Working With Straight Stitch, Utility And Stretch Stitch; Top-Stitching Collar Points - Pfaff Creative 1473 Instruction Book

• 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-toIe" 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).
