Sensormatic Free-Motion - Pfaff Creative 4.0 Owner's Manual

Sensormatic free-motion

Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-
motion mode for presser foot 6A. The feed dogs
will lower automatically.
When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser
foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold
the fabric on the stitch plate while the stitch is
being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot
oats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric must
be moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves
up and down with the needle as you are stitching.
Lowering the presser foot height will reduce the
space between the presser foot and the fabric and
eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height
too much. The fabric must still move freely under the
presser foot.
To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic
free-motion mode, long touch the icon (D) and
make adjustments in the pop-up.
Note: Make sure that the IDT is disengaged.
Spring foot free-motion
Activate to set the machine in Spring foot
free-motion mode. The feed dogs will lower
automatically. A spring foot will raise and lower
with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch
plate while the stitch is being formed.
Note: Make sure that the IDT is disengaged.
The open toe free-motion feet are optional and can be
purchased at your local authorized PFAFF® dealer. Do
not use if Sensormatic free-motion is activated, since the
needle might damage the presser foot.
The open toe-free-motion feet, or any spring foot
with light grey plastic housing, can also be used for
embroidery.
Presser foot pressure (E)
In most cases, you do not need to adjust the presser
foot pressure. Specialty techniques may require
an adjustment. The higher the number the more
pressure on the fabric.
Presser foot height embroidery (F)
Adjust the height of the presser foot in embroidery
stitch-out mode.
Some embroideries may build up under the
presser foot. If there is not enough space between
the presser foot and the embroidery, the top
thread will form loops on the underside of the
embroidery. Increase the presser foot height in
small steps until the embroidery moves freely
under the presser foot.
