Idt (Integrated Dual Feed); Changing The Needle - Pfaff Creative 4.0 Owner's Manual

IDT (Integrated dual feed)

For sewing any fabric precisely PFAFF® creative™
4.0 sewing and embroidery machine provides
the ideal solution: the integrated dual feed, IDT
system. As on industrial machines, the IDT feeds
the fabric from the top and bottom at the same
time. The material is fed precisely. On light fabrics
such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents
puckering of the seam. The even feeding action
also ensures perfect matching of checked and
striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt
projects aligned to prevent shifting of the top
layers.
Engaging the IDT
Important: For all work with the IDT, use presser
feet with the center back cut-out.
Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT down until it
engages.
Disengaging the IDT
Raise the presser foot. Hold the IDT with two
ngers at the ribbed ankle. Pull the IDT down, then
pull it away from you to release the IDT slowly
upward.
