Exclusive built-in dual feed lets you do things even experts find difficult.

Even experts find it difficult to match patterns and plaids when sewing slip pery silks and synthetics But easy matching is automatic with Pfaffs exclusive built-in dual feed. When two or more fabric layers are fed simultaneously through conven tional sewing machines, there is always the possibility of slippage The exclusive Pfaff snlutiun ist built in dual feed, a walking foot that simul taneously feeds the fabric from above as the feed dog moves it trom below. You can sew up to 12 fabric layers without fear of slippage

Working with straight stitch, utility- and stretch stitch

ER ER ER ER ER 1 Tips for embroidering ER and sewing with the Pfaff Creative 1472 ER • Betore you begin, tirst try sewing on a piece of ER waste fabric. • Check the stitch formation and tension. • Secure the beginning and end of the seam by ER pressing ‘tie-ott/button-hole” key 19 • For sewing light, soft and stretch materials hold the thread ends at the beginning of ER sewing (Fig 1) • Withcrossseams,suchaslap-felledseamS,We recommend cuffing out the fold and pressing the seam. This wilt 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” Top-stitching collar points • Insert a thread into each collar point before beginning to sew and leave approximately 10 cm of thread hanging When stitching the cor ner, you pull on the threads of the respective corner for the first stitches in sewing direction. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig 3)

4 For top-stitching edges, especially in the case of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and a straight sewing foot with round needle hole can produce good sewing results (special accessories). • Sewing aid for thick seams In order to 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)

Top-stitch seams

Buttonhole thread can also be wound on the bob bin and used as bobbin thread In this case, sewing thread should be used in the needle. For this sewing job the needle thread tension must be set relatively high. For topstitching, the fabric is placed in the machine wrong side up. Select the longest stitch. For topstitching, a No. 80 needle may be used • For difficult top-stitch seams we recommend using the straight-stitch foot and the roundhole needle plate (special accessory). • Before you fit these, set the needle at its middle position.

Through adjustment of the needle (needle posi tion), certain sewing work can be carried out easier. For example, if you wish to stitch at a nar row margin such as on collars or when inserting zippers, you select the required needle position. • For changing the needle position, the needle must always be in the highest position. Left needle position Program: 01 The left needle position is also shown by the sym bol E to the left of the stitch width number in the display. With key 8 + the needle position can be changed from left to right for 19 different posi tions.

Stitch length 3 to 4 mm Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tensionfree on bobbin) Needle thread: sewing thread For sewing with elastic threads we recommend buying an additional bobbin case. Because elastic threads are much thicker than an ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin case has to be set looser The greater the bobbin thread tension the greater the shirring effect. The most statable fabrics are nylon, satin, batiste and fine-knit fabrics The amount of gathering can be determined by testing on a piece of waste fabric Sew the seams at about toot width Tie oft the seams on the reverse fabric side at the begin ning and end of the seams (Fig. 1) If there are several parallel seams, the material must be stretched to its original width during sewing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregu tar.

Sewing thread: embroidering and darning thread The darning program 94 is mainly intended for darning damaged spots Stitch over the damaged spot at the required length, then press the “reverse’ key. The length of the darning seam is now memorized in the computer. The Pfaff Crea tive then automatically stitches over the damaged area. The programmed darn size can then be repeated as often as required. If the worn area is wider than the darning program, the darning program must be repeated several times until the damaged spot has been covered completely. Depending on the fabric, the darn may turn out one-sided If so, this can he compensated by hal ance key 5 Example: Fig. 1: Using balance key, select 1 to + 3 or more, if required.

When the damaged spot has been covered completely, turn the work through 90” and darn at right angles to the preceding row of stitches (see Fig. 4). You determine the length of the darning stitches by the rate at which you move the fabric back and forth For mending you can place the damaged part of the fabric in an embroidery hoop

Stitch length. 25—30 mm Key: needle down There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks They can be inserted concealed or open, as required The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on the right, depending on the work (Figs 1 and 2). Fully concealed zippers Baste the zipper in first. Snap the zipper foot in at the right (Fig 1). Place the open zipper under the footsothatitsright handguideedgemovesalong the zipper teeth (Fig 3) By changing ttie needle position (see page 53) the zipper can be stitched in at a narrow depth Sew about half the seam at the required depth, leave the needle down in the material, raise the zipper foot and close the zipper (Fig 4). Then lower the foot again, continue stitch ing until you reach the end of the zipper and sew across this end. Sew along the other side of the zipper parallel to the edge and at the same distance as the first seam Shortly before you reach the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise the sewing foot, open the zipper (Fig. 5), lower the foot again and sew to the end of the seam Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel seams If the sewing foot shoe is engaged at the right, the needle must only be varied to the right. If the shoe is engaged at the left, the needle must only be varied to the left.

Iron the fly edge Baste the closed zipper under neath the pressed right-hand fly edge so that its teeth are still visible Pin facing strip “A” to the underside and stitch it down at the same time as you sew on the zipper. The zipper teeth move along the right-hand guide edge (Fig 1). Shortly before you reach the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise the sewing foot and open the zipper. Then lower the font again and sew the seam to the end Close the zipper. Fold the right edge over the left and pin it in place according to the seam line. Then baste in the left zipper chain (Fig. 2). Open the zipper Attach the edge guide and adjust it so that its finger moves along the fabric edge (Fig 3). Shortly before you reach the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise the sewing foot and close the zipper Then lower the foot again and sew to the end of the seam Secure the end of the zipper seam with a tack. Our sewing tip: If a zipper jams after dry cleaning, rub candle wax or a piece of soap over its teeth It can then be opened and closed without any effort.

Note If you wish to place your seam as close as possihlr to the zipper, select program 01 instead of 00 anc use the various needle positions To sew zipper with foot to the left of zipper, wc recommend right needle position 5, and with fool to the right of zipper, left needle position 5.

Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double material In spite of this, a piece of paper should be placed underneath during sewing. First draw the spacings and the distance from the edge This point always marks the beginning of sewing Ten buttonhole lengths are stored in the compu ter. from 7,0 to 16 mm. On program selection a programmed buttonhole length of 14 mm and a buttonhole width of 4 mm appear in the display. Select the length of the but tonhole using stitch length keys 7 (Fig. 1) The machine will automatically sew the selected but tonhole Before beginning the buttonhole pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front. For the following buttonholes it is best to lift the fabric a httle in order not to affect teeding The sewing speed should always be the same

Correcting a buttonhole

Adapting the buttonhole seam lengths with the balance keys Wilh “balance” keys 5 the left buttonhole seam length can be adapted to the ught one Sew a sample buttonhole first. Example’ If the left seam is too short tFig. 4a) Select balance 4-1 to 4-3 with key, or more if required. If the left seam is too long (Fig 4b) Select balance —1 to —2 with key, or more if required. • Sew the first buttonhole seam at the required length and • the first bartack. • Press balance keys 5, “-f’ or” and adjust the second buttonhole seam length to the first one (Figs. 4a, 4b). • Sew last bartack. The change made in this way will be main tained for the following buttonholes.

If a buttonhole does not turn out well, cancel it by pressing “pattern start” key 26 and sew it again

Changing the buttonhole width For every type of fabric, the corresponding but tonhole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For heavy materials select a wide buttonhole and for light materials a narrow one. With stitch width keys 8, you determine the required buttonhole width. The length of the cut changes automati cally (Fg 5) A buttonhole width of 4mm is stored

Determining the second bartack (semi-automatic) If you wish to determine the second bartack in a programmed buttonhole, press “tie off/button hole” key 19 (Fig. 2) A dash flashes in display 21 (Fig 3) at the right of program 18. The machine now sews slowly just before the end of the second seam. When both seams are the same length, press key 19 again. The bartack is now sewn and tied off (Fig. 2). This sewing sequence can also be applied for fully automatic buttonholes when the two buttonhole seams are not the same length anymore If you wish to sew the next buttonhole fully auto matically, press key 19 again (Same sewing se quence as described on page 78) The flashing dash will then have disappeared. Note: If you interrupt sewing at the reduced sewing speed by releasing the foot control, the machine will return to the normal speed when you start sewing again. After sewing, (see page 94).

Cutting open buttonholes

Sewing on buttons with stems

When you cut open a buttonhole it is important not to damage the bartacks To avoid this, insert the seam ripper about 1 mm away from the bartack. Now carefully cut the buttonhole open to the middle, then repeat this from the bartack at the other end (Fig. 1) If you have no punch pliers to cut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a pair of pointed scissors.

Place a match stick or a toothpick on the button between the two holes and sew the button on as described (Fig. 3). Afterwards remove the matchstick, pull the button and fabric apart, then wrap the stems with the threaded needle- and bobbin thread and knot the thread ends (Figs 4, 5t. To ensure that flat or small buttons do not slip away during sewing we recommend using the normal sewing foot and switching off the top feed. For some buttons it is necessary to change the zigzag width. Finer settings tor sewing on these buttons can be made using program 11. In this case place the button in the way that the needle in right stitch position sticks into the right hole of the button exactly Afterwards adjust zigzag width so that the needle sticks into the left hole of the button exactly

Needle: Double needle Cording seams are especially popular as a deco ration on underwear, dresses, blouses. etc.

Needle: Double needle Lift the needle plate off and pass the gimp thread through the round hole “A”. After that re insert the needle plate Notch ‘B” is the entry groove (Fig 1) Place the roll of gimp thread in front of the machi no Place the beginninq of the gimp thread together with needle thread and bottom threads to the rear under the cording foot. Move the detachable work support against the machine. Choose a gimp thread of the same colour as the outer fahric.

Cording is always sewn with two needle threads. Place a spool of thread on each spool pin and secure it in position with the corresponding unwinding disc Place one thread to the right, and the other to the lett of ddc “C” (Fig. 3a) Then con tinue threading the machine, as usual. Do not twist the two threads. Thread each thread separa tely through thread guides and the needle eye (Fig 3h) The thread tension should be adapted to every fabric type. The tighter the tension, the more pro minent the cording appears. Fig 1 shows how the cording tongue is engaged For thin materials, the cording foot with 7 grooves, the small cording tongue and a double needle of up to 2 mm are used. For thicker materials, the cording foot with 5 grooves, the large cording tongue and the neces sary double needle are used.

Exclusive built-in dual feed lets you do things even experts find difficult Even experts find it difficult to match patterns and plaids when sewing slip pery silks and synthetics. But easy matching is automatic with Pfaffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exclusive built-in dual feed. When two or more fabric layers are fed simultaneously through conven tional sewing machines, there is always the possibility of slippage. The exclusive Pfaff solution ist built-in dual feed, a walking foot that simul taneously feeds the fabric from above as the feed dog moves it from below. You can sew up to 12 fabric layers without fear of slippage.

Needle thread tension 39 A = setting mark Important! In order to obtain good sewing results it is important to check the following: 1. that the needle is in good order, 2. and the needle- or bobbin thread tension is correct. The bobbin thread tension is adjusted correctly at the works. If on checking the bobbin thread ten sion (see page 16) you find it is neces sary to correct it, turn the adjusting screw by small amounts only. Checking the needle thread tension: The normal setting is from 3 to 5. The higher the number, the tighter the thread tension. This is checked with a wide zigzag stitch (program 10). Sew a short seam. The thread interlace should lie exactly between the two material plies. Range 3 is for buttonhole sewing.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Raising the presser bar lifter: When you have finished a seam the needle must be fully raised, Then raise presser bar lifter 17.

I Important! When the main switch is pressed to switch the machine on, the sewing lamp lights up. When the machine is switched off by pressing the main switch, removing the mains plug or by power failure, the program memory in the computer is saved by a battery back-up. When the machine is switched on again, program 00 (straight stitch with needle in middle position) appears. All program combinations entered into any memory are retained automatically. If a program is entered during sewing, it will not become effective until the machine is stopped and the foot con trol is pressed again. The stitch width and stitch length can be changed during sewing. For bobbin winding disengage the sewing action. After bobbin winding engage the sewing action again. Owing to the use of electronic compo nents this machine becomes warm during operation. This is quite normal and of no consequence. Batteries: When the machine is switched on and the word “battery” is displayed contin uously in four languages, the battery tension is no longer sufficient. The batteries must then be replaced by new ones (see page 43). When a pro gram is selected the word “battery” disappears from the display.

N Electronic bobbin thread monitoring: Bobbin thread monitor 14 flashes before bobbin thread runs out, It goes out again when the full bobbin is inserted and sewing is continued. Important: cover 33 must always be closed. Top and bottom needle position: When the machine stops, the needle goes up. Press key 15 for the needle down position. Display A then lights up and the needle will remain down when sewing is stopped. Press key 15 again. The indicator light goes out and the needle rises and stays at the top posi tion.

N Electronic actual speed selection: Press key 16 for slow sewing. Display B lights up. The machine sews at half speed. Press key 16 again. The display goes out and the machine sews again at full speed. Tie-off/buttonhole. To sew: Press key 19: Indicator C lights up, the pro grammed seam is tied off at the begin ning, then indicator light C goes out. If you push the key during sewing, the light goes on and a seam is tied off immediately, whereas a pattern is tied off at the end. The display then goes out. Buttonhole: In buttonhole pro grams 90 and 91, key 19 is used for determining and memorizing the length. For more details please see pages 78-91. Reverse sewing: Press key 18 before you start sewing. Indicator light D lights up and the machine sews back wards permanently. If you press the key during sewing, the light will not go on and the machine will sew back wards as long as the key is pressed. Darning: The lengths of darning pro gram 94 are also determined and memorized with key 18.

Balance, or correction of reverse stitches The balance control is used for correcting pattern- or program combinations which are sewn with a slight shift owing to influences by the type of material or working method used. The stitch length of the reverse stit ches of a pattern is corrected from 7 to + 7; the normal position is “0. The minus settings shorten the reverse stitches and the patterns or programs become longer, and the plus “+‘ settings lengthen the reverse stitches; patterns or programs become shorter.

Working with straight stitch, utility- and stretch stitch

Tips for embroidering and sewing with the Pfaff Creative 1472 • Before you begin, first try sewing on a piece of waste fabric. • Check the stitch formation and tension. • Secure the beginning and end of the seam by pressing “tie-off/button-hole” key 19. • For 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” Top-stitching collar points • Insert a thread into each collar point before beginning to sew and leave approximately 10 cm of thread hanging. When stitching the cor ner, you pull on the threads of the respective corner for the first stitches in sewing direction. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig. 3).

Place the workpiece under the sewing foot. Sew one stitch. After that, pull the material by the required stitch length to the rear. Repeat this procedure until basting is completed. In order to avoid shift ing of the material plies during securing of pat terned materials, insert dress pins crosswise to the basting direction. Shifting of the material plies is thus largely avoided.

/1 Shirring with straight stitch

ogTZjj1 00

Stitch length: 4 mm In order to obtain consistent gather with straight stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the fabric taut a little with your hands, because with long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1). After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at about sewing-foot width. Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them. By this means you determine the amount of gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in order to ensure they do not break during gather ng. Do not forget to tie off the threads at the beginning and end of the seams afterwards (Fig. 2).

Finally, pull the threads with your hand, and determine the amount of gather yourself. Knot the threads on the inside (see Fig. 1). Instead of elastic thread it is also possible to use heavy cotton thread (see Fig. 2). Pull the fabric to the required width and stitch the threads down. This provides you with a fixed shirred edge.

Stitch length: 3 to 4 mm Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tensionfree on bobbin) Needle thread: sewing thread For sewing with elastic threads we recommend buying an additional bobbin case. Because elastic threads are much thicker than an ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin case has to be set looser. The greater the bobbin thread tension the greater the shirring effect. The most suitable fabrics are nylon, satin, batiste and fine-knit fabrics. The amount of gathering can be determined by testing on a piece of waste fabric. Sew the seams at about foot width. Tie off the seams on the reverse fabric side at the begin ning and end of the seams (Fig. 1). If there are several parallel seams, the material must be stretched to its original width during sewing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregu lar. Do not forget to carry out a sewing test.

Stitch over the damaged spot at the required length, then press the “reverse’ key. The length of the darning seam is now memorized in the computer. The Pfaff Crea tive then automatically stitches over the damaged area. The programmed darn size can then be repeated as often as required. If the worn area is wider than the darning program, the darning program must be repeated several times until the damaged spot has been covered completely. Depending on the fabric, the darn may turn out one-sided. If so, this can be compensated by bal ance key 5. Example: Fig. 1: Using balance key, select ÷ 1 to + 3 or more, if required.

Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double material. In spite of this, a piece of paper should be placed underneath during sewing. First draw the spacings and the distance from the edge. This point always marks the beginning of sewing. Ten buttonhole lengths are stored in the compu ter, from 7,0 to 16 mm. On program selection a programmed buttonhole length of 14 mm and a buttonhole width of 4 mm appear in the display. Select the length of the but tonhole using stitch-length keys 7 (Fig. 1). The machine will automatically sew the selected but tonhole. Before beginning the buttonhole pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front. For the following buttonholes it is best to lift the fabric a little in order not to affect feeding. The sewing speed should always be the same.

Correcting a buttonhole

buttonhole with wedge tack buttonhole with lengthwise tack buttonhole with crosswise tack

Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear, such as jackets, coats or casual wear. They should always be sewn with backing material under neath. In spite of this, a piece of paper should be placed underneath during sewing. The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia meter of the button, plus its height. The distance from the front edge should be equal to the button hole width. First mark the spacings and the dis tance from the edge. Mark the buttonhole length from this point to the inside. Sewing isthen always begun from the inside to the outside towards the edge. 16 buttonholes are stored in the computer, from 10 to 40mm On program selection a programmed buttonhole length of 22 mm and a buttonhole width of 6 mm appear in the display. Select the length of the but tonhole using stitch-length keys 7 (Fig. 1). The machine will automatically sew the selected but tonhole. Before beginning the buttonhole pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front.

Changing the buttonhole width For every type of fabric, the corresponding but tonhole width can be determined from 5.5 to 8.5 mm. For heavy materials select a wide buttonhole and for light materials a narrow one. With stitch width keys 8, you determine the required button hole width. The length of the cut changes automa tically (Fig. 7). A buttonhole width of 6 mm is now stored.

Adapting the buttonhole seam length

If you wish to determine the bartack in a pro grammed buttonhole, press “tie-off/buttonhole’ key 19 (Fig. 5). A dash flashes in display 21 at the right side of program 92a, b, or c (Fig. 4). The machine now sews slowly just before the end of the second seam. When both seams are the same length, press key 19 again. The bartack is now sewn and tied off. If you wish to sew the next buttonhole fully auto matically, press key 19 again. (Sewing sequence as described on page 90). The flashing dash will then have disappeared. Note: If you interrupt sewing at the reduced sewing speed by releasing the foot control, the machine will return to the normal speed when you start sewing again. When you are working in the bartack determining mode and have selected bartack design “a”, you have to press the “tie-off/buttonhole” key when the second buttonhole seam has reached the second to last mark of the buttonhole foot. Obser vance of this always ensures correct finishing of the bartack.

A garment may consist of different numbers of fabric plies, e.g. the buttonhole strip may consist of three plies and the collar stand of six owing to the folded seam edge. In this case it is necessary to program the buttonhole for varying numbers of fabric plies in order to maintain the same button hole length as on the three-ply buttonhole strip. —

Buttonhole with gimp thread In the case of elastic materials, it is possible that the buttonholes extend. Therefore, the button hole strip should be reinforced with interlining material. In order to retain the shape of the button hole, use gimp thread if possible. Place the gimp thread over the back ridge “A’, pull taut and jam it into front ridge “B” to the left and right (Fig. 1). (Pull runner fully to the front). The buttonhole sequence is the same as without gimp thread, After completing the buttonhole pull on the left gimp thread (Fig. 2) until the loop is covered up by the bar. This is where the button will be located later. On elastic materials pull the gimp threads through to the reverse side with a needle and tie them off. On normal fabrics the gimp threads can be trimmed immediately behind the last bartack. After sewing, (see page 94).

Before you start sewing press “slow sewing” key 16 (Fig. 6). Sew the first buttonhole seam. When the machine starts sewing slowly (at the beginning of the curve), take the gimp thread from the left of ridge “A”, pull down the thread from ridge “B” by means of a needle and pull it to the rear until a loop appears in needle plate cutout “C” of the but tonhole runner (Fig. 7). Sew the curve and when the machine has again reached its normal speed pull the thread taut and finish sewing the but tonhole.

E E F F Dutting open buttonholes

Sewing on buttons with stems

Nhen you cut open a buttonhole it is important iot to damage the bartacks. To avoid this, insert :he seam ripper about 1 mm away from the bar :ack. Now carefully cut the buttonhole open to the niddle, then repeat this from the bartack at the ther end (Fig. 1). If you have no punch pliers to Dut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a air of pointed scissors.

Place a match stick or a toothpick on the button between the two holes and sew the button on as described (Fig. 3). Afterwards remove the matchstick, pull the button and fabric apart, then wrap the stems with the threaded needle- and bobbin thread and knot the thread ends (Figs. 4, 5). To ensure that flat or small buttons do not slip away during sewing we recommend using the normal sewing foot and switching off the topfeed. For some buttons it is necessary to change the zigzag width. Finer settings for sewing on these buttons can be made using program 11. In this case place the button in the way that the needle in right stitch position sticks into the right hole of the button exactly. Afterwards adjust zigzag width so that the needle sticks into the left hole of the button exactly.

Needle: Double needle Cording seams are especially popular as a deco ration on underwear, dresses, blouses, etc.

Cording sewn with the cording tongue Cording is always sewn with two needle threads. Place a spool of thread on each spool pin and secure it in position with the corresponding unwinding disc. Place one thread to the right, and the other to the left of disc â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? (Fig. 3a). Then con tinue threading the machine, as usual. Do not twist the two threads. Thread each thread separa tely through thread guides and the needle eye (Fig. 3b). The thread tension should be adapted to every fabric type. The tighter the tension, the more pro minent the cording appears. Fig. 1 shows how the cording tongue is engaged. For thin materials, the cording foot with 7 grooves, the small cording tongue and a double needle of up to 2 mm are used. For thicker materials, the cording foot with 5 grooves, the large cording tongue and the neces sary double needle are used. If you wish to sew several cordings beside each another, use the grooves of the cording foot (Fig. 2). For greater distances we recommend using the edge guide.

Sew over the raw edges of the appliqué with nar row, dense zigzag (purl) stitches (Fig. 3). To make the edge of the appliqué more promi nent, insert a filler cord in the seam. Ready-made fabric appliqués can be applied much more easily. Before you cut out the design, iron on a fusible backing. This reinforcesthe mate rial, makes it easier to cut, and prevents fraying. Baste on the design. Place three layers of tissue paper under the fabric and sew along the edges of the design with dense, narrow zigzag stitches. In this way, a goocHooking seam is produced. • For cording we recommend the appliqué foot (special accessory)

Quilting

â&#x20AC;˘ Edge guide Seams stitched on articles filled with cotton wool or some other soft padding have a very prominent effect. For this purpose, batting, foam plastic or flannel is placed between the top ply and a light weight bottom ply (Fig. 3). To keep the fabric plies and the padding in place, baste them together with rows of long basting stitches spread over the whole area. Squares and diamonds can be sewn on the straight or on the bias of the material, On fabrics with regular patterns stitch between the patterns or around them. The spacing between seams can be set as requi red by adjusting the guide accordingly. Trace the seam line for the first seam on the fabric or guide the quilting gauge along the straight-cut fabric edge. When you have completed the first seam move the work sideways so that the quilting gauge runs along the first seam or the traced seam line. For each subsequent seam, guide the gauge finger along the preceding line of stitching (Fig. 1). Quilting can also be done advantageously on pat terned materials. Preparation of the material is the same as describ ed above. Just sew around the contours and you have a very beautiful piece of embroidery (Fig. 2).

Thread: embroidering/darning thread Needle: 130/705 H-LR, size 80 Since leather is a pliable material, an underlay of double-folded paper or light non-woven material (e. g. vylene) should always be used. Do not set the stitches too close, because leather splits easily and cracks in leather show up on the fini shed work.

Flat leather seams Overlap the raw edges by about 1/2 cm. Topstitch both sides at a narrow margin using straight stitch. Instead of straight stitch it is also possible to use zigzag stitch or some other program to over-stitch the double seam. This method of sewing is commonly used for joining parts of diffe rent colours (e. g. patchwork).

Stitch length: 1.5 mm 28 pattern mirror in program 16 Key: Shell edging provides nice trimming, especially on sheer, soft materials. Fold over the fabric edge once along the line which is to be decorated. During sewing, the blindstitches draw in the fabric edge at regular intervals, thus producing a shelledge effect. The stronger the needle thread ten sion, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2). Adding a wool thread in a different colour not only reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive contrast trimming. Place the material under the needle so that it pro trudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blindstitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1).

you have no cross-stitch pattern available, you an design and sew your own pattern. Draw the cross-stitch pattern on graph paper (see Fig. 1). Before beginning to sew, mark the sewing sequence by means of arrows on the drawing. As shown in the above example, indicate the sequence of numbers for every pattern sequ ence —M—. This is required for programming (Fig. 2). Now place the pattern in the direction of the arrow. The number of cross stitches is then entered for each pattern sequence in a free M memory by pressing “mem+” key 48 each time. For sewing, the programmed memories are then selected one after the other, beginning with the first M-memory, Fancy stitching foot No. 2A has red lines on it which make cross-stitch sewing easier for you. The crosswise lines in the foot are for deter mining the beginning of the pattern. i Allow the left metal edge in the window of the foot to move exactly along the line of the pat tern sewn previously, in order to avoid spa cings occurring between adjoining patterns.

• When sewing is begun the needle always ent ers in the middle of the foot. The red dot on the pattern marks each starting point. • In order to shift individual cross stitches, 71 from left to right, press the pattern reverse key beforehand. • The mirroring of program 71 is indicated in the computer by a dash after figure 71. • The illustrations on this and the following pages provide some suggestions of ways to make attractive cross-stitch patterns with your Creative, instead of by hand.
