Dropping The Feed Dog; Stitch Length Regulation - Pfaff 260 Service Manual

Depending on the type of work the machine is intended to perform, it can be
supplied not only with an ordinary feed dog, but also with feed dogs featur-
ing a coarse or flne tooth cut.
Dropping the Feed Dog
The feed dog is dropped for darning, embroidering and button sewing. To
lower the feed dog (Fig. 21), turn drop feed control V clockwise (Fig. 22). The
fabric will cease feeding. When the control is flicked back to its normal posi-
tion, the feed dog wi ll show a full tooth above the needle plate as it advances
(Fig. 19), thus automatically resuming the feeding of the fabric.

Stitch Length Regulation
The stitch length d ial (Fig. 23) has two graduated sections of the some size,
one from 0 to l, and the other from l to 4. This feature greatly facilitates the
fine regulation of the sti1ch length for satin stitching. The dial can also be
set to any intermediate length between the graduation marks.
