Cross Stitch; Free Motion Sewing - Pfaff creative 2124 Owner's Manual

Cross Stitch

No other sewing technique is as closely associated with the term
needlework as cross-stitching. With your Pfaff creative 2124
and the two cross stitches, no. 36 and 37 this traditional sewing
technique can be created remarkably easily and quickly. The
pre-programmed cross stitches give a hand sewn look 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 fancy stitch foot no. 2.

Free Motion Sewing

With Free Motion Sewing you can create the most fantastic work.
It is possible to sew just as you would draw with a pencil, using
the various types of threads that are on the market today and
your Pfaff creative 2124. You can also vary the shade of your Free
Motion Sewing by sewing in different directions or patterns.

Stitch Straight stitch/Zigzag
Thread your machine with a good quality cotton or synthetic
thread. You can use the same thread for bobbin thread, or an
embroidery weight bobbin thread. Hoop your fabric tight as a
drum into a round embroidery hoop. You can use a wooden ring
hoop wrapped with bias binding for a better grip. Select either
the straight stitch or the zigzag. From now on, you control the
stitch length. The movement of the hoop along with the sewing
speed creates the stitch length. Sewing too slowly may cause small
knots to appear on the reverse side of your work.
Important: Never engage the IDT when free motion sewing.
Tip: Use the Free motion quilting foot (optional accessory) for easier viewing
when stitching.
