Thread tension

To obtain a perfect seam appearance and durability make sure the needle and bobbin thread tensions are correctly adjusted with regard to each other, i.e. the threads evenly meet between the two fabric layers.

The following is valid for general sewing:

Bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too tight or the bobbin thread tension is too loose.

The thread tension must be corrected.

Top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too loose or the bobbin thread tension is too tight.

The thread tension must be corrected.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread should be visible on the underside of the fabric.

The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)

For sewing any fabric precisely PFAFF 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 stretching of the top layers.

Straight stitch

Stitch 1 is the basic straight stitch in center needle position. The stitch length can be increased up to 6 mm. Change the needle position of the straight stitch to sew in a zipper or topstitch along the edge of a collar. The expression 2026 have 13 needle positions that can be adjusted with the -/+ button A.

Sewing in zippers

There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow the directions included with your pattern for best results.

For all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot can be snapped to the presser foot ankle on the left or right, depending on how you will insert your zipper. Then set the needle position so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 13 needle positions available. If the presser foot is attached on the right side, the needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is attached on the left, the needle must only be moved to the left.

Top stitching

The straight stitch can be sewn in 13 different needle positions allowing you to guide the presser foot along the fabric edge for top stitching. The distance between the rows of topstitching is then determined by the needle positions.

You can also space your rows of topstitching by the width of the presser foot. Begin topstitching further from the fabric edge, by using the guide marks on the needle plate, or the edge guide. The guide marks are given in cm and inches. The edge guide is inserted into hole C and is secured with set screw F.

• Cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the damaged area or hole.
• Stitch over the fabric edges with the elastic stitch.
• Cut back the damaged fabric on the reverse side close to the seam.

Repairing tears

On tears, frayed edges or small holes it is useful to lay a piece of material under the reverse side of the fabric. The underlayed fabric reinforces the workpiece and ensures perfect repair.

• Lay a piece of fabric underneath the damaged fabric. It must be a little larger than the damaged area.
• Now sew over the damaged area.
• Cut the under layed piece of material back to the seam.

Honeycomb stitch

The honeycomb stitch is an elastic and decorative hem, which is very suitable for children's clothes and lingerie.

Overlock stitches

For elastic, knits, woven and stretch fabrics, your expression 2026 provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches join multiple layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches can stretch and are more durable than standard stitches.

Tip: Use blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overcast seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of the seam at wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right swing of the needle clears the raw edge of the fabric and the pin of the presser foot.

Darning with the straight stitch

• Attach darning foot No. 6. Turn the handwheel toward you until the needle is set at its highest position. With thumb and index finger press the darning foot together. Insert the pin of the darning foot as far as it will go into the hole of the presser foot holder. The "C-shaped" guide should place itself around the presser bar. The long, plastic arm must be behind the needle clamp/needle set screw. Tighten the set screw.
• Darning position: Lower the presser bar lifter slowly and push it to the rear until it engages in the darning position. In this position the thread tension is engaged for darning.
• Lower the feed dog.

• Draw up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when you start sewing.

• Repair the damaged area/hole by guiding the fabric evenly forwards and backwards. The length of the seam is determined by the size of the hole.

• When you have covered the width of the damaged area, turn the fabric 90 degrees and stitch over the area again. Darning in both directions over a tear will produce a stronger repair.

Tip: Remember, when sewing with the feed dogs lowered, the stitch length is determined by you. An even, medium-to-fast sewing speed will allow you to sew a more consistent length of straight stitch. Sewing too slowly may cause small knots to appear on the reverse side of your work

Gathering with straight stitch

A straight stitch can be used to gather sleeves, cuffs, skirts or valances. To obtain neat and even gathers you should sew two or three rows of gathering stitches.

• Set your stitch length to 6.0 mm. Lower needle thread tension to 3.
• Mark the first gathering line on the right side of the fabric. Sew along this line. Leave about 4 - 5 inches (10-13 cm) of thread at the beginning and end of the seam.
• Sew 1 or 2 more rows of stitching, using the edge of the presser foot as a guide.
  • Gather the fabric by pulling the bobbin (bottom) threads to the desired fullness.
• Distribute the gathers evenly and knot the thread ends together to secure the gathering.

Tip: It is important to use a strong thread when gathering to avoid thread breakage when pulling on the gathering threads.

					0/1

Gathering with elastic threads

Gathering with elastic thread is particularly suitable for visible, elastic gathering seams such as blouse sleeves, waist seams or necklines.

• Mark the first gathering row on the fabric. Sew a few stitches until the needle is in the middle of the presser foot. Turn the hand-wheel towards yourself until the needle is in the lowest position. Raise the presser foot and place the elastic thread around the back of the needle.
• Lower the presser foot and sew a few more stitches to secure the elastic thread to the fabric. Continue attaching elastic threads to fabric. Make sure you do not catch the elastic thread in the stitching.
• When you are finished attaching the elastic thread, pull on the ends of the elastic threads to gather. The amount of gathering is determined by the amount you pull on the elastic thread. Secure all thread ends.

Tip: Use the cording foot (special accessory) to help guide the elastic thread.

Buttonholes

Your expression has the perfect buttonhole for every fabric and garment. Whether you wish to sew buttonholes on jackets, pants (trousers), blouses or stretch fabrics, 2 different buttonholes give your garments the professional touch.

Insert the buttonhole guide to support the feed motion of the fabric. Place the fabric between the buttonhole foot and the guide. This ensures that the guide moves, rather than the fabric itself, guaranteeing an even feed motion. Buttonholes can thus be sewn even in diffi cult materials, such as plush velvet, knitwear or thick woollens.

The buttonhole guide ensures that perfect buttonholes can be sewn on even the most diffi cult of fabrics such as velvet, plush, knitted fabrics and heavy knits.

Your expression offers you three ways of sewing a buttonhole:

• fully automatically
• semi-automatically
• manual

Inserting the sensormatic buttonhole guide:

Push the metal part of the buttonhole guide into the slot (between the two arrows) on the back of the needle plate. The white part extends over the needle plate.

Press the guide towards the front as far as it will go. It must spring back slightly so that there is a small gap between the guide and the back of the machine.

Attaching buttonhole foot No. 5:

Use buttonhole foot No. 5 to sew buttonholes.

Before starting to sew, pull the runner of the foot toward the front to the second red mark (also see "Changing the presser foot" page 2:15). Snap on buttonhole foot No. 5.

Buttonhole tips:

• A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on heavy fabrics.
• Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edge.
• Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced with water-soluble, tissue paper or other lightweight stabilizer.
• Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see "Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread").
• Linen buttonholes are particularly dense and attractive if you use buttonhole twist thread.
• 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

General notes on decorative sewing

To enhance your own home textiles or garments your expression offers you a wide variety of fancy and decorative stitches. Create a greater variety of embellishments by combining different patterns, colors and sizes. Use specialty decorative threads to enhance the lovely stitching.

Always use stabilizers under fabric when sewing decorative stitches. Properly stabilizing your fabric will help eliminate distortion of your decorative stitches.

The following recommendations apply to all decorative sewing:

The stitch length and width can be altered as desired.

Lower the upper thread tension to between 2-3. Adjust as needed so bobbin thread does not pull to the top side of your project. Your embroidery results will be much prettier if your tension is properly adjusted.

Presser foot No. 1 (for dual feed) and No. 2 (without dual feed) are most suitable for decorative work. We recommend presser foot. No. 2 for heavier fabrics.

Combined Borders

Create borders of any width by combining different decorative stitches. Embroidery threads give shiny, smooth stitching results and come in many colors and weights.

Place stabilizer under fabric.

Mark the center of your fabric with a fabric marking pen/pencil. Sew stitch 43; stitch width 6 mm along your line. Next press the "Pattern mirror button" (30). Position your fabric even with the top of the first row of stitching. Sew the second row of stitching directly across from the first.

Sew stitch 3; stitch density 0.2 mm and stitch 45 along each side of your center embroidery. Your completed border should now have six rows of decorative stitching.

Free motion monograms

Use stitch 3 (stitch width 3-6 mm) to create wonderful monogram initials of your own design.

Transfer the initials with a fabric marker to the area to be embroidered.

Attach the darning foot and bring it into the darning position (see page 4:11).

Lower the feed dog.

Place a tear-away stabilizer under your fabric. Then place a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on the right side of the fabric. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop and use the zigzag stitch, in varying widths, to follow your traced lines. Do not forget to use the darning position.

Knot the threads on the back of your project and remove the stabilizers. The remaining water-soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water.

Tip: Sewing at a medium to fast speed will allow you to move the fabric more slowly, and give you more control of your free-motion monogram. A slightly faster speed will also give you more consistency in the density of your stitches. Practice on scrap fabric until you are comfortable with the free-motion technique.

EF

Block capitals are a little easier to embroider. Simply stitch along the marked lines with stitch 3, stitch width 3-6 mm and stitch density 0.2 - 0.3 mm.

Apply stabilizer under the fabric and water-soluble stabilizer on the top of the fabric.

Mark the monogram on the fabric.

Sew along the marked lines with the zigzag stitch.

Tapering with the satin-stitch zigzag

With your expression you also have the option of increasing or decreasing the width of the zigzag stitch in 0.5 mm increments.

This technique of adjusting the width of a zigzag seam is called TAPERING. You can achieve great effects by adjusting the size of a wide zigzag stitch.

Satin stitch mitered corners

Mitered corners (with an angle of 45^ ) can be achieved by altering the width of the satin stitch zigzag while sewing.

• Select zigzag stitch 12 (right needle position).
• Set stitch width to 6 mm, stitch length to 0.2-0.3 mm.
• Set the needle thread tension to 3.
• Satin stitch a single straight line.

- To miter the corner, lower the needle into the fabric on the right side of the stitch, reduce the stitch width using the -/+ button A (1) by 0.5 mm. Sew one stitch.

- Reduce the width again by 0.5 mm and sew one stitch. Continue until the stitch width is reduced to 0.5 mm.

- Turn the handwheel towards yourself until the needle pierces the fabric in the right-hand position. Turn the fabric 90^ and sew one stitch.

- Increase the width by 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Sew one stitch.

- Increase the width by 0.5 mm again and sew one stitch. Continue until the starting width is reached.

- Continue embroidering a straight line at the 6.0 mm width.

If the corner is to run in the opposite direction, work with the left-hand needle position (stitch 12 and "Pattern mirror button" (30)).

Decorative buttonhole

This buttonhole is an attractive variation of the classic linen buttonhole.

Since you determine the seam width yourself the buttonhole can be up to 12 mm wide.

• Set stitch No. 3, stitch width 3mm , stitch length 0.2mm .
• Set needle thread tension at 3.
• Sew two seams 1 mm apart the length of desired buttonhole.
• Select stitch No. 12 and stitch over the two ends with a triangle.
• Using -/+ button A (1), alter the stitch width gradually from 0 mm to 3 mm and back to 0 mm during sewing. The tip of the triangle should meet in the middle of the two seams.

Appliqué designs

Appliqués are easily created and produce a beautiful effect. By using a variety of materials and patterns you can obtain many different effects. You can make a perfect densely stitched seam with the applique foot (special accessories). The special cutout on the sole allows the extra thickness of a satin stitch zigzag to pass smoothly under the foot. Fusible webbing keeps the appliqué in place so you can easily stitch around the form.

• Snap on the applique foot.
• Transfer your pattern to the paper side of the fusible webbing – remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as a mirror image.
• Iron the paper-backed webbing to the back side of the appliqué fabric. Cut the motif out and pull off the paper.
• Place the appliqué pieces on base fabric and iron securely.
• Stitch around all appliqués with appliqué stitch (No. 19) or with a narrow, satin-stitch zigzag, stitch width 2 - 4 mm, stitch length 0.2 to 0.6 mm. Make sure the stitch covers the outer edge of the appliqué so that no fraying occurs later.

Tip: If a taper is required you can narrow the satin stitch zigzag in 0.5 mm increments with the -/+ button A (see Tapering, page 6:6-6:7).

Patchwork quilt

Patchwork and quilting are traditional handicraft techniques which were originally used by North American pioneer women to make use of left-over fabric. Over the years it has developed into a creative hobby.

A patchwork quilt consists of three layers of fabric, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. Many pieces of fabric are joined together in patterns to form the top layer of the quilt. This is tacked to a middle layer of polyester or cotton batting and a backing layer.

The quilt and patchwork foot (special accessory) is particularly helpful for sewing patchwork and quilting. The distance of the needle to the outer edge of the foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and 1/8 inch (3 mm) to the inner edge).

In traditional quilting the three layers are joined together with small hand stitches to create beautiful family heirlooms. The sewing machine makes accomplishing this technique much easier and faster! The expression 2026 have quilt stitch No. 11, which enables you to quickly and easily achieve a hand-quilted look! Use invisible sewing thread (nylon monofi lament) as the needle thread and wind the bobbin with cotton thread to contrast or blend with the colors of your quilt top. The needle thread tension must be set quite tight (7), and the bobbin thread tension quite loose (approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise) to allow the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread to the top of your quilt. When you sew the stitch on the three layers of fabric of the quilt you only see the triple stitch of the bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and thus appears to be hand-quilted.

Quilt stitch 11 and 19 enable you to achieve a wonderful hand-quilted look.

Stitch 11 works equally well for topstitching on jackets and overcoats. Combining the quilt stitch with other decorative stitches can create unique new patterns.

And this is how it's done:

• Cut the pieces necessary for your quilt top, making sure to include a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6 mm).
• Sew the pieces together as required by the block chosen. These squares will then be sewn together and will form the top of the quilt.
• Baste the fi nished top of the quilt onto the batting and the bottom quilt layer.
• Use your expression to sew all layers together. Work from the center of the quilt out. Use a straight stitch for long seams.

Experiment with other stitches on a scrap of fabric. Contact your Pfaff dealer, library, or bookstore for more information on quilting.

Cross-stitch

Cross-stitch embroidery has always been a wonderful traditional, embroidery technique.

What used to be stitched by hand with a great deal of effort can now be sewn with the expression with astonishing ease and speed.

With cross-stitch No. 20, design your own cross-stitch combinations. These patterns look as if they were hand-embroidered and give a special touch to table linen, towels or garments.

Tips for cross-stitching:

• Sew slowly.
• Use foot No. 2.
• Place stabilizer under the fabric.
• You can embroider on Aida cloth as used for hand cross-stitching. The length and width of the cross-stitches of your expression can be altered depending on the count/size of the Aida cloth squares.
• Use decorative threads to make your cross-stitch look more professional.

Eyelet embroidery

Eyelet embroidery enhances your linens and blouses. Using an eyelet plate (special accessory) and various utility and decorative stitches beautiful embroidery can be produced.

And this is how it's done:

• Lower the feed dog.
• Place the eyelet plate onto the needle plate making sure that the pin (A) at the back of the plate fi ts into the middle cutout of the needle plate. Push the plate down at the front.
• Tightly hoop your marked embroidery fabric.

- With small scissors cut one or two of the fabric threads at the center of the marked eyelet area and push the fabric over the pin of the eyelet plate. The fabric must fit snugly around the pin.

- Remove the presser foot - Place the presser foot lifter in the darning position.

- Pull up the bobbin thread and hold it for the first few stitches.

- Stitch around the cut with zigzag pattern No. 3. While doing so, turn the hoop with the fabric slowly and evenly. The stitches should be very close to each other.

- Secure with a few straight stitches.

Hemstitching

This is a technique everyone recognizes – but was previously only embroidered by hand! With your expression you can produce hemstitching much quicker and easier.

Special hemstitches No. 22 and 23 are built into your machine. By changing the stitch length and width you can achieve different effects. Use a wing needle for hemstitching. (A normal needle is only used for very light fabrics - size 80.) Hemstitching is most successful on woven natural fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled. Embroidery and darning thread, particularly cotton, are very suitable. With the hemstitches on your expression, various techniques can be applied.

Traditional hemstitching

• Use stitches No. 22 and 23 to create lovely hemstitched holes.
• Sew the appropriate program on a piece of test fabric.

For pulled thread hemstitching:

• Count the threads of the fabric within the area of the sewn pattern. Adjust the pattern width so the needle is not piercing a thread to be pulled, but falling to the side of the threads of your fabric. This will allow you to easily remove the threads within the pattern area.
• Pull 1 - 3 threads out of the material to the right and left of the pattern.
  • Overstitch the remaining threads with the selected program. The needle must enter the pulled threads on both sides close to the edges.
