Blindhem; Sewing In Zippers - Pfaff Passport 2.0 Owner's Manual

Blindhem

The blindhem stitch, number 10 (09 on 2.0), is used
to make invisible hems on skirts, trousers and
home decorating. Use foot number 3 with IDT™
system.
1. Finish the edge of the hem.
2. Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong
side.
3. Fold the hem back on itself so approximately
beyond the fold. The wrong side of your
project should now be facing up.
4. Place the fabric under the presser foot so that
the fold runs along edge guide A.
5. When the needle swings into the fold it should
catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches
are visible on the right side, adjust edge guide
A by turning adjusting screw B until the stitch
that catches the hem just barely shows.
Elastic blindhem stitch
The elastic blindhem stitch, number 11 (10 on 2.0),
is especially suitable for stretchy fabrics, because
the zigzag in the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The

Sewing in zippers

There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow
the directions included with your pattern for best
results.
For all types of zippers it is important to sew close
to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot 4 can be
snapped to the presser foot bar on the left or right,
depending on how you will insert your zipper.
Set the stitch position so the needle enters close to
the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 29
needle positions available for the straight stitch. If
the presser foot is attached on the right side, the
needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot
is attached on the left, the needle must only be
moved to the left.
