Sewing with straight,

utility and stretch
stitches
Tips for embroidering 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
five 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 orderto 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).

Dua’ feed
Pfaff offer the only household sewing machine
the world with built in dual feed. Bythis means,
material is not only fed from below, but also fr
above simultaneously. During processing of 10
fabric panels, such as curtains and side curtah
etc., there is no shifting of the material plies.
Also during assembly of checked or striped fab
panels the material is fed exactly by the dual fe
Especially during processing of delicatee ma
rials, no seam pucker results. In the case of p
stics, oilcloth, imitation suede, etc. (i.e. in the ca
of extremely difficult materials), dual feed is
equally great help. It provides for excellent fee
ing of your workpiece, and consistent seams. T
dual feed can be combined with several sewh
feet.
To engage: raise sewing foot, push top fe€
downward until it engages.
To disengage: lift sewing foot, press top fe
lightly downward, pull it to there.

Sewing tips for

different materia’s
Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and
tension.
Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium
stitch length.
Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice
and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of
2.5 to 3 mm.
Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a
piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron.
Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics.
When sewing over thick intersections t is advis
able to cut away seam allowances.
Synthetic materials: do not baste such materials
as plastic, foil or oilcloth (penetration holes!). Use
long stitch lengths (4 to 6 mm) and the dual feed.
Pure silk: set needle thread tension a little lower.
Needle must be in perfect condition (otherwise
fibres are pulled). Use stitch lengths between 2
and 2.5 mm.
Knitted or crocheted materials: sew with light
needle thread tension and elastic seams.
Machine-embroidery silk: to obtain effective
motif embroideries set the needle thread tension
lighter, i. e. lower than the buttonhole range.

stitch length to the rear. Repeat this procech
until basting is completed. In order to avoid s

Shirring
prog
Stitch length: 4 mm
In order to obtain consistent gather with straight
stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring
threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring
on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam
straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the
fabric taut a little with your hands, because with
long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1).
After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang
ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at
about sewing-foot width.
Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them.
By this means you determine the amount of
gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in
order to ensure they do not break during gather

at the beginning and end of the seams (Fig. 2).

Adaption of buttonhole length

A garment may consist of different numbers of
fabric plies, e. g. the buttonhole strip may consist
of three plies and the collar stand of six owing to

the folded seam edge. In this case it is necessary

to program the computer for varying numbers of
fabric plies in order to maintain the same button
hole length as on the 3-ply buttonhole strip.
Changing the buttonhole width

For every fabric type, the corresponding button
hole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For
heavy materials select a wide buttonhole and a
narrow one for light materials. With the stitch
width key (140), you determine the required but

Sewing in zippers
prog --
fl( (H
.co
Key: Need/e down
There are differe nt kinds of zippers: joined or split
zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks.
They can be inserted concealed or open, as requi
red.
The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on
the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2).
Fufly concea’ed zippers
es
Baste the zipper in first. Engage the zipper foot at
its right side (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under
the foot so that its teeth run along the right edge
of the foot (Fig 3). When you change the needle
position respectively (see page 78), the zipper
can be stitched in at a narrow margin. Sew about
half the length of the zipper at the desired width.
uid
Leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the foot,

and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Lower the foot, conti
nue to sew until the end of the zipper, then sew the
cross seam.
Sew on the other side of the zipper parallel and at
the same seam margin. Shortly before the end of
the seam, leave the needle down in the material,
raise the foot, and open the zipper (Fig. 5). Lower
the foot again, and sew the rest of the seam.
-g
Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom

mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel
seams.
If the sewing foot is engaged with its right side,
the needle position must only be changed to the
right. If the sewing foot is engaged with its left
all
side, the needle position must only be changed to

the left.

the two threads. Thread each thread separately
through thread guides and the needle eye (Fig.

The thread tension should be adapted to each
fabric type. The tighter the tension, the more pro
minent the cording appears. Fig. 1 shows how the
cording tongue is engaged.
For thin materials, the cording foot with 7 groo
ves, the small cording tongue and a twin needle of
up to 2 mm are used.
For thicker materials, the cording foot with 5
grooves, the large cording tongue and the respec
tive twin needle are used.
If you wish to sew several cordings beside each

Shell edging
prog [

Key: Pattern mirroring
Shell edging provides nice trimming, especially
on sheer, soft materials. Fold over the fabric edge
once along the line which is to be decorated.
During sewing, the blindstitches draw in the fabric
edge at regular intervals, thus producing a shell-
edge effect. The stronger the needle thread ten
sion, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2).
Adding a wool thread of a different colour not only
reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive
contrast trimming.
Place the material under the needle so that it pro
m
trudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blind
stitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1).

Sew over the raw edges of the appliqué with nar

To make the edge of the appliqué more promi
nent, insert a filler cord in the seam (Figs. 3 and 4).
Ready-made fabric appliqués can be applied
much more easily. Before you cut out the design,
iron on a fusible backing. This reinforces the mate
rial, makes it easier to cut, and prevents fraying.
Baste on the design. Place three layers of tissue
paper under the fabric and sew along the edges of
the design with dense, narrow zigzag stitches. In
this way, a good-looking seam is produced.
• For cording we recommend the appliqué foot

Quilting
prog (C] [i
[ 00 --
• Edge guide
Seams stitched on articles filled with cotton wool
or some other soft padding have a very prominent
effect. For this purpose, batting, foam plastic or
flannel is placed between the top ply and a light
weight bottom ply (Fig. 3).
To keep the fabric plies and the padding in place,
baste them together with rows of long basting stit
ches spread over the whole area.
Squares and diamonds can be sewn on the
straight or on the bias of the material. On fabrics
with regular patterns stitch between the patterns
or around them.
The spacing between seams can be set as requi
red by adjusting the guide accordingly.
Trace the seam line for the first seam on the fabric
or guide the quilting gauge along the straight-cul
fabric edge.
When you have completed the first seam move
the work sideways so that the quilting gauge rum
along the first seam or the traced seam line. Fo
each subsequent seam, guide the gauge finge
along the preceding line of stitching (Fig. 1).
Quilting can also be done advantageously on pat
terned materials.
Preparation of the material is the same as describ
ed above. Just sew around the contours and yot
have a very beautiful piece of embroidery (Fig. 2)
During the operation the needle position mus

Sewing with straight,

utility and stretch
stitches
Tips for embroidering 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
m
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
.co
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,
es
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
uid
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
-g
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
all
the sewing foot with a piece of material of the

same thickness (Fig. 4).

73
U
Dual feed
Pfaff offer the only household sewing machine in
the world with built in dual feed. By this means, the
material is not only fed from below, but also from
above simultaneously. During processing of long
fabric panels, such as curtains and side curtains,
etc., there is no shifting of the material plies.
Also during assembly of checked or striped fabric
panels the material is fed exactly by the dual feed.
Especially during processing of delicatee mate
rials, no seam pucker results. In the case of pla
stics, oilcloth, imitation suede, etc. (i.e. in the case
of extremely difficult materials), dual feed is an
equally great help. It provides for excellent feed
ing of your workpiece, and consistent seams. The
dual feed can be combined with several sewing
feet.
To engage: raise sewing foot, push top feed
downward until it engages.
To disengage: lift sewing foot, press top feed
lightly downward, pull it to the rear
and allow it to move up.
74
Sewing tips for

different materials
Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and
tension.
Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium
stitch length.
Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice
and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of
2.5 to 3 mm.
Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a
piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron.
Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics.
When sewing over thick intersections it is advis
able to cut away seam allowances.
Synthetic materials: do not baste such materials
as plastic, foil or oilcloth (penetration holes!). Use
long stitch lengths (4 to 6 mm) and the dual feed.
Pure silk: set needle thread tension a little lower.
Needle must be in perfect condition (otherwise
fibres are pulled). Use stitch lengths between 2
and 2.5 mm.
Knitted or crocheted materials: sew with light
needle thread tension and elastic seams.
Machine-embroidery silk: to obtain effective
motif embroideries set the needle thread tension
lighter, i. e. lower than the buttonhole range.

Shirring
prog --
Stitch length: 4 mm
In order to obtain consistent gather with straight
stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring
threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring
on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam
straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the
fabric taut a little with your hands, because with
long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1).
After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang
ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at
about sewing-foot width.
Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them.
By this means you determine the amount of
gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in
order to ensure they do not break during gather
ing. Afterwards, do not forget to tie off the threads
at the beginning and end of the seams (Fig. 2).

thread in the groove of the sewing foot in use.
Lower the sewing foot and sew a number of
seams at about foot width. Ensure that the elastic
thread is not pierced during sewing and do not
stretch it. Finally, pull the threads with your hand,
and determine the amount of gather yourself.
Knot the threads on the inside (see Fig. 1).
Instead of elastic thread it is also possible to use
heavy cotton thread (see Fig. 2).
Pull the fabric to the required width and stitch the
threads down. This provides you with a fixed shirr

Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tension-

Needle thread: sewing thread
For sewing with elastic threads we recommend
buying an additional bobbin case.
Because elastic threads are much thicker than an
ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin
case has to be set looser. The greater the bobbin
thread tension the greater the shirring effect.
The most suitable fabrics are nylon, satin, batiste
and fine-knit fabrics. The amount of gathering can
be determined by testing on a piece of waste
fabric. Sew the seams at about foot width (Fig. 1).
Tie off the seams on the reverse fabric side at the
beginning and end of the seams.
If there are several parallel seams, the material
must be stretched to its original width during
sewing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregu

Sewing neck openings: Measure the required

width and close the stand at the correct curvature
and press open the seam, fold over in lengthwise
direction and pin onto neck cutout from face side.
The raw edges of the knit facing are placed on the
raw edge of the cutout. In one workstep, knit
facing and cutout edge are sewn together (Fig. 3).
In order to avoid waviness in the case of loosely
woven materials, insert an elastic thread. By this
means, the seam keeps its original shape (Fig. 2).

* Hemmer foot (special accessory)

Hemming secures the fabric edge against fraying
and produces a neat and durable edge.
The hem width is about 4 mm.
Begin by folding the fabric edge over twice and
placing the folded edge under the hemmer foot.
Lower the foot and secure the hem in position
with a few stitches.
Fig. 1 shows how the fabric is drawn into the hem
mer foot scroll with the aid of the stitched-down
threads.
Fig. 2 shows how the fabric edge is fed into the
hemmer foot scroll. Hold the fabric tight as you
guide it during sewing. Make sure the fabric con
tacts the edge of the right half of the hemmer foot
as it enters the scroll.

* Roll hemmer (special accessory)

Use the roll hemmer foot for hemming nylon, tn-
cot and chiffon. Begin by stretching the fabric to
see which way the edge curls. This is the side to
which the hem must be rolled. Draw the fabric into
the hemmer scroll with the aid of sewn-on
threads.
Set the stitch width just wide enough that the
need’e stitches close to the drawn-in hem edge
(Fig. 3). In this way, an attractive shell edge effect
is obtained.

Remove sewing foot and screw on binder. Insert
the bias tape in the scroll of the binder and pull it
out to the rear. Set the binder in such a way that
the needle enters ito 1.5 mm from the turned-in
bias edge. Sew a number of stitches along the
bias tape. Place the raw edge in the groove of the
binder. During sewing, the bias tape is wrapped
automatically over the material edges. Sew the
bias tape on with the above mentioned program
or a program of your own selection. Straight mate
rial edges are the simplest to bind (Fig. 2).

Blind stitch
Fold the previously overcast raw edge over to

form a hem of the desired width and baste about
0.5 cm from the fabric edge. Place the fabric
under the blindstitch foot and sew, making sure
the folded fabric edge runs along edge guide “B”
of the blindstitch toot (Fig. 1 + 2a).
Before you start blindstitching, adjust the needle
penetration point on the folded fabric edge.
To do this, adjust the position of edge guide “B” by
turning regulating screw ‘A’ so that the needle
catches only one thread in the folded edge when
it makes its left stitch. Sew a trial seam on a piece
of scrap material first.

garment may consist of different numbers of
abric plies, e. g. the buttonhole strip may consist
f three plies and the collar stand of six owing to
—
the folded seam edge. In this case it is necessary

to program the computer for varying numbers of
fabric plies in order to maintain the same button
iole length as on the 3-ply buttonhole strip.
Changing the buttonhole width

Ear every fabric type, the corresponding button
ole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For
eavy materials select a wide buttonhole and a
arrow one for light materials. With the stitch
‘idth key (140), you determine the required but
nnhole width. The length of the cut is changed
utomatically (Fig. 4). A buttonhole width of
5mm is stored.
103
Changing the buttonhole

stitch length
With the stitch length key (125), the buttonhole
seams can be set more densely or loosely.
Buttonholes with
gimp thread
In the case of elastic materials, it is possible that
the button holes extend. Therefore, the button
hole strip should be strengthened with interlining
material. In order to retain the shape of the button
hole, use gimp thread if possible. Place the gimp
thread over the back ridge “A”, pull taut and jam it
into front ridge “B” to the left and right (Fig. 1).
(Pull runner fully forwards).
The buttonhole sequence is the same as without
gimp thread, see page 102. After completing the
buttonhole pull on both thread ends of the gimp
thread (Fig. 2), until the loop is covered up by the
bar. This is where the button is located later. Pull
the gimp threads through to the underside with a
needle, secure them and trim them.
We recommend to determine the second scans
bar yourself for this type of buttonhole (see page
102).
Single buttonhole
As you know, it is difficult to sew buttonholes in
collar stands, waistband strips etc. In such cases,
the buttonhole length should be drawn in pre
viously and the first seam, bartack and second
seam controlled by hand. Sewing foot No. 2 can
also be used for this work.
(Sewing procedure as described on page 102).

There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split
zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks.
They can be inserted concealed or open, as requi
red.
The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on
the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2).
es
Fully concealed zippers
Baste the zipper in first. Engage the zipper foot at
its right side (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under
the foot so that its teeth run along the right edge
of the foot (Hg. 3). When you change the needle
position respectively (see page 78), the zipper
can be stitched in at a narrow margin. Sew about
uid
half the length of the zipper at the desired width.

Leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the foot,
and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Lower the foot, conti
nue to sew until the end of the zipper, then sew the
cross seam.
Sew on the other side of the zipper parallel and at
the same seam margin. Shortly before the end of

Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom
mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel
seams.
If the sewing foot is engaged with its right side,
the needle position must only be changed to the
