What to do if...? In this chapter you are suggested solutions if you have a problem with your creative 2170. For further information please contact your Pfaff dealer who will be pleased to help you. Sewing Problem/Cause Remedy The machine skips stitches Did you insert the needle properly? Push the needle fully upwards with its flat side facing the back. Did you insert a wrong needle? Use needle system 130/705 H. Is the needle bent or blunt? Insert a new needle.
Embroidery Problem/Cause Remedy The embroidery design is distorted Did you hoop the fabric strongly enough? The fabric must be tightly hooped, in such a way that no creases form. Is the inner embroidery hoop completely attached to the outer embroidery hoop? Hoop the fabric in such a way that the inner hoop always exactly matches the outer hoop.
