Exclusive built-in dual feed lets you do things even experts find difficult.

Even experts find it difficult to match patterns and plaids when sewing slippery silks and synthetics. But easy matching is automatic with Pfaff's exclusive built-in dual feed.

When two or more fabric layers are fed simultaneously through conventional sewing machines, there is always the possibility of slippage.

The exclusive Pfaff solution ist built-in dual feed, a walking foot that simultaneously feeds the fabric from above as the feed dog moves it from below. You can sew up to 12 fabric layers without fear of slippage.

Needle thread tension 39

A = setting mark

Important!

In order to obtain good sewing results it is important to check the following:

1. that the needle is in good order,
2. and the needle- or bobbin thread tension is correct.

The bobbin thread tension is adjusted correctly at the works.

If on checking the bobbin thread tension (see page 16) you find it is necessary to correct it, turn the adjusting screw by small amounts only.

Checking the needle thread tension:

The normal setting is from 3 to 5. The higher the number, the tighter the thread tension. This is checked with a wide zigzag stitch (program 10). Sew a short seam. The thread interlace should lie exactly between the two material plies. Range 3 is for buttonhole sewing.

Removing the work from the machine and cutting the threads:
Remove the material to the rear and pull the threads in sewing direction into thread cutter 37 in order to cut them.

Important!

When the main switch is pressed to switch the machine on, the sewing lamp lights up.

When the machine is switched off by pressing the main switch, removing the mains plug or by power failure, the program memory in the computer is saved by a battery back-up. When the machine is switched on again, program 00 (straight stitch with needle in middle position) appears. All program combinations entered into any memory are retained automatically. If a program is entered during sewing, it will not become effective until the machine is stopped and the foot control is pressed again.

The stitch width and stitch length can be changed during sewing. For bobbin winding disengage the sewing action.

After bobbin winding engage the sewing action again. Owing to the use of electronic components this machine becomes warm during operation. This is quite normal and of no consequence.

Batteries:

When the batteries are empty, the word "battery" appears in four languages in display 21.

Electronic bobbin thread monitoring:

Bobbin thread monitor 14 flashes before bobbin thread runs out. It goes out again when the full bobbin is inserted and sewing is continued. Important: cover 33 must always be closed.

Top and bottom needle position:

When the machine stops, the needle goes up. Press key 15 for the needle down position. Display A then lights up and the needle will remain down when sewing is stopped. Press key 15 again. The indicator light goes out and the needle rises and stays at the top position.

Electronic actual speed selection:

Press key 16 for slow sewing. Display B lights up. The machine sews at half speed. Press key 16 again. The display goes out and the machine sews again at full speed.

Tie-off/buttonhole. To sew: Press key

19: Indicator C lights up, the programmed seam is tied off at the beginning, then indicator light C goes out. If you push the key during sewing, the light goes on and a seam is tied off immediately, whereas a pattern is tied off at the end. The display then goes out. Buttonhole: In buttonhole programs 150, 151 and 152, key 19 is used for determining and memorizing the length. For more details please see pages 78-97.

Reverse sewing: Press key 18 before you start sewing. Indicator light D lights up and the machine sews backwards permanently. If you press the key during sewing, the light will not go on and the machine will sew backwards as long as the key is pressed.

Darning: The lengths of darning programs 158 and 159 are also determined and memorized with key 18.

1. Adjusting the reverse stitch length in a pattern (for balancing out, see page 32) for programs in which display B does not light up.
2. Selecting the pattern length in mm while the stitch density remains the same in programs in which display B lights up. The set stitch length determines the maximum pattern length.
3. Checking and altering the stitch counter in free programming.

Balance, or correction of reverse stitches

The balance control is used for correcting pattern- or program combinations which are sewn with a slight shift owing to influences by the type of material or working method used. The stitch length of the reverse stitches of a pattern is corrected from -7 to +7; the normal position is "0". The minus "-" settings shorten the reverse stitches and the patterns or programs become longer, and the plus "+" settings lengthen the reverse stitches; patterns or programs become shorter.

Examples:

1. Correction of individual patterns (also in the P-memory)

Pattern too long

Prog.

Rule: if the pattern is too long, correction has to be made by "+" (from +1 to +7).

1. Correction of pattern- and program combinations

(in the M-memory)

Combination: SUREEN

Corrected by: +3: SURFEN

Rule: If the pattern or program last entered is corrected with "-" or "+" and entered, this applies to the entire program combination.

Storing program combinations:

The creative computer contains 16 M memories, M 0 to M 15. A maximum of 484 programs can be stored in the 16 M memories.

One M memory holds up to 84 entries of programs 00 to 99 or letters and numerals, and up to 63 entries of programs 100 to 177.

Programs 00 to 177 can also be combined with letters and numbers. Storing: first select a free M memory with left key 22 M and right key 22.

The M memory is empty when no indication appears in display 21.

If no M memory from M 1 to M 15 is selected, all programs will go into memory M 0.

Afterwards press key 48 for program entry. The memory is now ready for input.

Select programs, letters, punctuation marks or numbers individually with program keys 22 and enter them in the memory by pressing key 48. The program numbers, letters, punctuation marks or numbers appear in display 21. The programs can be changed in length and width before input. If the computer will not take further inputs, this means the memory capacity is exhausted, and a memory you no longer need must be emptied.

Checking a program combination by running it through the display:

When more than 4 programs or more than 11 letters or numbers are stored, the program can be run through display 21 from right to left by pressing key 6. To stop the display press key 6 again.

Press memory key 30 to sew the programs entered from the beginning. By pressing the foot control the machine sews the combination from the beginning as well.

Cancelling a program combination:

By pressing key 47 "correct", the last program of the stored combination is cancelled. Continue pressing key 47 until the entire combination is cancelled.

If the combination consists of several M memories, each individual memory has to be selected and cancelled. The memories are then free for new combinations.

prog B/L memory 30

Repeating program combinations:

Key 30 "memory/repeat" has three functions:

1. Returning a program combination to the starting position.

Tips for embroidering and sewing with the Pfaff Creative 1473

● Before you begin, first try sewing on a piece of waste fabric.
- Check the stitch formation and tension.
- Secure the beginning and end of the seam by pressing "tie-off/button-hole" key 19.
- For 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".

Top-stitching collar points

- Insert a thread into each collar point before beginning to sew and leave approximately 10 cm of thread hanging. When stitching the corner, you pull on the threads of the respective corner for the first stitches in sewing direction. The material feed is supported in this way and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner (Fig. 3).

Line drawing of a sewing machine needle stitching fabric (no text or symbols)

For top-stitching edges, especially in the case of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and a straight sewing foot with round needle hole can produce good sewing results (special accessories).
Sewing aid for thick seams In order to ensure uniform feeding at the beginning of the seam, we recommend supporting the sewing foot with a piece of material of the same thickness (Fig. 4).

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 down on the iron, or use velved pressing board.

Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics. When sewing over thick intersections it is advisable 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.

Sewing thread: normal sewing thread or basting thread

For trying on a garment, we recommend securing the parts previously with basting stitches. Place the workpiece under the sewing foot. Sew one stitch. After that, pull the material by the required stitch length to the rear. Repeat this procedure until basting is completed. In order to avoid shifting of the material plies during securing of patterned materials, insert dress pins crosswise to the basting direction. Shifting of the material plies is thus largely avoided.

Program 00 is a straight stitch with the needle in center position (Fig. 1). By pressing "twin needle" key 29 in program 00, the computer programming function is blocked. This is necessary when the straight stitch foot and the round-hole needle plate are used (special accessories).

Program 01 is a straight stitch with the needle in left position. With key 8 the needle position can be changed to 19 positions from left to right (Fig. 2). Programs 02 and 03 are straight stitch backwards. These are used for program combinations. Program 03 can be sewn in 19 needle positions. Select a longer or shorter stitch length according to the work required by pressing stitch length keys 7. Raise the sewing foot higher for heavy materials or several material plies. This makes it easier to place the work under the sewing foot. Do not forget to lower the presser bar lifter again! Certain seams are easier to sew with a different needle position (see page 53).

Buttonhole thread can also be wound on the bobbin and used as bobbin thread. In this case, sewing thread should be used in the needle. For this sewing job the needle thread tension must be set relatively high. For topstitching, the fabric is placed in the machine wrong side up. Select the longest stitch. For topstitching, a No. 80 needle may be used.

• For difficult top-stitch seams we recommend using the straight-stitch foot and the round-hole needle plate (special accessory).

Change of needle position with straight stitch

Through adjustment of the needle (needle position), certain sewing work can be carried out easier. For example, if you wish to stitch at a narrow margin such as on collars or when inserting zippers, you select the required needle position.

- For changing the needle position, the needle must always be in the highest position.

Shirring with straight stitch

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 hanging. 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 gathering. Do not forget to tie off the threads at the beginning and end of the seams afterwards (Fig. 2).

Insert the elastic thread in the groove of the sewing foot in use. Lower the presser 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 shirred edge.

f the worn area is wider than the darning program, he darning program must be repeated several times until the damaged spot has been covered completely.

Depending on the fabric, the darn may turn out one-sided. If so, this can be compensated by balance key 5.

Example:

Stitch length: 2.5–3.0 mm

Key: needle down

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 required.

The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2).

Fully concealed zippers

Baste the zipper in first. Snap the zipper foot in at the right (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under the foot so that its right-hand guide edge moves along the zipper teeth (Fig. 3). By changing the needle position (see page 53) the zipper can be stitched in at a narrow depth. Sew about half the seam at the required depth, leave the needle down in the material, raise the zipper foot and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Then lower the foot again, continue stitching until you reach the end of the zipper and sew across this end.

Sew along the other side of the zipper parallel to the edge and at the same distance as the first seam. Shortly before you reach the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise the sewing foot, open the zipper (Fig. 5), lower the foot again and sew to the end of the seam.

Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recommend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel seams.

If the sewing foot shoe is engaged at the right, the needle must only be varied to the right.

If the shoe is engaged at the left, the needle must only be varied to the left.

Buttonhole with gimp thread

In the case of elastic materials, it is possible that the buttonholes extend. Therefore, the button-hole strip should be reinforced 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 to the front).

The buttonhole sequence is the same as without gimp thread. After completing the buttonhole pull on the left gimp thread (Fig. 2) until the loop is covered up by the bar. This is where the button will be located later.

On elastic materials pull the gimp threads through to the reverse side with a needle and tie them off. On normal fabrics the gimp threads can be trimmed immediately behind the last bartack.

Eyelet buttonhole with gimp thread

Suitable threads: bead yarn No. 8, or thick sewing thread

• Move runner slightly to the rear.
• Jam the gimp thread into the left of ridge "A" (Fig. 3) and pull to the front under the button hole runner.
• Place it over the front ridge "B" and jam it to the right and left (Fig. 4).
• Pull it to the rear again and jam it into the right of ridge "A" (Fig. 5).
  ● Place the fabric underneath the sewing foot,
• pull the buttonhole runner fully to the front and lower the sewing foot.
• Before you start sewing press "slow sewing" key 16 (Fig. 6).
• Sew the first buttonhole seam.
• When the machine starts sewing slowly (at the beginning of the curve), take the gimp thread from the left of ridge "A".
• pull down the thread from ridge "B" by means of a needle and pull it to the rear until a loop appears in needle plate cutout "C" of the buttonhole runner (Fig. 7).
• Sew the curve and - when the machine has again reached its normal speed -
• pull the thread taut and finish sewing the buttonhole. To prevent the gimp threads from showing at the end of the bartack, pull them taut and cut them off.

Round buttonholes with gimp threads are sewn in exactly the same way.

Note:

The thicker the gimp thread you use, the wider the buttonhole seams must be selected to correspond with the thread.

Cutting open buttonholes

When you cut open a buttonhole it is important not to damage the bartacks. To avoid this, insert the seam ripper about 1 mm away from the bartack. Now carefully cut the buttonhole open to the middle, then repeat this from the bartack at the other end (Fig. 1). If you have no punch pliers to cut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a pair of pointed scissors.

Place the button on the mark made on the fabric beforehand and push the fabric with the button under the sewing foot holder or sewing foot (Fig. 2). Turn the hand wheel towards you and adjust the position of the button so that the needle stitches into its left hole. Lower the presser bar lifter. Turn the hand wheel and check to make sure the needle enters the right hole of the button. Now sew the button on.

After tieing off the needle stops in its top position.

Sewing on buttons with stems

Place a match stick or a toothpick on the butto between the two holes and sew the button on a described (Fig. 3). Afterwards remove the match stick, pull the button and fabric apart, then wra the stems with the threaded needle- and bobbi thread and knot the thread ends (Figs. 4, 5).

To ensure that flat or small buttons do not sli away during sewing we recommend using th normal sewing foot and switching off the top feed For some buttons it is necessary to change th zigzag width. Finer settings for sewing on these buttons can be made using program 11.

In this case place the button in the way that the needle in right stitch position sticks into the right hole of the button exactly.

Afterwards adjust zigzag width so that the needl sticks into the left hole of the button exactly.

Cording seams are especially popular as a decoration on underwear, dresses, blouses, etc.

Cording sewn with the cording tongue

Cording is always sewn with two needle threads. Place a spool of thread on each spool pin and secure it in position with the corresponding unwinding disc. Place one thread to the right, and the other to the left of disc "C" (Fig. 3a). Then continue threading the machine, as usual. Do not twist the two threads. Thread each thread separately through thread guides and the needle eye (Fig. 3b).

The thread tension should be adapted to every fabric type. The tighter the tension, the more prominent the cording appears. Fig. 1 shows how the cording tongue is engaged.

For thin materials, the cording foot with 7 grooves, the small cording tongue and a double needle of up to 2 mm are used.

For thicker materials, the cording foot with 5 grooves, the large cording tongue and the necessary double needle are used.

If you wish to sew several cordings beside each another, use the grooves of the cording foot (Fig. 2). For greater distances we recommend using the edge guide.

This reinforces the material, 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.

- 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 lightweight bottom ply (Fig. 3).

To keep the fabric plies and the padding in place, baste them together with rows of long basting stitches 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 required by adjusting the guide accordingly.

Trace the seam line for the first seam on the fabric or guide the quilting gauge along the straight-cut fabric edge.

When you have completed the first seam move the work sideways so that the quilting gauge runs along the first seam or the traced seam line. For each subsequent seam, guide the gauge finger along the preceding line of stitching (Fig. 1).

Quilting can also be done advantageously on patterned materials.

Preparation of the material is the same as described above. Just sew around the contours and you have a very beautiful piece of embroidery (Fig. 2).

Thread: embroidering/darning thread

Needle: 130/705 H-LR, size 80

Since leather is a pliable material, an underlay of double-folded paper or light non-woven material (e. g. vylene) should always be used. Do not set the stitches too close, because leather splits easily and cracks in leather show up on the finished work.

Flat leather seams

Overlap the raw edges by about 1/2 cm. Top-stitch both sides at a narrow margin using straight stitch. Instead of straight stitch it is also possible to use zigzag stitch or some other program to over-stitch the double seam. This method of sewing is commonly used for joining parts of different colours (e.g. patchwork).

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 tension, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2). Adding a wool thread in a different colour not only reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive contrast trimming.

Place the material under the needle so that it protrudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blind-stitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1).

This edge finish is used on very light and thin abrics. It is particularly well suited for valances, lounces and frills or for finishing edges. For this sewing job no threads must be drawn out of the fabric. Sew at sewing-foot width along the fabric edge, using the edge of the sewing foot as a guide. Then carefully trim the excess material along the hemstitching with a small scissors (Fig. 5).

Linen embroidery

Plain embroidery on linen is a widely known and popular ornamentation. The patterns illustrated can be made on your Pfaff Creative in a very short time by combining all kinds of stitches.

Sewing texts

If you wish to divide a text into several lines, select a free M-memory for each line and enter the text. After the last program entry, press the single pattern key. Insert a spacing after each word (page 145). Sewing is then begun with the first M-memory again. To divide the text, select one M-memory after the other with each part of the text. The machine will stop after each line.

Before sewing, mark the beginning of the text on the fabric.

After sewing, cut the joining threads between letters, figures and spacings (Fig. 1).

If you wish to check the text, press run-through key, display 6. The text will then run through in the computer. It can be stopped by pressing the same key again.

Letters and figures in different sizes

Letters and figures can be sewn in different sizes. The maximum character height is 9 mm.

Before the first entry of a letter or a figure, its height can be determined by means of stitch width key 8 (Fig. 2).

If you wish to sew letters and numbers in different heights, select the height just before the required change and input the program in the memory.

Correcting program entries

If you have missed out a letter or figure or entered a wrong one, you can correct the entry. Cancel the individual entries back up to the mistake using "m e m -" key 47 and correct it, then enter the rest of the text again.

The cross stitch has always played an important role in the history of crafts. The Pfaff Creative offers you the chance to continue this wonderful tradition with great ease. Besides the cross-stitch programs 70 to 79 the sewing computer has numerous other ready-made cross-stitch borders in store for you. The program numbers of these are 80 to 89, and they can be called whenever needed.

These beautiful motifs are also available for combination as shown on pages 158 and 159. The decorative hand-work stitches are ideal for making small presents. Cross-stitch motifs on table cloths, clothing or children's things lend them a singularly personal touch. Why not spend some of your leisure time beautifying and increasing the personal expression of your clothing? When cross-stitching, it is suggested to press key 16 "sew slowly".

Cross-stitches

prog
70-79		-3+	2A

If you have no cross-stitch pattern available, you can design and sew your own pattern.

● Draw the cross-stitch pattern on graph paper (see Fig. 1).
- Before beginning to sew, mark the sewing sequence by means of arrows on the drawing. As shown in the above example, indicate the sequence of numbers for every pattern sequence -M-. This is required for programming (Fig. 2).
- Now place the pattern in the direction of the arrow. The number of cross stitches is then entered for each pattern sequence in a free M-memory by pressing "mem+" key 48 each time.
- For sewing, the programmed memories are then selected one after the other, beginning with the first M-memory.
● Fancy stitching foot No. 2A has red lines on it which make cross-stitch sewing easier for you. The crosswise lines in the foot are for determining the beginning of the pattern.
- Allow the left metal edge in the window of the foot to move exactly along the line of the pattern sewn previously, in order to avoid spacings occurring between adjoining patterns.

• Arrow = Sewing direction
• Point = Beginning of sewing (needle penetration)
• When sewing is begun the needle always enters in the middle of the foot. The red dot on the pattern marks each starting point.
• In order to shift individual cross stitches, 71 from left to right, press the pattern reverse key beforehand.
  ● The mirroring of program 71 is indicated in the computer by a dash after figure 71.
  ● The illustrations on this and the following pages provide some suggestions of ways to make attractive cross-stitch patterns with your Creative, instead of by hand.

Fault finding

Cause:

Remedy:

1. Machine skips stitches

Needle not inserted correctly.

Push needle up as far as it will go, its flat shank side facing rear.

Wrong needle used.

Insert system 130/705 H needle.

Machine threaded improperly.

Check threading.

Needle too thin for thread used.

Insert thicker needle.

2. Needle thread breaks

For any of the above reasons.

See par. 1 above.

Thread tension too strong.

Regulate thread tensions.

Poor-quality or knotty thread used, or thread that has become too dry by excessive storage.

Use only good-quality thread.

3. Needle breaks

Needle not pushed up as far as it will go.

Insert new needle and push it up as far as it will go.

Needle bent.

Insert new needle.

Needle too thin or too thick.

Refer to needle table.

Needle bent and strikes needle plate because fabric is pushed or pulled.

Let machine feed the fabric. Only guide the material lightly.

Bobbin case improperly inserted.

When inserting the bobbin case, push it in as far as it will go.

4. Seam is not uniform

Tension out of adjustment.

Check upper and lower tensions.

Tread too thick, knotty or hard.

Use first-class thread only.

Bobbin thread wound unevenly.

During bobbin winding, do not hold thread in hand, but pass it through the winder tension stud.

Kinks appear on top and bottom of material.

Thread machine properly and check both tensions.

Cause:

Remedy:

5. Machine feeds irregularly or not at all

Lint has accumulated between tooth rows of feed dog.

Feed dog lowered. (Slide control is at right).

Remove needle plate and remove lint with a soft brush.

Push slide control to the left.

6. Machine runs with difficulty

Thread ends in hook raceway.

Remove thread ends and put one drop of oil into hook raceway.

7. Electronic bobbin thread monitor does not work

Thread ends and dirt have collected in the free arm cover over the sensor, in the hook raceway, in the bobbin case, behind the hook and on the second sensor to the right behind the hook.

Remove thread ends and dirt. Special care should be taken in the area round the second sensor.

8. Machine does not sew the program entered

Switch the machine off, wait about 30 seconds, then switch it on again. Again enter the desired program.

9. Machine can no longer be programmed

If you find that it is not possible to program the computer although it is not filled up, the machine must be switched off. Press key 47 "Correction B/L" after about 30 seconds, hold it down and switch the machine on again by actuating main switch 9. Release button 47. By means of this procedure the contents of both the M- and P-memory has been fully erased. Required program sequences and patterns must be entered once more.

10. The sewing lamp lights up, but the machine does not run

Fuse is defective.

Insert new fuse.

Important:

Before exchanging either sewing foot or needle, switch off master switch 9. Never run a threaded machine unless there is a piece of fabric under the sewing foot. If you have to leave the machine, even for a short while, be sure to switch off the master switch. This is particularly important when children are around.
