Tips for embroid ering and
sewing with the
PFAFF creative 1467
• Before you begin, first sew a test seam on a
scrap piece of the same material.
• Check stitch pattern and tension.
• Secure the beginning and end of the seam by
pressing the "tie-off/button-hole" key.
• When sewing light, soft and stretch materials
hold the thread ends at the beginning of
sewing (Fig. 1).
• With cross seams, such as lap-felled seams, we
recommend cutting out the fold and pressing
the seam. This will provide a flatter cross seam.
• In the case of problem materials, you can
achieve better sewing results with the left
needle position.
• Exact stitching of edges is facilitated by the
marking guide lines on the needle plate or by
an edge guide (Fig. 2).
• If you have to interrupt work during sewing,
e. g. with long fabric panels or upon change of
sewing
direction, select needle position
"down".
• Thread the needle with the needle threader.
Top-stitching collar points
• Insert a thread into each collar point before
2
beginning to sew and leave approximately
10cm of thread hanging. When stitching the
corner, you pull on the threads of the respec
tive corner for the first stitches in sewing direc
tion. The material feed is supported in this way
and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner
(Fig. 3).
• For top-stitching edges, especially in the case
of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and
J
a straight-stitch sewing foot with round needle
3
hole can produce good sewing results (special
accessories).
•
Sewing aid for thick seams
In order to ensure uniform feeding at the begin
ning of the seam, we recommend supporting
the sewing foot with a piece of material of the
same thickness (Fig. 4).
