L Preparing the machine for bobbing winding Place an empty bobbin so that the black pin of the bobbing winder snaps into the slot of the bobbin.
Winding the bobbin from the spool pin Ô3: Place the sewing thread on the spool holder. To obtain free movement of the thread and hold the thread spool firmly, fit an unwinding disk of the right size for the thread spool. Threading I Place the thread into guide A from the front and pull it counterclockwise through the pre tension device B. Pull the thread under the thread guide C (from back to front). Wind the start of the thread round the bobbin several times in a clockwise direction.

Release the latch and take the empty bobbin out of the bobbin case. hread tension To obtain a perfect seam appearance and durability make sure the needle and bobbin thread tensions are correctly adjusted with regard to each other, i.e. the threads evenly interlace between the two fabric layers.
Inserting the bobbin Insert the full bobbin in the bobbin case. When doing so, pull the thread sideways through slot A. then under tension spring B until it rests in the opening (see arrow). Check: When you pull the thread, the bobbin must turn clockwise. Checking the bobbin thread tension: Hold the bobbin case by the thread and move your hand sharply upwards.
Threading the needle Switch off the master switch Raise the presser foot lifter (51). Place the thread on the spool holder and fit an unwin ding disk of the right size. Using both hands, pull the thread into thread guide A from the front Place the thread from right to left into the pre-tension device B. Now pass it through the left hand-threading slot downwards. Pull the thread around the stop C in the right-hand threading slot and upwards to the take-up lever (40).

“FE PFFF 2040 I Winding a bobbin through the needle It is possible to wind bobbins even when the machine is fully threaded. Raise the presser foot lifter (51) to the top position. Pull the needle thread underneath the presser foot and upward through the right-hand threader slot (34). Place the thread from left to right through the take-up lever (40). Note: The take-up lever must be at its highest position. uide the thread to the right under thread guide C.
A Changing the needle Switch off the master switch To remove: Lower the presser foot and set the needle to its highest position.

Lower the presser foot and insert the needle, pushing it up as far as it will go. Hold the needle and tighten the set screw (52) firmly. Threading the twin needle: Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle.
The IDF System/Integrated Dual Feed (top feed) For sewing difficult materials PFAFF provides the ideal solution: the Integrated Dual Feed, IDF system. As on industrial machines, the IDF feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time. The material is fed precisely. On light or difficult fabrics such as silk or rayon the dual fabric feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics.
Engaging the top feed/IDF Important For all work with the Dual Feed (IDF), cut use the presser feet with the center back out Raise the presser foot Press the top feed (31) downwards until it engages. Disengaging the top feed/IDF Hold the Dual Feed with two fingers at the marked points. Press the top feed (31) down wards a little, then pull it away from you and release the IDF slowly upward (see also fig. on page 32). even feed of the material to be sewn.

Selection of the sewing programs There are three ways of selecting your desired sewing program: 1. With the selection knob (selection key, model 2030): for scrolling backward and forward in the sewing programs. Clockwise in ascending order Counterclockwise = in descending order If you are in the last program, No. 76 (No. 61 in the case of model 2030), and continue to scroll you will return to program No. 0. 2.
Altering pattern sizes With key pairs a. b and c (located to the right of the display) you can change the stitch and/or pattern width and/or pattern length, change the density or the balance of a selected pattern, and select the needle position for straight stitches.

The pattern combinations are stored, after having been sewed once, until you overwrite or delete the memories. The tiptronic 2040 has 6 rn-memories, the tiptronic 2030 has 3 rn-memories. Up to 20 patterns or letters can be stored in each memory.

Fold the seam or hem edge over twice and overstitch with the honeycomb stitch. Due to its high elasticity this stitch is ideal for sewing on elastic, e.g. onto undergarments. If replacing elastic, cut off old elastic close to its edge. If needed gather the fabric edge with the 6 mm long straight edge stitch (see page 74).

To obtain neat and even gathers you should sew two or three rows of gathering stitches. Gathering with elastic thread is particularly suitable for visible, elastic gathering seams such as blouse sleeves, waist seams or neckli nes. — Mark the first gathering line on the right side of the fabric. Sew along this line.

Faggoting stitch Prog. 8 The faggoting stitch creates a very elastic seam with a hem stitching effect It is often used for connecting two finished fabric edges.
Fancy elastic stitch Light-knit mending stitch Prog. 14 The fancy elastic stitch is very useful for fabrics that require a flat seam, e.g. terry cloth. Prog. 23 (Model 2040) The light-knit mending stitch is a stretchable covering stitch. It is very suitable for overstit ching cuffs in stretch materials, e.g. sweatshirts or sportswear. Sew the cuff onto the workpiece with an overlock stitch. Now the seam allowance can be overstit ched from the face side of the fabric.
- - r - - Darning with the elastic stitch Sewing-on patches Prog. 3 The elastic stitch is very suitable for repairing holes, tears and damaged areas. Prog. 3 The best way to darn/repair larger holes is to patch, by covering the damaged area with a piece of new fabric of a matching color. If the area is only slightly damaged, you may sew over it with rows of stitches until it is well covered. No additional backing is needed for these slightly damaged areas.
Smocking - Prog. 1 Smocking is achieved by sewing numerous parallel seams across your fabric to create a gathering effect Smocking is mainly used in children’s wear and heirloom techniques. There are different methods of creating the smocked effect 1) Smocking with gimp thread (non-elastic) For beautiful smocking effects you will need two and one half to three times the desired finished width of fabric.

Sewing in zippers Prog. 1 There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts we recommend inserting a centered zipper. For men’s or ladies’ pants (trousers>, a lapped zipper works best Different types of zippers are available in retail stores: invisible, metal, plastic, jeans and outerwear to name a few. We recommend metal zippers for heavier fabrics such as denim.

“Pattern mirroring” Shell edging is very effective for thin, soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabrics. It is frequently used as an edge finish on undergar ments. Select blind stitch No. 5 and mirror it with the “Pattern mirror” key The tighter the needle thread tension is set, the farther the shell edging will pull in. Serge the raw edge and press the seam allowance to the left. While sewing, make sure the fabric runs under the presser foot at half of the foot width.
