Stretch blindhem stitch - No 16
The stretch blindhem stitch is especially suitable for stretchy fabrics, because the zigzag in the stitch lets the seam stretch. The hem is nished and sewn at the same time. There is no need to nish the raw edge rst on most knits. Create the blindhem as described above.
Rolled hem with straight stitch - No 1
Use the rolled hem foot no. 7 to nish the edges of blouses, scarves, or rufes without having to iron the edges beforehand. Hemming prevents the edges from fraying and produces a neat and durable edge nish. Double-fold the fabric edge (about 1/8 inch / 3mm per fold). Place the folded fabric edge under the rolled hem foot and sew a few stitches to secure. Turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle is at its lowest point. Raise the presser foot and slide the fabric into the scroll of the foot. While sewing, guide the fabric edge evenly into the foot. When rollhemming, make sure the raw edge of the fabric butts against the left edge of the opening in the rolled hem foot. Be careful that the fabric does not run underneath the right side of the presser foot.
For elastic, knits and stretch fabrics, your sewing machine provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches join multiple layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches can stretch and are more durable than standard stitches.
Closed overlock stitch - No 31 When sewing fabrics that fray easily select stitch 31. With this stitch an additional edge thread protects the fabric edge against further fraying.
Closed overlock stitch - No 36 This stitch is suitable for sewing a hem on your garment. Use foot no. 0 or 3. Fold your fabric 3/8 (1 cm) and stitch the closed overlock on the right side of the folded fabric. When you have nished, cut away the unnecessary fabric.
Stretch knit overlock stitch - No 37 This stitch can be used for open-knit and heavy knit fabrics. Garment seams can be joined effortlessly with this stitch. Tip: Use Blindhem foot No. 3 when sewing overcast seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of the seam at wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right swing of the needle clears the raw edge of the fabric and the pin of the presser foot.
Overlock stitch - No 38 The overlock stitch no. 38 can be used for joining or edge-nishing fabrics that do not fray excessively.
There are 12 buttonhole styles built-in to your sewing machine. Each buttonhole is especially adapted for a particular use and fabric type. Your sewing machine is equipped with the sensormatic buttonhole guide and sensor technology to ensure that every buttonhole is sized accurately. Beautiful buttonholes can be sewn on even the most difcult fabrics like velvet or heavy knits. See page 3:8 for instructions on how to program the size of your buttonhole.

Inserting the sensormatic buttonhole guide Push the metal part of the sensormatic buttonhole guide into the slot under the two arrows at the back of the needle plate. The white plastic part goes over the needle plate, covering the feed dogs. Slide the guide towards you until there is a small gap between the needle plate and the guide as shown in the picture. Inserting the sensormatic buttonhole guide activates the sensor.
Attaching buttonhole foot - No. 5A Attach buttonhole foot No. 5A to sew buttonholes (see Changing the presser foot on page 2:3). Before starting to sew, pull the slide of the foot towards you until the red arrow matches the second red mark.
Buttonhole with gimp cord Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp cord under the satin stitch columns are more stable, durable and professional looking. Use pearl cotton or regular gimp thread. Insert the sensormatic buttonhole guide. Place the center of a length of gimp cord over the metal hook extending from the center back of the buttonhole foot. Pass the cord ends under the foot and pull up into the right and left guides on the front of the presser foot. Snap on the buttonhole foot. Before starting to sew, move the foot to align the arrow with the second red mark. Buttonholes 50, 51, 52 or 53 work well for this technique. Follow the instructions on page 3:8 of how to program the size of your buttonhole. After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of gimp cord until the loop of thread is hidden under the buttonhole bartack. Thread the gimp cord ends into a hand sewing needle and pull them to the wrong side of the garment. Tie the gimp threads and cut off the excess thread.
Eyelet buttonhole with gimp cords Insert the sensormatic buttonhole guide. Place the center of a length of gimp cord over the metal hook extending from the center front of the buttonhole foot. Pass the cord ends under the foot and pull them up into the right and left guides on the back of the presser foot. Snap on the buttonhole foot and pull the slide of the foot towards you until the back white part of the foot touches the back of the slide. The red arrow will match the rst red mark. Before starting to sew, press the needle up/down button (3). See page 3:8 for instructions on how to program the size of your buttonhole.

Cross stitch

No other embroidery technique is as closely associated with the term needlework as cross stitching. With your sewing machine and its wide range of cross stitches this traditional embroidery technique can be created remarkably easily and quickly. Whether you select one of the pre-programmed cross stitch borders or create your own combination with the cross stitches these look handsewn and lend a distinctive character to table linens, towels or clothes. Tips for cross stitch sewing: Always work using the sew slow and needle up/down functions. Attach decorative foot no. 2A. Its red guide-markings are exactly equal to the size of the cross stitches. Note: When combining cross stitches, the start and end points of the respective cross-stitch are important. A cross stitch that nishes on the right can always be combined with a cross-stitch that starts to the right. The starting and end points of the cross stitches are marked by a circle and a dot on the stitch lid.

Tapering

The tapering program for the zigzag stitch allows you to create stitches with an attractive, three-dimensional appearance, which are very easy to sew. Tapering increases or decreases the width of the zigzag stitch during sewing to create symmetric or asymmetric tapers. In stitch no. 3, the stitch width is altered from center needle position so you can create satin points (symmetric tapers). In stitch no. 33, the right position of the needle remains constant while the left position changes; using the mirroring function you can reverse the needle position; this stitch is most suited for corners and borders (asymmetric tapers). Tip: Activate needle up/down (3) when tapering Symmetrical tapering stitch 3 Symmetrical tapering, increase. The width of the zigzag starts with 0mm and becomes wider until it reaches 9mm. Symmetrical tapering, decrease. The width of the zigzag stitch starts at up to 9mm and tapers to 0mm and stops with the needle in the lower position when the reverse button (10) is pressed. Asymmetrical tapering stitch 33 Asymmetrical tapering, increase. Width 0mm to 9mm. Asymmetrical tapering, decrease. Width 9mm to 0mm. Automatic tapering stitch 3 or 33 Increase width Select stitch no. 3 for symmetric tapering or stitch 33, for asymetric tapering. Open the more options menu (8). Activate the automatic increase tapering function and start sewing. The zigzag starts from 0mm and becomes wider until the preset stitch width is reached. If you still have the more options menu open you can see that the increase icon is automatically deactivated and the decrease icon is activated. Stitch the desired length. Decrease width Press the reverse button (10). The width of the zigzag is reduced to 0mm. The machine stops with the needle down and you can pivot the fabric to stitch the corner. In the more options menu the increase icon is activated again. Press the foot control again, and the stitch width increases. You can also touch the tapering decrease icon, to start sewing with the preset stitch width and decrease. Touch the active tapering icon to inactivate the tapering function. Note: Depending on the type of fabric, you might need to adjust the stitch to get a perfect angle. Touch the balance icon and ne tune using the function eld buttons (5).

Nostalgia/Heirloom

Wing needle Sewing with a wing needle (a special needle with a wide, wing-like shaft) creates the look of hemstitching in woven natural ber fabrics by creating holes where the needle goes in and out of the fabric. Replace the standard needle with a wing needle. Choose any stitch that goes back and forth into the same holes several times (130 - 139). Use the recommended presser foot for that stitch. Thread the top and bottom with lightweight thread in color that matches the fabric you are using (remember you want to see the holes that are created and not the thread). Tip: For ne fabrics, place a lightweight tear away stabilizer under stitching. Begin sewing. Use the sew slow button (2) to reduce your speed while using the wing needle.
Hemstitching This is a technique everyone recognizes as embroidered by hand. With your sewing machine, you can produce hemstitching much more quickly and easily. With ten special hemstitches and by changing the stitch length and width, you can create variated hemstitch effects. A wing needle is required for hemstitching work. When entering the fabric the wing needle forms holes which are typical for hemstitching. Hemstitching will be most successful on relatively coarse linen and cotton fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled. If you pull additional threads and sew along the edges close to the threads you have pulled out, you will achieve even more beautiful hemstitching effects as the remaining threads are bundled.
Your sewing machine stores stitch and alphabet sequences in the memories of the machine. The sequence is stored and remains in the memory until you overwrite or delete it. You can store up to 99 stitches or letters in each of the 50 M-memories.
Open the stitch sequence menu There are two ways to enter the stitch sequence menu: 1. When you are in the sewing menu for a stitch you can save the stitch to a sequence by touching m+. The display immediately changes to the stitch sequence menu and you can add more stitches to your sequence.
2. Touch Stitch sequence in the main menu. The display changes to the sequence selection menu. Touch one of the empty M-memories to open the stitch sequence menu and start to create your sequence. If you touch a memory with an already stored sequence you can either choose to create a new sequence (and overwrite the old one), open the already stored sequence (to edit or use it) or delete the stored sequence.
Creating a new stitch sequence
In the stitch sequence menu you can see the selected stitch in the preview eld (A). To insert the stitch to a sequence touch the icon m+. The stitch is added to the action eld (B), to the right of the cursor (D). To delete a stitch from the action eld touch m-. The stitch to the left of the cursor is deleted. If you want to insert or delete a stitch before an already added stitch, activate the action eld (B) by touching it and use the scroll buttons (4) to move the cursor (D) to the wanted position. You can also touch any stitch in the sequence to select it and position the cursor to the right of the selected stitch. The numbers (E) show the position of the selected stitch out of the total number of stitches in your sequence. If a stitch sequence extends over more than one display width, an arrow appears (C) on the left or right border of the action eld, indicating one or more preceding pages. Select stitches to a sequence There are several ways to call up stitches that you wish to add in the stitch sequence: 1. Selection by scroll buttons. Activate the preview eld (A), by touching it. Use the scroll buttons (4) to browse through all stitches, including stitches created and stored in Stitch Creator. To insert a stitch to the sequence touch m+. 2. Selection by repetition. Touching m+ once again inserts the same stitch once more with the same settings. If you wish to insert the same stitch but with changed settings, you can either do the changes to the stitch before inserting the stitch with m+ or after you have inserted the stitch by selecting it in the sequence. 3. Selection by number. Press the selection by number button (7) to open the selection by number keypad. Enter the number of the stitch you wish to use and touch ok. Touch m+ to insert the stitch to the sequence. If you select a stitch that cannot be used in a stitch sequence a popup message is displayed: This stitch cannot be used! Close the pop-up window by touching it. 4. Selection by category. Touch the stitch selection menu icon (F) to open the stitch selection menu. Only categories with stitches that can be used in a stitch sequence are available. Choose a category and then the stitch you wish to use. Touch m+ to insert the stitch to the sequence. From here you can also insert stitches created and stored in Stitch Creator. Choose Stitch Creator sts. and then touch the stitch you wish to insert. Touch m+ to insert the stitch to the sequence. Note: The eyelet stitch, no. 59 and the stippling stitch no. 73, can be used in stitch sequences but cannot be selected by category since the buttonhole and the darning and bartack categories are unavailable. To select stitch no. 59 or 73, use one of the other methods mentioned above.

Alphabets

Your sewing machine can sew entire sequences of letters and words using any of the alphabets in the machine. All alphabets include uppercase letters, special characters and numbers. The Block and the Script alphabets also include lower case letters. The alphabet sequences are created in the alphabet sequence menu and added to the stitch sequence menu. The alphabets can be combined with stitches and permanently stored in the memory. Even if only one letter is to be sewn, it must be added to the stitch sequence menu. Note: All fonts should be sewn with the IDT - Integrated Dual Feed disengaged.
Functions in the alphabet sequence menu Standard alphabet Special characters Numbers and special characters Shift lock. Toggle between upper and lower case letters. Space Size setting. Touch this icon and set the font size by pressing the function eld buttons (5). Eraser. Deletes a selected character from the font input eld. Save to a sequence. Inserts the alphabet sequence in the stitch sequence menu. Mirror. Mirrors a selected character side to side.
Creating an alphabet sequence
Touch the Alphabets icon in the main menu. The alphabet menu opens. Select one of the fonts by touching it. This opens the alphabet sequence menu where you can start typing in your alphabet sequence. The standard alphabet and upper case letters are selected by default. Touch shift to switch to lower case letters (only for the block and script alphabets). Use the keyboard to type in letters and words in the font input eld. If you enter a sequence that is longer than the input eld, the sequence moves to the left, and a small arrow appears on the left border. Any further stitches will be added to the right of the selected character. The selection square always moves to the last entered character. Use the scroll buttons (4) to move the selection square to another character and be able to subsequently delete or insert characters. Delete selected characters by touching the eraser icon. You can alter the font size by touching the size setting icon and using the function eld buttons (5). The font size refers to capital letters. When the size is set before characters are entered, the size setting applies to the entire sequence. If one character is selected the size setting applies to the selected character and all following characters, until a new size is set. The change in size is not reected on the screen until you insert the sequence in the stitch sequence menu. When you are satised with your alphabet sequence, touch m+ to insert it in the stitch sequence menu. In the stitch sequence menu you can change more settings, edit the alphabet sequence or combine it with stitches.

Display incorrect or no display When static electricity is being discharged some segments of the display may fail. The contrast on the display may be disturbed when the machine is cleaned or is transported (display is illegible or dark). Switch off the machine on completion of the sewing operation and then turn it back on again after approx. 10 seconds. Select the desired stitch again. Set the contrast using the contrast adjustment.
If problems remain, contact an authorized Pfaff dealer. Have your sewing machine serviced regularly by your authorized Pfaff dealer. When leaving the machine, even for only a short time, switch off. This is very important if there are any children nearby.
