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).
• 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”.
• Thread
the
needle with the needle threader.
Top-stitching collar points
• Insert a thread into each
collar point before
beginning
to sew and
leave approximately
10cm of thread
hanging.
When
stitching the
corner,
you
pull on the
threads
of the respec
five corner for the first stitches in sewing
direc
tion. The material feed is supported in
this
way
and you
obtain
a
beautifully stitched corner
(Fig.
3).
• For top-stitching edges,
especially in the case
of soft materials, a round-hole needle
plate
and
J
a straight-stitch
sewing
foot with round needle
3
hole can produce good
sewing
results
(special
accessories).
•
Sewing aid
for
thick
seams
In orderto ensure uniform feeding
at the begin
ning of
the seam, we recommend supporting
the sewing
foot with a piece of material of
the
same
thickness (Fig, 4).
