Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3 mm. Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron. Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics. When sewing over thick intersections t is advis able to cut away seam allowances.

N 4 a b c lingerie buttonholes prog_____ -- : Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double material. In spite of this, a piece of paper should be placed underneath during sewing. First mark the spacings and the distance from the edge. The points thus obtained always mark the beginning of sewing. Pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front before beginning the buttonhole. Sew the first lengthwise seam at the required length (Fig. 1 a).

z B Changing the buttonhole stitch length With the stitch length key (125), the buttonholf seams can be set more densely or loosely. Buttonholes with gimp thread In the case of elastic materials, it is possible thai the button holes extend. Therefore, the button hole strip should be strengthened with interlininç. material. In order to retain the shape of the button hole, use gimp thread if possible.
Eyelet buttonholes 14 - Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread Key: press “sew slow” Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear, such as jackets, coats or leisure wear. They should always be sewn with backing material underneath. However, a piece of paper should also be placed underneath during sewing. The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia meter of the button, plus its height. The distance from the front should be equal to the buttonhole width.
Cutting buttonholes open When you cut open a buttonhole it is important not to damage the bartacks. To avoid this, insert the seam ripper about 1 mm away from the bartack. Now carefully cut the buttonhole open to the middle, then repeat this from the bartack at the other end (Fig. 1). If you have no punch pliers to cut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a pair of pointed scissors.

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).
U Dual feed Pfaff offer the only household sewing machine in the world with built in dual feed. By this means, the material is not only fed from below, but also from above simultaneously. During processing of long fabric panels, such as curtains and side curtains, etc., there is no shifting of the material plies. Also during assembly of checked or striped fabric panels the material is fed exactly by the dual feed. Especially during processing of delicatee mate rials, no seam pucker results.
I Sewing tips for different materials Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and tension. Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium stitch length. Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3 mm. Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron. Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics. When sewing over thick intersections it is advis able to cut away seam allowances.

Shirring with straight stitch prog -- - 4 mm Stitch length: In order to obtain consistent gather with straight stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the fabric taut a little with your hands, because with long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1). After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang ing.

Because elastic threads are much thicker than an ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin case has to be set looser. The greater the bobbin thread tension the greater the shirring effect.

7- b a 0 J 2 Lingerie buttonholes prog tJ Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double material. In spite of this, a piece of paper should be placed underneath during sewing. First mark the spacings and the distance from the edge. The points thus obtained always mark the beginning of sewing. Pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front before beginning the buttonhole. Sew the first lengthwise seam at the required length (Fig. la).

I Sew last bartack. • This change will be maintained for the follow ing buttonholes. — Adaption of buttonhole length garment may consist of different numbers of abric plies, e. g.
Changing the buttonhole stitch length With the stitch length key (125), the buttonhole seams can be set more densely or loosely. Buttonholes with gimp thread In the case of elastic materials, it is possible that the button holes extend. Therefore, the button hole strip should be strengthened with interlining material. In order to retain the shape of the button hole, use gimp thread if possible.
Adapting buttonhole seams with the balance key Eyelet buttonholes prog 14 -- -- -3+ Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread press “sew slow” Key: Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear, such as jackets, coats or leisure wear. They should always be sewn with backing material underneath. However, a piece of paper should also be placed underneath during sewing. The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia meter of the button, plus its height.
Cutting buttonholes open When cutting open the buttonhole it is important not to damage the bartacks. In order to avoid this, insert a dresspin crosswise in front of each tack. Insert the point of the ripper in the middle of the buttonhole seam and cut open one half carefully, then cut open the other half in the opposite direc tion. If you have no punch pliers to cut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a pair of pointed scissors.

Insert system 130/705 H needle. Needle bent or blunt. Insert new needle. Machine threaded improperly. Check threading. Needle too thin for thread used. Insert thicker needle. 2. Needle thread breaks For any of the above reasons. See par. 1 above. Thread tension too strong. Regulate thread tensions.
Cause: Remedy: 5. Machine feeds irregularly or not at all Lint has accumulated between tooth rows of feed dog. Remove needle plate and remove lint with a soft brush. Feed dog lowered. (Slide control is at right). Push slide control to the left. 6. Machine runs with difficulty Thread ends in hook raceway. Remove thread ends and put one drop of oil into hook raceway. 7.
