iecnnicai secuon The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed) (Model 2024) For sewing any fabric precisely PFAFF provides the ideal solution: the Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on industrial machines, the IDT feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time. The material is fed precisely. On light fabrics such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics.
Technical sec 1’ Engaging the IDT (model 2024) Important: For all work with the Dual Feed IDT, use presser feet with the center back cut-out. Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT (14) down until it engages. Disengaging the lOT (model 2024) Hold the Dual Feed with two fingers at the ribbed ankle. Press the IDT (14) down, then pull it away from you and release the IDT slowly upward. Stripes and plaids match perfectly due to the even feed of the material to be sewn.
Lowering the feed dog For certain sewing work such as free-motion quilting or darning and when the machine must be cleaned, the feed dog has to be lowered. To do this, open the bobbin door (26) and press slide B fully to the right. Now the feed dog is lowered. To switch on the feed dog press slide B to the left. Raise the presser foot before lowering or raising the feed dog.

Buttonholes Your Expression has the perfect buttonhole for every fabric and garment. Whether you wish to sew buttonholes on jackets, pants (trousers), blouses or stretch fabrics, 2 different buttonholes (1 for 2014) give your garments the professional touch. Insert the buttonhole guide to support the feed motion of the fabric. Place the fabric between the buttonhole foot and the guide. This ensures that the guide moves, rather than the fabric itself, guaranteeing an even feed motion.

*_‘..A’.i.I ii iJIcO Buttonhole with gimp thread Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are more durable and will not stretch. Use pearl cotton or a regular gimp thread approximately the same color as the sewing thread to stitch over. Place the center of a length of gimp thread over the metal bar extending from the center, back of the buttonhole foot. Pass the thread ends under the foot and pull up into the right and left guides on the clamp at the front of the presser foot. Buttonhole No.
bUttOflflO Buttonhole tips: A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on heavy fabrics. • • Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edge. • Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced with watersoluble. tissue paper or other lightweight stabilizer. • Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread).

Felling foot Flat felled seams are particularly strong and are commonly known as jeans seams. Seams on sportswear and children’s wear, blouses and shirts are morexdurable with this technique. You can make these seams particularly decorative by using a sewing thread of a contrasting color. The felling foot is available in two different widths. • Attach the felling foot to the presserfoot holder. Appliqué foot Appliqués are easily sewn and always produce a beautiful effect.
eul ts aria neec , Pintuck foot This classic heirloom sewing technique can be easily duplicated on many types of fabric such as light cotton and linens. Undergarments and children’s clothes are given a nostalgic touch by pintucking. • Attach the pintuck foot • Insert a twin needle on your machine (e.g. 130/705 H-ZWI; 1.6 or 2.0 mm needle spacing; size 80). • Thread the two needles (see page 29). Using a water-soluble marker, draw a placement line for your first pintuck.
— Cording foot Cording is a technique in which pearl thread or a fine cord is overstitched to produce a purl seam . With this you can obtain an effect similar to braiding. App liqués can also be made more effective with this seam . Attach the cording foot Place the pearl thread in the foot so it leads through one of the grooves at the front and lies unde r the presser foot at the back. • Overstitch the pearl thread with a narro w satin stitch. This produces what is known as the purl seam.
Accessories and neec F] F] Knit edge/piping/beading foot Thick seams in knitted fabrics or imitation furs can be sewn easily with the knit edge foot. In order to obtain a perfect seam on knit fabrics (e.g. shoulder seams), we recomm end sewing over a wool thread, pulled slightly taut into the seam. This will give the seam additional strength and keep it from stretching out of shape. Stitch: 15 Stitch length: 3.0 Stitch width: 6.
