Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration
on other fabric but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring
may be very difficult or impossible to remove.
Fleece and denim fabric, especially red and blue, often contain a lot
of excess dye.
If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains
a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing to avoid the
discoloring.

Straight stitch - No 1
Stitch no. 1 is the basic straight stitch in center needle position. The
stitch length can be increased up to 6mm. Your sewing machine has 19
needle positions that can be adjusted by the needle position icon and
function field buttons (5).
Change the needle position of the straight stitch to sew in a zipper or
topstitch along the edge of a collar.
Use the needle up/down button (3) to easily pivot at collar points.
Sewing in zippers - No 1
There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow the directions
included with your pattern for best results.
The zipper foot can be snapped to the presser foot ankle on the left or
right, depending on how you will insert your zipper.
Important: If the presser foot is attached on the right side, the
needle must be moved to the right. If the foot is attached on the left,
the needle must be moved to the left.
For all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the
zipper. Set the needle position so it enters close to the edge of the
zipper teeth by using one of the 19 needle positions available.

Buttonholes
There are 12 buttonhole styles built-in to your sewing machine. Each
buttonhole is especially adapted for a particular use and fabric type.
Your sewing machine is equipped with the sensormatic buttonhole
guide and sensor technology to ensure that every buttonhole is sized
accurately. Beautiful buttonholes can be sewn on even the most
difficult fabrics like velvet or heavy knits.

Buttonhole tips
• Buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edge,
may sometimes not feed optimally with the buttonhole foot because
of the bulk at the edge of the fabric. In this case, use presser foot 1A
with the Integrated Dual Feed engaged.
• Buttonholes should always be stabilized before sewing.
• Fabrics that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced with water-
soluble or lightweight stabilizer.
• Buttonholes are particularly stable and durable if a gimp cord is
inserted while sewing.
• Linen buttonholes are particularly attractive if you use a heavier-
weight thread and a topstitch needle.
• Buttonholes are normally selected a little larger than the button
diameter. It is important to always sew a test buttonhole on the
same fabric/stabilizer as your project to be sure that you have
selected the correct size.

Sewing on buttons - No 60
The Button sewing program no. 60 allows you to sew on two and four
hole buttons easily.
• Remove the presser foot and lower the feed dogs. (Make sure the
IDT is disengaged).
• Mark the button position on your fabric. Place the button on the
marked fabric.
• Turn the handwheel towards you and position the button so the
needle enters the left hole in the button.
• Lower the presser foot lift. The button will be held in place by the
shank of the foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle also
enters the right hole of the button.
• Continue sewing on the button. The machine will complete the
program and stop.
Tip: You can also use a sew on button foot available from your
authorized Pfaff dealer as an optional accessory.
Eyelets - No 59

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.

Tapering
The tapering program for the zigzag stitch allows you to create stitches
with an attractive, three-dimensional appearance, which are very easy
to sew. Tapering increases or decreases the width of the zigzag stitch
during sewing to create symmetric or asymmetric tapers.
In stitch no. 3, the stitch width is altered from center needle position so
you can create satin points (symmetric tapers).
In stitch no. 33, the right position of the needle remains constant while
m
the left position changes; using the mirroring function you can reverse
the needle position; this stitch is most suited for corners and borders
(asymmetric tapers).
Tip: Activate needle up/down (3) when tapering

Quilting
Quilting and patchwork are traditional techniques to make use of left-
over fabric. Over the years it has developed into a creative hobby.
Traditionally patchwork was sewn by hand. Today your creative ideas
can be realized in a much shorter time with your sewing machine.
A quilt consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of
batting sandwiched between.
Patchwork program
With the patchwork program you can program the machine to stop
sewing at a specific length. This is very useful when piecing the same
size fabric pieces.
For 1/4” quilt seams set up your sewing machine with straight stitch
(no. 1), stitch length 2.5mm, needle position 4 to the right and your IDT
engaged.
Select the patchwork program in the more options menu (8) and touch
”ok”. Now sew your seam length. When you get to the end of the
seam, press the reverse button (10). The seam is now tied off and can
be repeated automatically. Simply begin to sew again and the same
size seam length will be sewn.
When you are finished with this size, re-choose the patchwork
program. The new seam length will now be programmed
automatically.

Stitch-in-the-Ditch
One way to hold the quilt top, batting and back all together is using
the ”Stitch-in-the-Ditch” method of quilting. Stitching-in-the-ditch
means stitching in the seams in the quilt blocks.
• Set your sewing machine with a straight stitch (no. 1), stitch length
2.5mm, center needle position and the IDT engaged. Use the
optional narrow edge foot or the optional Stitch-in-ditch foot for
optimal guiding.
• Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins
– starting from the middle of your quilt and working out. Place a
pin about every 6 – 8 inches (15 – 20 cm).
• To begin quilting, start sewing from the middle of the quilt and
continue out. Starting from the middle and sewing out will help
keep layers in place. Plan which seams you will actually stitch in.
This stitching will not only hold the quilt together it will also create
the pattern on the quilt back. You do not need to follow every seam
in the quilt, sew every 3 – 4 inches to keep the quilt in place. Of
course you can sew more to create a more decorative pattern for the
back.
Change to a quilting or jeans needle when sewing through thick quilts.
Test sew to make sure your stitching looks the way you want before
you start quilting your piece.

Quilt Appliqués
Appliqués add a special touch to your quilt. There are many different
ways to stitch appliqués to a quilt. One way is to add the appliqué to
the block before the quilt is put together.
• Set your sewing machine for a satin stitch. Choose stitch no. 10,
stitch length 0.4 - 0.5mm, stitch width 3 – 6mm, presser foot 2.
• Fuse the appliqué piece to the block with invisible web.
• Place stabilizer under the block and sew around the appliqué with
the satin stitch. Make sure the stitch is mostly sewn on the appliqué
– covering the raw edge of the appliqué.
Another way to add an appliqué to a quilt is to finish the edge of the
appliqué and sew it on with the hand appliqué stitches no. 83 or 84.
First prepare the appliqué:
• Cut the appliqué shape out of fabric and a piece of lightweight iron
on interfacing.
• Place the right side of the fabric and the rough (iron-on) side of the
interfacing together.
• Use a straight stitch (no. 1), stitch length 2.0mm, center needle
position and sew the fabric and interfacing together around the
outside edge with a 1/4” seam.
• Trim around the appliqué leaving 1/8” seam allowance and clip
into curves. Slash the interfacing, turn the appliqué right side out.
• Finger press the appliqué and place it on the quilt. When you are
satisfied with the position, iron it in place.
Select stitch no. 83 or 84, snap on the optional appliqué foot and sew
around the edge of the appliqué with the straight part of the hand
appliqué stitch. Let the horizontal part of the stitch just catch into the
appliqué. This is the part that will keep the appliqué in place.

Free-motion stippling
Free-motion stippling not only keeps the top, batting and back
together, but it also adds texture and design to your quilt.
• Set your sewing machine for stippling with a straight stitch (no. 1)
and the free-motion program.
• Attach the darning foot No. 6 or the optional Open-toe Free-motion
foot.
• Pin baste your quilt layers.
• Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins
– starting from the middle of your quilt and working out. Place a
pin about every 10 – 12 inches (25 – 30 cm).
• Practice stippling on scraps of fabric and batting. When the feed
dogs are lowered, you move the fabric to determine the stitch
length. Sewing with a constant speed will help to keep the stitches
even. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull
the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right
next to one another to secure the threads. Now move the quilt so
that your stitching creates scrolls and swirls. The stitching should
not cross itself – but travel in swivling stitches all over the quilt.
Tip: Use the Free-motion guide grip to help move the quilt in a
more consistent way. The Quilting table and Open-toe Free-Motion
foot are extra accessories created to make your stippling easier. See
your authorized Pfaff dealer to purchase.

Wing needle
Sewing with a wing needle (a special needle with a wide, wing-like
shaft) creates the look of hemstitching in woven natural fiber fabrics by
creating “holes” where the needle goes in and out of the fabric.
• Replace the standard needle with a wing needle.
• Choose any stitch that goes back and forth into the same holes
several times (130 - 139). Use the recommended presser foot for that
stitch.
• Thread the top and bottom with lightweight thread in color that
matches the fabric you are using (remember you want to see the
holes that are created and not the thread).
Tip: For fine fabrics, place a lightweight tear away stabilizer under
stitching.
• Begin sewing. Use the sew slow button (2) to reduce your speed
while using the wing needle.
Hemstitching
This is a technique everyone recognizes as embroidered by hand.
With your sewing machine, you can produce hemstitching much more
quickly and easily. With ten special hemstitches and by changing the
stitch length and width, you can create variated hemstitch effects.
A wing needle is required for hemstitching work. When entering the
fabric the wing needle forms holes which are typical for hemstitching.
Hemstitching will be most successful on relatively coarse linen and
cotton fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled.
If you pull additional threads and sew along the edges close to the
threads you have pulled out, you will achieve even more beautiful
hemstitching effects as the remaining threads are bundled.
