The built-in dual fabric feed (Models 6120, 6150, 6230) For sewing difficult materials PFAFF offers the ideal solution: built-in dual feed. As on industria sewing machines it feeds the material from the top and bottom at the same time. The fabric is fed accurately. On light or difficult materials such as silk and viscose fabrics the dual fabric feed prevents seam puckering. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics (see next page).

Needle thread tension In order to obtain perfect sewing results the needle and bobbin thread tens ions must be correctly adapted to each oth er. The normal setting for utility stitches is 3 to 5. Check the tension using a wide zigzag stitch. The interlace of the two thre ads must lie in the middle of the two fabric plies. If the interlace lies on the top side of the fabric, this means the nee dle thread tension is too tight. If it lies on the rev erse side, the needle thread tension is set too loose.
