closed overlock stitch The closed overlock stitch is perfect for sewing jersey knits. You can also sew sleeve cuffs and knit collars which are well-sewn and long-lasting. TIP: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is stretched while it is being sewn. Remember! stitch When overlocking, if you select a needle position other than center, and stitch width other than 5 , make sure the needle does not strike the bar of sewing foot 3.
2:10 Utility stitches and practical sewing What is a covering stitch? You can use the following stitches for sewing a Áat covering seam. This produces a ”Áatlock effect” with a professional look on collar plackets or raglan seams. The covering stitches are only available on select 1546. Feather stitch (Model 1546) With the feather stitch you can sew very stretchy fabrics with an effect similar to that of hemstitching, e.g. lingerie. • Serge the fabric edges and baste them over.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:11 Fancy elastic stitch (Model 1546) The fancy elastic stitch is very useful for fabrics that require a Áat seam, e.g. terry cloth and Áeece. stitch • Place the two fabric edges so that they overlap by about 2 cm and overstitch each edge with fancy elastic stitch. L 5- 1-2 3-5 0/1 – – – – – – – – – – Pennant stitch (Model 1546) The pennant stitch is one of the many types of covering stitches.
2:12 Utility stitches and practical sewing Buttonholes Buttonholes are generally sewn onto a piece of doubled fabric. However, for some fabrics, e.g. silk, organza and viscose, it is necessary to use stabilizer to prevent the fabric from contracting while sewing. To produce beautiful seams, embroidering or darning threads are ideal. stitch Sewing buttonholes is very easy with all the models with push button controls since the fabric does not have to be turned.

Take care to ensure that the rows overlap. Repairing tears On tears, frayed edges or small holes lay a piece of fabric under the reverse side of the fabric. The underlayed fabric reinforces the workpiece and ensures perfect repair. • Lay a piece of fabric underneath the damaged fabric.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:19 Sewing on zippers There are various methods of sewing on zippers. For skirts, we recommend the fully concealed zipper, for men’s and ladies’ trousers the semi concealed zipper. Various zippers are available. We recommend using a metal zipper for strong fabrics such as denim. For all other fabrics we recommend a plastic zipper. It is important for all types of zippers to sew very close to the edge of the teeth of the zipper.
2:20 Utility stitches and practical sewing Fully concealed, sew-in zipper • Insert the zipper foot on the right side. • Baste in the zipper and lay it underneath the presser foot so that the teeth of the zipper run alongside the foot. • Stitch in half of the zipper, leave the needle in the fabric, raise the presser foot and close the zipper. • Now you can continue sewing the seam up to the end of the zipper and sew the cross seam. • Sew the second half of the zipper parallel at the same distance.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:21 The trouser zipper • Iron the seam allowances, taking care to ensure that the underlap extends by about 4 mm. • Baste the zipper under the underlap so that the teeth are visible. • Insert the zipper foot on the right side and move the needle to the right needle position . • Stitch along the edge of the zipper. • Just before the end of the seam, open the zipper and Ànish sewing the seam.
2:22 Utility stitches and practical sewing Stabilizing edges With the hemmer foot you can hem blouses, silk scarves and valances with ease, without having to pre-iron the fabric edges. The hemming prevents the edges from fraying and a clean, durable edge is the result. • Fold the beginning of the fabric edge over twice (approx. 2 mm) • Leave the needle in the fabric, raise the presser foot and insert the fabric into the hemmer foot scroll.
Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:23 Inserting lace You can achieve a beautiful effect by inserting lace, e.g. on babywear and children’s clothing. • First the lace is basted onto the right side of the fabric. • Sew on both sides of the lace at a narrow margin. • The fabric underneath the lace is cut down the middle and ironed to the side. • Sew over both edges of the lace with a small, dense, zigzag stitch (stitch width 2-4 mm). stitch • Cut back the extra fabric.
2:24 Utility stitches and practical sewing Shell-edging Shell-edging is attractive on thin, soft fabrics such as silk and Bastiste. It is often used as a decorative edging on lingerie. The higher the needle thread tension, the deeper the shell edge scallop. • Take care that the fabric only runs half underneath the presser foot while sewing. This intensiÀes the effect of the shelledging. Tip: By sewing a colored woollen or 12 wt.

3:2 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques To enhance home textiles or garments, select different stitches, using different thread/fabric colors or vary length and width of the stitches. For decorative stitches we recommend using special embroidery threads which are available from your Pfaff dealer. Use stabilizer under the fabric. This prevents the fabric from pulling. Use a magic pen or marking chalk to mark a line for your Àrst row of stitching.
Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques 3:3 Borders with a combination of stitches Combinations with colored thread (only on select 1546) (only on select 1546) By combining different stitches you can easily achieve embroidery effects. This is a simple way to embellish tablecloths and garments. Additional effects can be produced with different colored thread. Multi-colored thread was used for the middle border in this example. You can purchase it in a great variety of shades from your PFAFF dealer.
3:4 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques Monograms You can embroider initials of your own design using the darning foot and stitch G (1546), E (1536/1526), stitch width 2.5-5 . Sewing this way without a set pattern does, however, require a little practice. • Draw the initials onto the fabric with an invisible-ink marker. • Drop the feed dog. Insert the darning foot and lower the presser bar into the free-motion/darning position (see page 2:17). • Place stabilizer under the fabric.
Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques 3:5 Embroidering with a dense zigzag stitch/Tapering Tapering is easy with your select sewing machine. By adjusting the width of this dense zigzag stitch you can create interesting embroidery. Even embroidering • Place stabilizer under the fabric. • Set needle thread tension to “buttonhole”, select zigzag stitch G (1546), E (1536/1526), set stitch length to “buttonhole” and select the center needle position.
3:6 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques Floral embroidery Embroidering corners For this Áower arrangement, only a dense zigzag stitch was used in combination with the variable stitch width and the various needle positions. By changing the stitch width during sewing of dense zigzag stitches you can embroider corners with 45 degree angles. • Place stabilizer under the fabric. • Draw the contures of a Áower motif with a self-erasing textile pen.
Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques 3:7 Decorative buttonhole Appliqué This buttonhole is a beautiful alternative to the traditional buttonhole (see page 2:12-2:13). Since you determine the width of the buttonhole seam, the buttonhole can have a width of up to 10 mm. Appliqués are quickly made and always produce a beautiful fancy effect. By using different fabrics and patterns you can sew many different variations.
3:8 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques Richelieu Eyelet embroidery This artistic form of eyelet and insert embroidery is easy to sew with your sewing machine. Traditional eyelet embroidery which previously had to be made laboriously by hand can now be made quite easily with the help of an eyelet plate (special accessory). • Using a magic marker, draw your motif onto the right side of the fabric.
Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques 3:9 Patchwork quilt And this is how it’s done: Patchwork and quilting are traditional handicraft techniques which were originally used by North American pioneer women to make use of left-over fabric. Over the years it has developed into a creative hobby. • Cut the pieces necessary for your quilt top, making sure to include a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6 mm). Traditionally patchwork was sewn by hand.
3:10 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques Hemstitch seam The hemstitch seam is an embroidery technique and can be used to secure edges on table linen as well as for decoration on clothing. For hemstitching you will require a wing needle and natural Àber, woven fabric that you can easily pull single threads. Lightweight darning thread is particularly suitable.
