The built-in dual fabric feed (IDT system)

For sewing difficult materials PFAFF offers the ideal
- solution: built-in Dual Feed. The sSrne as on
industrial sewing machines, it feeds the fabric from
- the top and bottom at the same time. The fabric is
— fed accurately. On light or difficult fabrics such as
silk and rayon fabrics the dual fabric feed prevents
seam pucker. The even feeding action also ensures
perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics
(see next page).

you do this, guide fork G places itself around the
presser bar. Wire E must be behind set screw F.
Now tighten screw D.
Darning position:
Lower the presser bar lifter A and push it lightly to
the rear. This positions the presser bar lifter into
notch B (darning position).
• Place the darning work in the darning hoop.
• Lower the feed dog (see page 32).
• Draw up the bobbin thread and hold the threads
when you start sewing.
• Darn over the damaged area by moving the
fabric evenly in the required direction. When
doing so, move the fabric in shallow curves. This
prevents tearing of the darn Inter.
• When you have stitched evenly over the darning
area, turn the fabric 90 degrees and darn over
the damaged area again.
You determine the stitch length for this work
yourself by moving the fabric back and forth.
TIP: If small knots appear on the underside, this
