Twin Needle Sewing; Cross Stitch - Pfaff perfomance 2058 Owner's Manual

Twin needle sewing

Decorative effects can be achieved using a twin needle. The picture
shows what beautiful borders can be created with just a little
imagination! Twin needle sewing is particularly effective if you use
decorative sewing threads in matching colors.
• Change and thread the needle. See page 2:13 for how to thread a
twin needle.
• Choose the stitch you would like to sew with the twin needle.
• Select the twin needle function by touching the twin needle icon in
the more options window (8).
• To change the stitch width, long touch the twin needle icon and
a pop-up window opens. The needle width can be set with the
function field buttons (5). This will limit the stitch width so the
needle is not broken on decorative stitches. Touch the screen or step
on the foot control to close the dialogue window.
The twin needle function remains active if the stitch has been changed,
or after the machine has been turned off and back on. The twin needle
function must be turned off when you remove the twin needle from
the machine.
To turn the function off, touch the twin needle icon and confirm by
touching "ok".

Cross stitch

No other embroidery technique is as closely associated with the term
"needlework" as cross stitching. With your sewing machine and its
wide range of cross stitches this traditional embroidery technique
can be created remarkably easily and quickly. Whether you select
one of the pre-programmed cross stitch borders or create your own
combination with the cross stitches these look handsewn 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 decorative foot no. 2A. Its red guide-markings are exactly
equal to the size of the cross stitches.
Note: When combining cross stitches, the start and end points of
the respective cross-stitch are important. A cross stitch that finishes
on the right can always be combined with a cross-stitch that starts
to the right. The starting and end points of the cross stitches are
marked by a circle and a dot on the stitch lid.
