Thread tension
To obtain optimum seam appearance and durability, make sure needle and bobbin thread tensions are correctly adjusted to each other; i.e. the threads are interlaced between the two fabric layers. For fancy seams and buttonholes, the thread interlace should be visible on the reverse side of the fabric.

Inserting the bobbin

Insert the full bobbin in the bobbin case. When doing so, pull the thread sideways through slot A and then under tension spring B so that it rests in the opening (see arrow).

Check:

When you pull the thread, the bobbin must turn clockwise.

Checking the bobbin thread tension

Hold the bobbin case by the thread and move your hand sharply upwards. The bobbin case must slip downwards a little with each hand movement.

Correcting the tension:

Turn adjusting screw C just a little counterclockwise to decrease the bobbin thread tension. Turn adjusting screw C just a little clockwise to increase the bobbin thread tension.

Inserting the bobbin case

Lift latch F and push the bobbin case fully onto pin D of the sewing hook. Opening E of the bobbin case must face upwards. Close the hook cover.

Check:

Pull the bobbin thread sharply; the bobbin case must not fall out of the hook.

The built in Dual Feed / IDT System (Integrated Dual Transport)

PFAFF offers the ideal solution for sewing difficult materials: the built in Dual Feed. This system feeds the material from the top and the bottom simultaneously just the same as industrial sewing machines. The fabric is fed precisely. On light or difficult materials such as silk and rayon fabrics, the Dual Feed prevents seam puckering. The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics.

PFAFF creative designer

The Creative Designer is part of the Creative 7530 and enables you to design your own patterns up to a stitch width of 9 mm. The desired motif is drawn on a programming sheet. This template is inserted in the Creative Designer and transferred into the sewing machines computer stitch by stitch with the adjustable magnifier. 16 program-memories are at your disposal, from P0-P15. When switching off the sewing machine, the stored programs will be retained, providing that there are full batteries in the machine.

The programming sheet

The Creative 7550 is provided with a pad of programming sheets. Each programming sheet has two grids. The self-created designs are drawn on the grid. The width of the drawing area is marked with numbers 00-54. This width equals 9 mm of an embroidered motif, i.e. 3 squares = 1 mm. The length of the grid is marked with numbers 00-198, the total pattern length can be up to 33 mm.

A pattern may consist of several programming sheets (grids). If this is the case, each grid has to be placed into a separate P-memory.

Drawing patterns

The pattern should touch the bottom line of the grid. The motif can be designed as a single pattern or as a continuous pattern. The first and last stitch of a continuous pattern should be placed on the same width coordinate of the grid (see red points).

L=00 04 08 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80 84 52 48 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 08 04 B ↑

Placing the stitch points (stitches)

By drawing stitch points on to your design you are setting the stitch length of your pattern at the same time. Each point represents one needle penetration in the material. The optimum distance of the points (width and length) is between 4–7 squares. Only on curves should the points be drawn more densely, at a distance of roughly 2–5 squares.

After that, the stitch points should be numbered consecutively according to the sewing path. This facilitates the input of stitch points for complicated motifs consisting of parts to be re-sewn several times.

The distance between continuous patterns should be 5 or more squares. For single patterns it is possible to determine the distance between the single patterns by shifting the material.

If you are embroidering a motif with zigzag stitches, the length points must be set very densely. The ideal distance is 1–2 squares.

Make sure to observe a continuous logical sequence corresponding to the sewing course of the machine. (Interruptions within the motif will also be embroidered!)

Important: No patterns will be saved if the sewing machine is switched off during or after the programming without pressing the "edit / " key.

display prog clear edit

The width, length and balance can still be altered. The pattern adjusts to fit the new values.

The sewing machine adds stitches automatically if the distance between two stitches is longer than 6 mm.

Joined patterns (mirrored)

These patterns are sewn in two phases. Draw half a pattern on the programming sheet and enter it into the P-memory.

A A

Sew the half-pattern with the "single pattern" key (16). Now press the "pattern mirror" key (18) and sew the mirror image of the pattern. Make sure that the needle enters the fabric at pattern start point "A" of the first pattern.

The maximum width for mirrored patterns is 18 mm.

Joined patterns in two or more P-memories

It is possible to design wider patterns by using more than one P-memory for the design. Tape two or more programming sheets (in our example 4) together and draw your design on the grid. Decide upon and mark a pattern start "A" for each individual programming sheet.

Ensure that the sewing machine only has to sew in one direction (in our example from top to bottom).

Separate the programming sheets so that you have 4 pattern sections. Enter each section in a separate P-memory. Start at point "A" of the right programming sheet and enter the pattern stitch by stitch (number the pattern if necessary). "E" marks the end of the pattern section on each programming sheet. Enter the second section in the second P-memory beginning here at point
"A" also. Enter the rest of the sections in the same way.

Whether sewing a blouse, a shirt, bed linen or whatever you desire, the Creative Designer allows you to realize all of your embroidery ideas.

Changing the pattern width

The numbered keys 5 and 6 can be used to change the width of a programmed pattern. If you wish to change your pattern without changing the top edge, the pattern start and pattern end points must lie on B 54. The pattern may not be drawn over the entire width of the grid, i.e. there may not be any stitch points on B 00.

If you wish to change your pattern without changing the bottom edge, the pattern start and pattern end points must lie on B 00. The pattern may not be drawn over the entire width of the grid, i.e. there may not be any stitch points on B 54.

Changing the pattern by changing the stitch length and width

The programmed pattern can be scaled up and down by changing the stitch width and length with the numbered keys 7 and 8 (see fig. 1).

By changing both the stitch length and the stitch width, it is possible to change the proportions of the pattern (see fig. 2).

fig. a fig. b fig. c

Changing the pattern with varying distances

Single patterns can be changed by entering less or more intermediate stitches. Be sure to take the desired distances into account when drawing the pattern onto the grid.

If fewer intermediate stitch points are entered, the pattern overlaps (see fig. a). The more intermediate stitch points are entered, the more distance between the individual patterns.

Changing the pattern

If you wish to enlarge or reduce your pattern starting from the middle, your design must be made so that the outermost stitch points are the same distance from the center line.

Balance

On varying types of fabric, a self programmed pattern can change unexpectedly. The pattern can be corrected with the numbered keys 9 and 0.

If the pattern is not closed, the correction can be made with numbered key 0 between +1 and +7, i.e. the machine makes longer backwards stitches and the pattern is closed.

If the pattern overlaps, the numbered key 9 must be corrected between -0 and -7, i.e. the machine makes shorter reverse stitches and the pattern is sewn more open.

Checking the length and width data of the stitch points

If the final sewn pattern does not correspond to the pattern drawn on the grid, one or more stitch points have been entered incorrectly. In order to find the incorrectly entered stitch points, you must be in the programming screen, i.e. "edit" must be in the top right hand corner of the display. Press numbered key 9. The stitch number of the last stitch point of your pattern appears. The length and width data of this stitch can now be compared with that of the sketch. Press numbered key 9 again. The next stitch appears and can be checked in the same way. This process can be repeated for all of the stitch points.

After stitch 1,.1 appears with the same length and width data with one point. It is useful, when looking for mistakes, to number the individual points in the sewing path from the first stitch to the last on the programming sheet. If a mistake is found, it can be marked on the programming sheet and corrected as described on the following pages. It is possible to find out the stitch number of a particular stitch point using the key "memory" (10). Position the magnifier (6) on the stitch, press "memory" and the stitch number appears in the display. If two dashes appear "--", there is no stitch entered in this position.

Straight stitch

Program 00 is the basic straight stitch in center needle position. The stitch length can be increased up to 6 mm as required.

Some sewing jobs can be done more easily by changing the needle position, e.g. topstitching a collar or sewing in a zipper. With keys 5 and 6 you can select 19 needle positions. When doing so make sure that the needle is in the highest position.

Basting stitch

With program 07 you can baste a garment before trying it on. When you press the foot control the machine will only make one stitch. For each further stitch you have to press the foot control each time.

• Lower the bottom feed and disengage the top feed.
• Place the fabric under the sewing foot.
• Sew one stitch, then pull the fabric the required amount to the rear.
• Repeat this as many times as you need to finish the work.

TIP: To prevent the fabric layers from shifting, insert dress pins crosswise to the basting position. Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight stitches (6 mm). In this case the bottom feed need not be lowered.

When the sewing help is selected with the "display" key the upper display line shows "lower", i.e. you are reminded that the bottom feed must be lowered.

display clear edit

The Creative 7530 has a safety device for using the twin needle and even more importantly for the round hole needle plate (special accessory). To prevent the needles from hitting the needle plate and breaking, one should sew only with straight stitch, center needle position when using the round hole needle plate. If you select other programs, the Creative engages its safety locking device.

In order to do this you switch on the sewing machine, the straight stitch 00 appears. Now press the key "twin needle" (2). The symbol "←→" in the display for the needle position to be hanged disappears. Now it is no longer possible to select further programs.

If you do select another program, the following message appears on the display:

Twin needle

Round hole stitch plate?

To be able to sew the new program, you first have to remove the round hole stitch plate and the key "twin needle" must be pressed again.

However, if you wish to do embroidery with the twin needle (see page 138), select the desired program and then engage key (2) twin needle. Thus the stitch width decreases automatically and the needle is prevented from touching the foot.

Zigzag stitch

With zigzag stitch 02, all edges can be serged easily. Make sure that while serging an edge the needle goes into the fabric and over the edge alternately.

In program 32 the width of the zigzag stitch changes from the right needle position on. If you press the pattern mirror key (20), the stitch width changes starting from the left needle position, e.g. for eyelet embroidery and cording work.

For serging thin and difficult materials, blind stitch foot No. 3 is very suitable. When sewing, the thread goes over bar C thus preventing the edge from curling. That way you obtain a beautiful straight seam.

The trimmed edge must be guided along stop B. You can regulate the stop with regulating screw A. Important: Use the blind stitch foot only in program 32, without pattern mirror.

• Serge the edge of the hem.
• Fold the edge inwards one hem width.
  Now unfold the hem again so that the hem edge protrudes by about 1 cm (1/2 inch)
  Now place the fabric under blind stitch foot no. 3 so that the crease line runs along edge guide B.

When the needle enters the crease line it must only pick up one fibre of the fabric.

If the stitch punctures are visible on the face side, stop B must be regulated with regulating screw A.

Program 05 is a blind stitch for elastic fabrics. The hem is sewn and serged at the same time, thus a serging of the edge is not necessary.

The Creative 7530 has two fully automatic darning programs. Program 28 is suited mainly for reinforcing slightly damaged spots, program 29 for darning little holes.

• Stitch over the damaged area to the required length.
• Press the reverse key; the machine finishes sewing the darning program and the darning length is saved.

With program 26 you can sew a fully automatic bartack for strengthening zippers, pockets or belt loops. If you choose a larger size bartack, the stitch density will automatically be increased.

• The darning length that has thus been saved can now be used as often as needed.
  Depending on the type of material, the darning pattern may shift to one side. Using keys 9 and 0 you can straighten the pattern again.

Sewing on buttons

With program 09 you can sew on two- or four-hole buttons without any problems.

• Remove the sewing foot and lower the bottom feed.
• Place the button on the place marked.
• Turn the handwheel towards you and position the button so that the needle enters the left hole in the button.
• Now lower the presser foot lifter; the button is now held by the sewing foot holder.
• Now sew on the button. Make sure that the needle also enters the right hole in the button.
• The machine sews a tack and the program is completed.

When selecting sewing help with the "display" key the upper display line shows "lower", i.e. you are reminded that the bottom feed must be lowered.

• Remove the match and pull the button and fabric apart.
• Wrap the shank with sewing thread and knot it.

Eyelets

If you wish to stitch eyelets on a belt or linens, select program 08.

• Place the fabric under the sewing foot.
• Press the "single pattern" key during the sewing operation. The machine now only sews one eyelet and tacks at the end.
• Cut open the eyelet.

The machine offers five eyelet sizes, which can be changed with the number keys.

Program 08 can also be combined with embroidery stitch programs for beautiful embroidery.

TIP: If you wish to topstitch a collar edge with this program, extend the stitch length to the desired length up to 4–6 mm. Use the functions "needle down" and "single pattern". Do not press the single pattern key until you reach the last stitch before the corner. The machine stops after the stitch and the needle stays in the material. Now turn the fabric and switch off the "single pattern" key. You can set 15 needle positions with the number keys 5 and 6.

Elastic stitch

Due to their high elasticity, programs 03 and 15 are used for sewing elastic onto fabrics. Program 03 has 2 intermediate stitches and program 15 has one intermediate stitch.

• Divide fabric and elastic into quarters and mark.
• Match marks as you sew, stretching the elastic to fit the fabric.

Stretch triple zigzag stitch

The stretch triple zigzag stitch, Prog. 22/23 produces a highly elastic and decorative seam which is very suitable for hems on T-shirts and underwear.

• Serge the edge of the hem.
• Fold the hem inwards to the desired width.
• Topstitch the hem from the face side.

What is an overlock stitch?

For knit and other stretch materials, the Creative offers a selection of overlock stitches. These join two layers of fabric and serge them in one operation. They have a higher elasticity than usual stitches, they are more durable and what is more, they are very fast to sew.

Tip: We recommend using blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. This guides the fabric better and prevents tunneling of the seam at wider stitch widths.

Open overlock stitch

Prog. 34

With this stitch it is easy to join firm materials or fabrics which do not fray too much.

Tip: Make sure that the needle at its farthest right-hand position just misses the edge of the material.

Closed overlock stitch

With program 30 you can sew jersey fabrics perfectly. You can also sew on cuffs and collars.

Tip: Make sure that the cuff is stretched while sewing.

Pullover stitch

Prog. 25

Used together with the knit-edge foot (special accessories), this stitch can even be used for open-knit fabrics. Fashion-knit garment sections can also be joined effortlessly with this stitch.

Tip: To prevent the seam from stretching while sewing, it is advisable to add a woollen thread or length of yarn under light tension.

Overlock stitch

What are flatlock seams?

Where seam allowances and serged edges are inconvenient, flatlock seams are used. These seams are extremely flat, they join butted fabric layers and serge them at the same time. This produces the typical flatlock effect which lends a professional look to collar plackets or raglan seams.

Fancy elastic stitch

Prog. 18

The fancy elastic stitch is very useful for materials that need a flat seam, for example terry cloth.

- Place the two fabric edges so that they overlap by about 2 cm (3/4 of an inch) and overstitch each edge with fancy elastic stitches.

Fagoting stitch

Prog. 17

With the fagoting stitch you can make very elastic seams with a hemstitching effect, for example on corsetry.

• Serge the fabric edges and tack-baste them onto the reverse side.
• Lay the edges to be sewn with about 3 mm between them under the sewing foot.
• Overstitch from the face side ensuring that the needle catches both the right and left hand side pieces of material.

Light-knit mending stitch

Prog. 33

The light-knit mending stitch is a stretchable covering stitch. It is very suitable for overstitching cuffs in stretch materials, e.g. sweatshirts or sportswear.

• Sew the cuff onto the part with an overlock stitch.
• Now the seam allowance can be overstitched from the face side of the fabric. Make sure that the needle enters the fabric close against the seam.

Buttonholes

The Creative 7530 offers you the perfect button-hole for all types of materials and garments. Whether you are sewing jackets, trousers, blouses or elastic materials, 5 different buttonhole styles lend a professional finish to your fashions.

You only have to program your buttonhole in the required length once. All further buttonholes will be sewn in the stored length automatically.

Set the needle thread tension at +3.

So that every single buttonhole is exactly the right size, the Creative 7530 is equipped with the buttonhole guide No. 10 and sensor technology. Using this equipment you can sew perfect button-holes even on the most difficult materials such as velvet, plush, heavy knit or woollen fabrics.

Buttonhole foot No. 5 A

Before starting a buttonhole, always push the runner up to the second red mark so that the red arrow is level with this mark. The red marks are 0.5 cm apart. They are for orientation when selecting the length of the buttonhole.

With the following tips you will sew perfect buttonholes even on the most difficult fabrics:

- Buttonholes which are sewn close to an edge cannot be fed optimally using the buttonhole foot. A better result can be achieved by using sewing foot No. 1A with the Dual Feed engaged.

● Materials that tend to stretch easily should be stabilized.

- Keyhole buttonholes are particularly durable and prominent if sewn with a gimp thread (see section "keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread").

- Linen buttonholes look more dense and attractive when embroidery or darning thread is used.

f you wish to create perfect buttonholes of a uni-form size, even on the most difficult materials, we recommend you use the buttonhole guide. Attach the buttonhole foot No. 5A. If you are working with thick materials such as overcoats, we recommend using foot 1A and the Dual Feed together with the buttonhole guide.

All of the following buttonholes can be sewn with the buttonhole guide.

nserting the buttonhole guide:

. Remove the detachable work support.
: Push the metal part of the buttonhole guide into the slot below the needle plate from the rear (between the two arrows). The white plastic part is over the needle plate.
. Push the guide forwards until the catch lies against the rear of the free-arm. The guide must spring back a little to obtain a small distance between the needle plate and catch. Without this clearance, the second bartack of the buttonhole will not be sewn.
inserting the buttonhole guide activates the tensor.

The total length of the buttonhole is defined during the sewing operation with the help of the "reverse" key (27). Sew the first buttonhole seam in the length required. You can orientate yourself on the red markings on the buttonhole foot. Press the "reverse" key. The machine now sews the first bartack and the second buttonhole bead.

Shortly before the buttonhole is finished, the sewing machine reduces sewing speed. As soon as the second buttonhole bead has reached the length of the first bead you must press the "reverse" key again. The machine sews the second bartack and ties off. When the buttonhole is finished, all following buttonholes can be sewn fully automatically in the same length. In the display you will see the message:

"auto buttonhole".

display clear edit

Self defining the second bartack (semi automatic)

With difficult fabrics such as velvet, it can happen that the machine feeds the fabric unevenly and that the buttonhole beads are therefore not the same length.

It is possible to define the second seam yourself for all of the programmed buttonholes. If you press the "reverse" key before you start sewing or while sewing, the message appears: "Finish manually".

The buttonhole will then be sewn automatically, however, the sewing machine will reduce the sewing speed before the buttonhole is finished. As soon as the second buttonhole bead is as long as the first seam, press the "reverse" key. The Creative will sew the second bartack and tie-off.

Important: The self definition of the second bartack with "finish manually" must be carried out for each buttonhole separately.

Tip: You can stop the slow sewing at the end of the reverse bead by removing your foot from the foot control. As soon as you re-engage the foot control, the machine finishes sewing the button-hole at normal speed.

Deleting the programming:

The programming of the buttonhole is deleted by selecting another program.

Adapting the buttonhole bead length with the balance

On highly slippery fabrics it may happen that the stitch density of the left bead turns out differently to that of the right bead. In this case, the bead density can be adjusted using the balance. The balance appears on the right in the display and can be set with the numbered keys 9 and 0.

d + b

And this is how to adjust the balance:

If the seam is too short (ill. a) you must use key 0 to move more to the plus side.

The higher the plus number, the longer the reverse stitches, i.e. the left buttonhole bead becomes automatically longer.

If the left buttonhole seam is too long (ill. b) you must use the 9 key to move more to the minus side. The higher the number in the minus area, the shorter the reverse stitches, i.e. the left buttonhole seam becomes automatically shorter.

Buttonholes with gimp thread

Buttonholes which are sewn with a gimp thread are more durable and neater. Use pearl cotton or regular gimp thread as available at your sewing machine dealer.

Place the gimp thread over the back ridge A of the buttonhole foot, pull the thread ends forwards and clamp them to the right and left respectively of the front ridge B.

Round buttonhole

Important! The round buttonhole should be placed with the round end facing the edge. The sewing of the buttonhole, however, begins at the bartack.

Always sew the buttonholes from the inside outwards towards the edge.

Mark the length of the buttonhole on the fabric first, making sure to measure from the starting point inwards.

The round buttonhole is automatically sewn between a length of 7 and 40 mm. The width is between 4 and 7 mm.

• Select buttonhole No. 38.
• The pre-programmed buttonhole length of 22 mm appears in the display. If you wish, you can alter this length with the numbered keys 7 and 8.
• The second bartack can also be self defined for this buttonhole (see standard buttonhole).

The stitch density cannot be changed for this buttonhole. Therefore you should sew this button-hole with a stronger thread or gimp thread if required (see section "Buttonhles with gimp thread").

The stitch density of the second bead can be adjusted with the balance.

Important! Before you start the buttonhole, push the runner of buttonhole foot No. 5 A forwards up to the second red mark.

Keyhole buttonholes

Important! The keyhole buttonhole should be placed with the round end facing the edge. The sewing of the buttonhole, however, starts at the bartack. Mark the buttonhole length on the fabric first, making sure to mark from the starting points to the inside.

Always sew the buttonholes from the inside outwards to the edge.

The keyhole buttonhole is automatically sewn between a length of 10 and 40 mm. The width is between 5.5 and 8.5 mm.

• Select buttonhole No. 39.
• The pre-programmed buttonhole length of 22 mm appears in the display. If you wish, you can alter this length with the numbered keys 7 and 8.
• The second bartack can also be self defined for this buttonhole (see standard buttonhole).
• The stitch density cannot be changed for this buttonhole. Therefore you should sew this buttonhole with a stronger thread or gimp thread if required (see section "Buttonholes with gimp thread").

Important! Before you start the buttonhole, push the runner of buttonhole foot No. 5 A forwards up to the second red mark.

Tip: Cut open all buttonholes with the seam ripper. Use an awl to perforate the round end of the keyhole buttonhole.

Important: The sewing foot may not be raised during this procedure!

• Pull the gimp thread to the left and backwards until the loop is just in front of the needle.
• Now sew the eyelet carefully.

- Then, hold the gimp thread slightly tauter and finish sewing the buttonhole. Cut off the loose ends of the gimp thread. The round buttonhole with gimp thread is sewn in the same way.

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

Needle thread tension

To achieve the optimum results from your sewing machine, the needle thread tension and the bobbin thread tension must be correctly adjusted to each other. The normal setting for utility stitches is between 3 and 5.

Check the tension with a wide zigzag stitch. The thread interlace must be between the layers of fabric.

If the needle thread tension is too tight, the thread interlace will be on the upper side of the fabric. If the needle thread tension is too loose, the thread interlace will be on the reverse side of the fabric.

The adjustment of the bobbin thread tension is described on page 25.

Top stitching

The program 00 allows you to change the needle position with the numbered keys 5 and 6 in such a way that you can guide the sewing foot along the edge of the fabric while doing top stitching. If, however, you wish to carry out wider spaced top stitching, this is made easier for you by the engraved guide-lines on the needle plate or by the guide rule 8. The guide rule is placed in hole C and screwed tight with set screw F.

Sewing help for thick seams

In order to guarantee the uniform feed of the fabric when beginning sewing, we recommend that the sewing foot be propped up to the height of the fabric by a piece of fabric of the same thickness.

Hems with the twin needle

Prog. 00

You can sew professional hems quickly and easily on stretch fabrics such as T-shirts, knits or bicycle shorts with the twin needle. The twin needle is available in various widths. The normal width for top stitching is 4 mm. Before switching on the prog. 00, press key 2 "twin needle".

• First iron the hem crease at the desired width.
• Then sew through the hem from the face side of the fabric.
• Finally cut the overhanging edge of the hem up to the seam.

Tip: For difficult fabrics such as ribbing knits it is advisable to baste the hem over before sewing.

Threading the twin needle

Replace the sewing needle with the twin needle.

• Swing the second spool holder up and place one spool onto each spool holder.
• The tension disk a is in the threading slot (33). Take care when threading that one of the threads passes on the left and the other on the right of the tension disk.

32

• The threads are the threaded as usual, taking care that they do not get twisted with each-other.
• Pull the threads into the right and left thread guide (32) respectively and thread the needles

Gathering with straight stitch

If you wish to gather sleeves, skirts, cuffs or valances, this technique is the easiest and most commonly used. To obtain neat and even gathers, you should sew two or three gathering seams.

Select program 00 and lengthen the stitch length to 6 mm. The needle thread tension should be reduced to 3.

• Mark the first line on the face side of the fabric and sew this seam. Leave about a 10–20 cm thread tail.
  ● Further seams can be sewn at one sewing foot width from each other.

● Gather the fabric by pulling the bobbin threads of the seams. You determine the amount of gather yourself.
- Spread out the folds created by the gathering evenly and then tie the thread on the reverse side. This secures the gather.

Gathering with elastic threads

This kind of gathering is particularly suitable for visible, elastic gathering on blouse sleeves, waist seams or neck cutouts.

• Mark the first gathering seam line on the reverse side of the fabric.
• Allow program 14 to sew a few stitches and stop with the needle in the fabric. The needle must be positioned in the middle of the sewing foot. Then lift the sewing foot and place the elastic thread around the needle.

• Lower the sewing foot and sew a few stitches. Then pull both ends of the elastic threads.

• You determine the amount of gather by the amount you pull the threads as you sew.

• You can also change the amount of gather after sewing by pulling the ends of the elastic threads.
• Tie off the threads.

Tip: The pintuck foot (special accessories) is particularly suitable for gathering. Due to its guide grooves, the elastic is fed uniformly during the sewing process.

Smocking

Smocking is a technique with which several seams sewn parallel to each other produce a gathering effect which is mainly used for children's wear and corsetry. There are different techniques:

1) Smocking with gimp thread (non-elastic)

Prog. 14 or 18

For beautiful smocking effects you will need two and one half to three times the desired finished width of fabric. The smocked section is usually made before the rest of the garment. Light, firm materials such as batiste or fine linen are best suited for this technique. Draw a straight line on the fabric as a guideline for the first gathering seam using a disappearing-ink marker or almost invisible non-greasy chalk. Attach the appliqué foot (special accessories) and the edge guide bar. Place the fabric to be smocked face side down under the sewing foot and introduce the gimp thread under the sewing foot in such a way that it runs exactly along the groove in the foot. Now sew the first row of smocking and leave about a 10 cm (4-5 inches) thread tail at the beginning and end of the seam. Then place the edge guide bar at the desired distance to the first row (approx. 2–2.5 cm = 1/2–3/4 of an inch). Varying the distance between rows creates different gathering effects. Now sew the next row of smocking using the edge guide bar on the first row as a guideline. Continue in this manner until you have sewn as many rows as the design requires. Then carefully pull the ends of the gimp thread and gather the fabric uniformly over its entire width.

2) Smocking with elastic thread Prog. 00

For this technique, elastic thread is wound onto the bobbin without tension. The needle thread is a regular sewing or embroidery thread. Since elastic threads are much thicker than normal bobbin threads, the tension on the bobbin case must be set extremely loose. However, the tighter you set the bobbin-thread tension, the greater the gathering effect you obtain. We recommend that an additional bobbin case be used for this work. For this kind of smocking, fine and light materials such as light-knit fabric, silk or satin are also suitable.

• Always sew a test seam first, to test the level of gather.
• Draw the first line on the face side of the fabric and then sew along this line.
• The following seams can be sewn at one sewing-foot width to the first row.
• When sewing several, parallel seams, the material must be stretched to its original length to avoid uneven gathers.
• Tie off the threads on the reverse side.

Darning with straight stitch Prog. 00

Attach the darning foot:

Set the needle at its highest position and push the pin of the darning foot fully into the hole C of the sewing foot holder. When doing this, the guide fork G should position itself around the presser bar. The arm E must be behind the fixing screw F. Now tighten screw D.

Darning position:

Lower the presser-foot lifter while pushing it lightly to the rear. This snaps the presser-foot lifter into notch B (darning position).

• Place the darning work in the darning hoop.
• Drop the feed dog.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when you start sewing.
• Darn the damaged area by guiding the fabric back and forth evenly in the prescribed direction while ensuring that each line ends with a small curve. This helps to avoid the fabric ripping again.
• When you have finished sewing the damaged area, rotate the fabric a half turn and darn the area once again.

You determine the stitch length yourself by moving the fabric back and forth at the required speed.

Tip: If you are moving the fabric too slowly, small knots will appear on the reverse side of the fabric.

Darning with elastic stitch

Prog. 03

The elastic stitch is very suitable for repairing holes, tears and damaged areas.

Depending on the size of the damaged area, sew over this area with rows of elastic stitches until it is well covered. When doing so, make sure that the stitch rows overlap each other.

Sewing on patches

The best way to darn larger holes is to cover the damaged area with a piece of new material.

Baste the piece of new material from the face side and overstitch its edges with the elastic stitch 03. Now cut back the damaged material up to the seam on the reverse side.

Tip: In order to turn at the corners more easily, use the "needle down" function.

Darning tears

When mending tears, frayed edges or small holes, it is advisable to lay a small piece of fabric under the reverse side of the material. This piece of fabric strengthens the material and guarantees a perfect dam.

Place a piece of fabric under the reverse side of the material to be darned. The piece of fabric used should be a little larger than the damaged area. Overstitch the damaged area in accordance with the size of the tear using prog. 03. Cut back the piece of fabric as far as possible.

Sewing in zippers

Prog. 00

There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts we recommend the zipper concealed on both sides, for ladies' or mens'trousers, the zipper concealed on one side. Several types of zippers are available at retail outlets. We recommend metal zippers for strong fabrics such as jeans. For all other materials we recommend a plastic zipper.

for all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the zipper. This is why the zipper foot can be engaged on the left or the right side of the sewing-foot holder.

additionally, you can set the needle so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by sing one of the Creative's 19 needle positions. The foot is engaged right, the needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is engaged left, the needle must only be moved to the left.

Inserting zippers concealed on both sides

• Attach the zipper foot on the right side.
• Baste the zipper on and place it under the sewing foot so that the teeth run at the side of the foot. Bring the needle into the desired, right hand position.
• Sew in half of the zipper, leave the needle in the material, raise the sewing foot and zip the zipper closed.
• Now you can sew the rest of the seam to the end of the zipper and stitch the crosswise seam.

Trouser zippers

• Iron a fold into the seam allowance on the zipper seam ensuring that the overlap protrudes about 4 mm.
• Baste the zipper under the overlapping edge so that the teeth are still visible.
• Engage the zipper foot on the right and set the needle at the required position.

• Stitch along the edge of the zipper.

• Shortly before the end of the seam, open the zipper and finish sewing the seam.

• Close the zipper and baste the overlap evenly onto the other zipper half.
  • The stitch along the basted seam.

Tip: Using the edge guide you will achieve an accurate second seam.

Roll hemming

With hemmer No. 7 and Prog. 00 you can hem blouses, silk scarves and vallances quickly and easily without having to pre-iron the edges. Hemming secures the edges against fraying, in a tidy and durable way.

• Fold the beginning of the fabric edge twice (each time approx. 2 mm).
• Place the folded fabric-edge under the hemmer and sew a few stitches.
• Leave the needle in the fabric, lift the sewing foot, and pull the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer.
• Lower the foot and pull the fabric uniformly into the scroll of the hemmer. Make sure that the fabric does not come under the right half of the foot.

Prog. 00

You can produce beautiful effects by inserting lace, in for example, children's clothing.

• First, baste the lace onto the face side of the fabric.

• Stitch both sides of the lace using a narrow zigzag.

• Cut open the fabric under the lace at the middle and iron it over to the side.

• Stitch over both edges of the lace with small and dense zigzag stitches.
• Cut back the excess material.

Lace trims

You can beautify or simply change the look of table cloths, napkins or garments with lace trims.

And this is how it's done:

• Serge the raw edges.

• Stitch the lace onto the face side of the fabric up to the first corner.

• Fold over the corners and stitch them diagonally.

• Repeat this procedure for the other sides.

shell edging is especially attractive on thin, soft materials such as silk and rayon. It is often used as a border on lingerie. The higher the needlebread tension, the deeper the shell edge.

Serge the edge of the fabric and iron the inlay to the reverse side.

Take care that only half of the fabric lies under the sewing foot. This intensifies the shell-edge effect.

Tip: By sewing a colored woollen yarn or pearl cotton into the shell edging, you strengthen the shell edge while at the same time producing a colourful contrast.

General tips on embroidering

Embroidering does require some practice, but with the right tips and hints, it can be easy to achieve beautiful embroidery results.

Thread tension

In general, a looser thread tension is used for embroidery work than for utility sewing ( ±3 ).

In addition, the bobbin thread tension has to be increased by turning the adjusting screw on the bobbin case slightly to the right. This makes the embroidery more uniform and bolder (see page 25).

Sewing feet

The most suitable sewing foot for embroidery work is No. 2A.

Remember! Never engage the Dual Feed when doing embroidery work as this could cause a distortion in the embroidery pattern.

Balance

Each pattern in the machine is pre-programmed with its optimum length and width settings. If you are embroidering on difficult materials such as jersey, silk or heavy woollens however, you should adjust your pattern with the balance. (see page 47).

Stabilizing the fabric

Whether working on heavy or thin materials, the result will be better if the fabric has been stabilized. Many materials tend to pucker, particularly when using dense embroidery stitches. Therefore, we recommend:

Apply iron-on or tear-away stabilizer under the fabric to be embroidered. This will stabilize it and can be removed quickly and easily after the embroidery work has been completed.

Water soluble stabilizers are transparent gelatine stabilizers which you place under the fabric and overstitch. After the embroidery work has been completed, this stabilizer can be effortlessly removed by rinsing under running water. Alternatively, a gel stabilizer can be used to stabilize the fabric. The gel has a similar effect to spray-on starch. It has to dry after being applied but it becomes very stiff and can be embroidered on most materials without a paper underlay. After the completion of the embroidery work, the gel can be washed out easily.

Borders

Here are some examples of how you can create borders of any width by combining various embroidery programs. Machine embroidery-threads are particularly suitable here. They are available in many colors and thicknesses. You should however, always use threads of the same thickness when embroidering.

Twin-needle sewing

You can achieve beautiful effects when embroidering with the twin needle. Embroideries turn out best with a stitch width of 1.6–3 mm. Embroideries are particularly effective if two embroidery threads of similar shades are chosen.

If you wish to sew embroidery programs with the twin needle, press the "twin needle" key (2). The stitch width is then automatically reduced to avoid the needle hitting the sewing foot.

Threading the twin needle

Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle.

• Swing the second spool holder up and place one spool on each of the spool holders.

• The tension disk a is in the left threading slot (33). Take care when threading that one thread passes to the left and one to the right of this disk.

• Thread the threads as usual, taking care not to get them tangled.

• Pull the threads into the thread guide (32), one to the left and one to the right, and thread the needles.

Embroidering large motifs

With a little imagination, you can combine the embroidery programs of the Creative 7530 to create any number of new embroidery patterns. Geometrical forms are particularly suitable for the foundation. These can be transferred to the material by means of templates. An oval served as the basis for the baby shoes pictured.

Leather embroidery

You can embroider leather without any problems what so ever with the Creative 7530.

Do not set the stitch length too dense because leather perforates very easily.

Embroidering on leather is even easier with the teflon foot (special accessories). Due to its teflon layer, the foot glides easily over the leather. Depending on the thickness of the leather and the thread, we recommend a special leather-needle or a needle with a large eye (130 N).

Alphabets

You can "write" initials, names or whole texts like a professional with the Creative. In this way you can quickly and easily transform clothing and lend towels, handkerchiefs, scarves, almost anything, an individual touch. The Creative 7530 offers you 4 different alphabets:

Script a in lower case "a"

Script a in upper case "A"

Block letters in upper case "A"

Outline c in upper case "A"

Cursive d in upper case "A".

All of the Alphabets contain numbers and punctuation marks (e.g. a "0").

By pressing the pattern selection key "A-z" (21), you select the script alphabet. The letter "a" is displayed and can be sewn immediately.

With the numbered program keys 1 and 2 you select your desired alphabet with its numbers and punctuation marks.

With the numbered program keys 3 and 4 you can select the desired letter or number. The size of the characters can be changed with keys 5 and 6.

These letterings can be sewn in a pattern width of up to 9 mm and can be combined in the M-Memory as letter sequences (see pages 53-59).

Monograms

Whether working with terry-cloth or woven fabric, with the help of the darning foot and program 02 you can embroider initials of your own design.

Sewing this way without a set pattern does, however, require a little practice.

Here is how it is done:

• Draw the initials onto the fabric with an invisible-ink marker.
• Drop the feed dog and attach the darning foot (see page 125).
• Place stabilizer under the fabric.
• Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop and embroider in accordance with program 02. Don't forget the darning position.
• Tie off the threads and remove the stabilizer.

Tip: By sewing quickly and moving the material slowly, you stitch densely.

When embroidering on terry cloth, the monogram must first be sewn with a narrow zigzag stitch and then overstitched with a wider zigzag stitch. In this way the terry cloth loops are completely sewn over.

Embroidering block letters is somewhat easier. Here the feed dog is not dropped, you can simply sew along the lines with program 02.

• Stabilize the fabric.
• Draw the monogram onto the fabric.
• Sew along the lines you have sketched with program 02.

Cross stitches

Cross stitch embroideries have always been important within traditional, ethnic embroidery techniques.

What used to be stitched by hand with a great deal of effort can now be sewn with the Creative 7530 surprisingly quickly and easily.

Whether you select the pre-programmed cross stitch borders or create your own combinations with the cross stitch programs, these patterns look as if they have been sewn by hand and lend a special touch to table linen, towels or garments.

Tips for cross stitch embroidering:

• Always sew your work using the "slow sewing" function (3).
• Use stitch foot No. 2A. Its red guide lines are exactly adapted to the size of the cross stitches.
• Use only machine embroidery threads for cross stitching, e.g. MEZ embroidery.
• Place a stabilizer under the fabric.
• We recommend using an embroidery hoop when working with very soft materials.
• you can also use Aida material as used for cross stitches done by hand. You can change the length and width of the cross stitches of your Creative 7530 in accordance with the size of the Aida count.

Embroidering cross stitch motifs with programs 85-94

You can combine the individual cross stitch programs using your imagination to achieve large area cross stitch motifs or beautiful borders. These combinations are entered into different M-memories which are then sewn successively next to each other. To do this follow these steps:

Draw the desired cross stitch motif on graph paper.

Divide this motif into blocks which can be entered into the memories as pattern combinations.

Now mark the starting point of the first cross stitch in each memory. The start and end points of the cross stitches are particularly important as they determine the stitch direction. A cross stitch that finishes on the right can only be combined with a cross stitch that starts on the right. The starting points are marked with a small circle and the end points are marked with a dot.

ip: With the "☐" key, you can transfer starting points from left to right and from right to left.

• Mark each memory with a number and arrows for the respective sewing direction.
• Press the "m" key for pattern sequence.
• Now enter the selected cross stitches into an empty M-Memory.
• To sew the pattern, recall the programmed memories successively by pressing the "single pattern" key "◀".
• After you have finished sewing the first memory, pull the threads to the reverse side of the fabric and knot them together.
• Select the next memory. When you position the sewing foot, watch the crosswise lines on stitch foot 2A. They should be aligned with the starting points of the adjoining cross stitches.
• Allow the left metal edge in the window of the foot to move exactly along the line of the previously sewn pattern. In this way you can avoid spaces between adjoining pattern sequences.
• Sew the individual memories one after the other. Then iron the embroidered motif on the reverse side of the fabric.

Appliqué

Appliqués are quickly made and always produce a beautiful effect. The appliqué foot (special accessories) allows you to achieve perfect, densely stitched seams because it has a special cutout on the underside for the purl seam. It also allows you to turn on corners and curves with ease.

Prepare the appliqué as follows: Design a motif that you would like to appliqué onto the background. Iron paper-backed fusing web onto the back of the pieces of the motif. Now pull the paper off the pieces to be appliquéd and iron these onto the fabric according to the motif.

Now you can start: Overstitch all of the contours with the zigzag stitch, the finer the thread, the more densely the stitch length should be set. When you reach a curve, use the "needle down" function to help you guide the work more easily and achieve a more uniform seam. Make sure that the needle stitches completely over the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later.

Tip: A particularly attractive stitch for appliqué work is stitch No. 16. The zigzag seam is broader and flatter with this stitch. Nevertheless, take care to use a very fine thread for this stitch and set the stitch length at approx. 0.4–0.5.

Linen embroidery

Linen embroidering is a very well known and well-loved technique. For this special white-on-white embroidery, filled in embroidery designs are most suitable to make the embroidery more prominent. Always use special embroidery threads and tear-away stabilizer as an underlay. Transfer the desired pattern, i.e. an iron-on pattern or a pattern drawn with a disappearing ink pen, onto the face side of the fabric. Our example consists of the following programs:

- For the petals select program No. 114. Press the key "single pattern" (16).

Pattern length: 35 mm

Stitch width: 6 mm

- Using program No. 150, stitch the points at the top end of the petals.

Stitch width: ∅ 5 mm

- Now stitch the contours using zigzag stitch No. 02.

Stitch width: 2 mm

Stitch length: 0.35 mm

- For the flowers right and left of the motif use pattern No. 122.

Stitch width: 7 mm

Pattern length: 14 mm

- Embroider the edge of the napkin using zigzag stitch No. 02.

Stitch width: 4 mm

Stitch length: 0.35 mm

This very artistic form of bar and eyelet embroidery is easy to create with your sewing machine.

• Transfer your pattern onto the face side of the fabric using a disappearing ink pen.
• Then place two layers of water soluble stabilizer under the area to be embroidered and tighten the fabric and backing in an embroidery hoop.

• To make the embroidery more stable, sew around all contours twice in straight stitch No. 00 (stitch length at approx. 1 mm).

• Then carefully cut out the fabric from the areas that will form the cutouts at about 2 mm from their contours. Do not cut away the stabilizer!

• Embroider the contours with a dense zigzag stitch No. 02.
• The backing material provides this part of the work with much more shape and stability.
• Finally, all you have to do is dissolve the stabilizer in cold water and your piece of unique embroidery is ready.

lemstitching

Everyone knows this technique – but only done by hand. With the Creative 7530, you can produce hemstitching much quicker and easier. 0 special hemstitching programs are at your disposal and by changing the stitch lengths and widths, you can achieve new effects every time. for hemstitching you need a wing needle. Only for very fine fabrics is a normal sewing needle, size 80, used. Coarse-weave fabric from which you can pull individual threads is the most suitable for hemstitching. Embroidery and darning thread, particularly cotton, is very suitable. Use the hemstitching programs of your Creative 7530 to produce different techniques.

Eyelet embroidery

With the help of the eyelet plate (special accessories) you can produce beautiful eyelet embroideries with your Creative which traditionally required a great deal of time and trouble.

It is very effective in blouses and bed and table linen. Nearly every pattern in the Creative 7530 is suitable, whether utility stitches such as the zigzag stitch, blind stitch, elastic stitch or fancy stitches.

Program 32 in combination with the "pattern mirror" key (18) is particularly suitable for classical eyelet embroidery. Here the needle position is left and the machine stitches uniformly around the hole at the stitch width that you have selected.

A

And here is how it is done:

• Remove the sewing foot.
• Place the eyelet plate onto the needle plate making sure that pin A fits into the middle cut-out of the needle plate. Then push the eyelet plate down at the front.
• Place the marked fabric in an embroidery hoop.
• Cut one or two fabric threads and push the fabric over the pin in the eyelet plate.

The fabric must fit tightly around the pin.

• Place the presser foot lifter in darning position.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold it for the first few stitches.
• Stitch around the cut with your chosen program. While doing so, turn the hoop slowly. The stitches must be very close to each other.
• Then secure with a few straight stitches.

Quilting

Quilting is a traditional sewing technique. This method which was developed by the wives of American settlers to make use of leftover materials, has become an artistic hobby with many enthusiasts worldwide.

A quilt always consists of three layers of material. Lots of geometrically shaped pieces of material are joined together in continually changing patterns to form the top layer of the quilt. This is then tacked to the middle layer made of batting and connected to the back layer of the quilt that usually consists of one uniform piece of material.

The entire quilt is often also bordered with the back layer. Of course, the work of piecing the individual bits of material together must be very precise. The Dual Feed (IDT-System) is of great importance when doing this, so that the parts do not move and so that they join up to each other exactly. Even when sewing and embroidering over the three layers of a quilt, you achieve optimal sewing results with the Dual Feed. The quilt or patchwork foot (special accessories) is particularly suitable for quilting. Here the distance between the needle and the edge of the foot is 1/4 of an inch/0.635 cm.

Black-and-white abstract composition with geometric shapes and textures (no text or symbols)

and this is how it is done:

Cut out the pieces of your quilt with templates you have made or bought. A seam allowance of 0.635 cm (0.4 of an inch) should already be included in the templates.
- Arrange the pieces as in the pattern and form small squares that you can match together. These squares are then sewn together to form the surface of the quilt.
The seam allowances of quilts are not serged.

• Baste your finished quilt top onto the layer of batting with the back layer of the quilt underneath.
• In traditional quilts, these three layers of material are sewn together by hand with small stitches but this is quicker and more practical with the sewing machine.

Felling foot

Lap-felled seams are particularly durable and therefore well known as the typical denim seam. They are also suitable for sportswear, children's wear, blouses and shirts. You can make these seams particularly decorative by using a sewing thread of a contrasting color. The felling foot is available in two different widths (for light-weight and heavy-weight fabrics).

• Attach the felling foot.
• Place the fabric wrong sides together.
• Overlap the raw edge of the lower layer by about 1–1.5 cm (3/8 to 5/8).
• Now place this overlapping edge over the tongue of the felling foot. The fabric must be placed fully under the sewing foot.
• Sew along the folded edge with straight stitch.
• Afterwards, pull the fabric layers apart and feed the protruding hem into the felling foot. The hem is turned over by the foot and top-stitched along the edge. Pull the two fabric layers apart during sewing.

Appliqué foot

Appliqués are quickly done and always produce a beautiful effect. By using different materials and patterns you can create countless new designs. You can make a perfect, densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot which has a special cutout on the underside for the zigzag seam.

• Attach the appliqué foot onto the sewing machine.
• Transfer your drafted pattern to the paper side of the fusible web. Remember that any numbers or letters have to be drawn as a mirror image.
• Now iron the backing fabric onto the appliqué material. Cut the motif out and pull the paper off.
• Iron the appliqué parts onto the base material.
• Then stitch all contours with narrow and dense zigzag stitches. When you reach a curve, use the "needle down" function to help you guide the work more easily. Also make sure that the needle stitches over the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later.

Fringe foot

With this special foot for loop embroidery you can produce fantastic effects in no time.

• Mark out your desired pattern with chalk or a disappearing ink pen.
• Use a stabilizer for the material.
• Attach the fringe foot.
• Embroider the motif row by row. For circles you have to work from the outside inwards.
• When using thicker threads you may have to select a longer stitch length; it is best to sew a test seam first.
• When you have finished, pull the work out of the machine carefully because if you pull too fast, you will pull the loops tight.
• Knot the threads on the reverse side.

Program: 02

Stitch length: 0.35-1

Stitch width: 1.5–2.5

Tension: 2-3

Cording foot

The classical sewing technique of pin tucking can be used perfectly well on many fabrics such as cottons and light woollens.

• Attach the cording foot (5 grooves for thicker materials, 7 grooves for finer materials).
• Change the needle to a twin needle (1.6 or 2 mm needle clearance) e.g. 130/705 H-ZWI needle thickness 80.
• Thread up the two needles.
• Now set the needle thread tension tight (at about 5) to make the seam more prominent.
• Sew one row of tucking. When you sew the second row you can let the first row run parallel in one of the foot's grooves. This ensures that the spaces between the rows always remain the same.

Tip: If you wish to emphasize the cording effect, you can fit a "cording blade" on the front edge of the needle plate.

Cording foot with 5 grooves – large cording blade Cording foot with 7 grooves – small cording blade Sewing with a gimp thread makes a similar effect. However, with a gimp thread you work without a cording blade.

• First remove the needle plate.
• Thread the gimp thread upwards through the hole in the needle plate.
• Return the needle plate to its position. The notch between the needle plate and the sewing machine provides space for the gimp thread. This thread must be fed under the detachable work support, so that it does not become tangled during sewing.
• While sewing the cording, the material must be pulled lightly.

Single needle cording foot

Cording is a technique in which pearl cotton or a fine cord is overstitched to produce a purl seam. With this technique you can obtain a similar effect to braiding. Appliqués can also be made more impressive by this seam.

• Attach the single needle cording foot.
• Place the gimp thread into the foot so that it leads through one of the grooves at the front and lies under the sewing foot at the back.
• Now overstitch the gimp thread with narrow, dense zigzag stitches.

Tip: You can obtain a remarkable effect by over-stitching a medium pearl thread with a thread of a different color.

Shirring foot

Beautiful gathering effects on, for example, children's wear or curtains, can be achieved quickly and easily with the shirring foot.

• Attach the shirring foot by hooking the rear bar of the foot into the rear groove of the foot holder. Push the foot upwards until it snaps into the front bar.
• Place the fabric to be gathered under the sewing foot and the fabric to remain flat, downwards through the foot cutout. The fabric layers lie face side to face side.
• During sewing, you must pull the top fabric a little. The harder you pull, the greater the gathering effect you create.
• Be sure to guide the fabric edges evenly through the foot.
• Disengage the shirring foot by pushing it down at the front and remove it in the direction of the groove of the sewing foot holder at the back.

Tip: By increasing the needle thread tension and the stitch length, you can increase the gathering effect.

Knit edge foot

The knit-edge foot makes it easy to sew thick seams on knitted fabrics or imitation fur. To obtain a perfect seam on shapecut parts, we recommend adding a yarn under slight tension and overstitching it at the same time.

Multi-stitch gathering foot

With the multi-stitch gathering foot you can make narrow or wide spaced pleats automatically while sewing. This is very useful for ruffles, home textiles etc.

The multi-stitch gathering foot can be used in three different ways:

1. Folding the fabric in pleats.
2. Folding the fabric in pleats and sewing them on simultaneously.
3. Folding the fabric in pleats, sewing them on and sewing lace on all at the same time.

When you buy the multi-stitch gathering foot from your PFAFF dealer, you receive a full description with it.

Bias tape binder

Binding with bias tape is a very easy method of giving fabric edges a smooth and neat appearance. For this you need unfolded bias tape about 24 mm (one inch) wide.

• Remove the sewing foot holder and the sewing foot and screw on the binder.
• Cut the beginning of the bias tape at a diagonal.
• Push the tape into the scroll of the binder and pull out to the back.
• Adjust the binder so that the needle enters at about 1–1.5 mm (1/16") from the folded-in edge of the bias tape. This can also be achieved by changing the needle position.
• Stitch a few centimetres (about an inch) along the bias tape.
• Insert the edge to be bound into the slot of the binder. The raw edge must be placed between the bias tape edges. The bias tape encloses the raw edge automatically.

Tip: You can obtain an additional effect by using zigzag stitches or fancy stitches.

Removal

To make it easier to change the bulb, we recommend placing the sewing machine on the handwheel as illustrated.

• Hold the machine securely.
• Push the bulb into its holder as far as it will go and turn it counter-clockwise (half a turn) to remove it.

Insertion

• Insert the bulb in the diagonal holder and turn it so that both stops of the bulb engage.
• Now push the bulb fully into the holder and turn it clockwise until it is held firmly.

Important

The maximum permissible bulb wattage is 15 Watts!

Tip: If you lift the carrying handle, you will see a small hole on its left hand side. By inserting edge guide No. 3 into this hole, you press down the lamp housing a little, making it easier to change the light bulb.

Solution:

1. The machine skips stitches

Needle is not properly inserted.

A wrong needle has been inserted.

Needle is bent or blunt.

Machine is not properly threaded.

Needle is too small for thread.

Push needle fully upwards,

flat side to the back.

Use needle system 130/705 H.

Insert a new needle.

Check the threading paths.

Use a larger needle.

2. The needle thread breaks

See 1.

Thread tension is too tight.

Thread is poor or has slubs in it or it has become dry after too long in storage.

Thread is too thick.

See 1.

Adjust thread tension.

Only use quality threads.

Use a needle with a larger eye (System 130 N).

3. Needle breaks off

Needle not pushed in fully.

Needle is bent.

Needle is too thick or too thin.

Needle is bent and hits the needle plate because you are pulling or pushing the fabric.

The bobbin case is not properly inserted.

Insert new needle and push it fully in.

Insert new needle.

See needle chart (Pages 169/170).

Let the machine feed the fabric.

Only guide the fabric lightly.

Push the bobbin case in fully when inserting it.

1. Seam is sewn unevenly

The tension needs adjusting.

Thread is too thick, slubbed or hard.

The bobbin thread is unevenly wound.

Thread loops above or below stitches.

Check needle-thread and bobbin-thread tensions.

Use only quality threads.

Do not wind free-hand. Run the thread through the primary tension.

Thread up correctly. Check needle-thread and bobbin-thread tensions.

5. The machine does not feed or feeds irregularly

Sewing lint has collected between the feed dog eeth rows.

feed dog is lowered. Slide B (see page 31) s at right.

Remove needle plate, remove lint with brush.

Push slide B (see page 31) to the left.

3. Machine binds

.oose threads in the hook race:

Remove loose thread and apply one drop of oil to the hook.
