The built in dual feed / IDT System

PFAFF offers the ideal solution for sewing difficult materials: the built in dual feed. This system feed the material from the top and the bottom simultaneously just the same as by 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.

By pressing the cursor key a cross hairs appears on the screen.

The center of the cross hairs indicates the original position of the needle. Use the cursor keys "→" and "←" to determine the reverse correction, which is indicated on the axes of the bar cross and as numeric value "0-7" below symbols "+" and "-". For the sideways correction press key "8" underneath symbol "-" and key "9" underneath "+".

Alphabets/monograms

When pressing key "A-z", five types of alphabet appear in the display: script letters in upper and lower case, block letters, the outline alphabet and a monogram alphabet in lower case. These styles can be sewn with a pattern width of up to 9 mm. Moreover they can be combined as word sequences in the m-memory.

The monogram on the right side of the screen is a crosswise feed pattern with a sewing width of 15 or 18 mm. The individual letters are always sewn as single pattern and word sequences in the m-memory are, therefore, not possible for this monogram style. As a consequence they are not displayed either.

Eight-way feed stitches

With the eight-way feed stitches or connecting stitches you can sew embroidery and utility stitch programs into different directions. By shifting the patterns, new shapes and large-area embroidery motifs will be created. The connecting stitches are stored in the sewing machine computer as crosswise, lengthwise and diagonal programs. You may have to use several connecting stitches to visually separate patterns from each other, e.g. 6 diagonal stitches for 9-mm patterns. Pattern start and end are particularly important when combining a pattern with connecting stitches. The connecting stitches are always sewn from the pattern end in the direction chosen, and continue from the last connecting stitch to the pattern start of the next embroidery program. You can achieve the most beautiful results if the connecting stitches are overstitched by the course of the pattern. It is much easier to create a pattern combination with connecting stitches if you mark the desired pattern on the fabric first, divide it into embroidery patterns and connecting stitches and enter them into a memory.

The Creative allows you to save up to 32 pattern sequences (9-mm patterns or maxi patterns), eight-way feed stitches, self-created patterns from the Designer (see Designer Instructions, page 47), and up to 56 embroidery patterns from the embroidery device on the "Creative card". This ensures that the patterns you have created yourself are saved for good. This way you can delete M and P-memories to make room for new patterns without having to fear the loss of a single pattern or pattern sequence.

A number must be assigned to each new "Creative card". This number must be entered since the

machine recognizes the card by its number. Never assign a number twice. Write the number onto the card's label for your information.

Straight stitch

Program 00 is the basic straight stitch with 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 7, 8 and 9 you can select the Creative's 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.

Programmable seam length for straight stitch Program 00

If you wish to join patchwork parts of equal size, program 00 allows you to program the seam length. Place the fabrics right sides together under the sewing foot. Sew the first seam. When you have sewn the desired seam length, press the reverse key. A tack will be sewn automatically at the beginning and the end of the seam. Now the seam has been programmed and can be sewn with this length as often as you require (see page X for more detailed description).

• Sew one stitch, then pull the fabric the required amount to the rear.
• Repeat this as many times as you need to finish the seam.

TIP: To prevent the fabric plies 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 must not be lowered!

Zigzag stitch

Program 02

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 key "", the stitch width changes starting from the left needle position, e.g. for eyelet embroidery and cording work.

Blind stitch

Blind stitch 04 is best suited for invisible hems; sewing by hand is unnecessary.

• 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.

TIP: If you wish to topstitch a collar edge with program 01, use the function "needle down" and "single pattern". Do not press the single pattern key until you reach the last stitch before the corner. The machine thus stops after the stitch, and the needle stays in the material. Now turn the fabric and switch off the "single pattern" key.

Stretch triple zigzag stitch

Program 22

The stretch triple zigzag stitch 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.

Elastic stitch

Program 03

Due to its high elasticity, this stitch is used for sewing elastic, e.g. on underwear.

• Cut off the old elastic close to the edge.
  ● Gather the fabric with a 6 mm long straight stitch.
• Push the part that you have prepared in this way under the elastic or place it underneath, and pin it firmly in place.
• Sew it on with the elastic stitch. Leave the ends of the elastic tape overlapping a little and sew over them with elastic stitches.
• On skirts or trousers the elastic tape is sewn onto the prepared edge with the elastic stitch.

Overlock stitches

Programs 06, 30–38

For knit and other stretch materials, the Creative offers a selection of overlock stitches. These join two plies 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 quick to sew.

Open overlock stitch

Program 33

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.

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.

Closed overlock stitch

Program 30

Select program 30 if you wish to process materials that fray very much. With this stitch an additional edge thread protects the fabric edge against fraying.

Pullover stitch

Program 36

Program 31

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 under light tension.

Sewing on buttons

Program 09

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

• Remove the sewing foot.
• 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 shank.
• 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.

TIP: By lowering the feed dog buttons can be sewn on even easier.

Linen buttonhole

With program No. 08 you can sew fully automatic linen buttonholes. The buttonhole size of 7–16 mm can be entered using the numbered keys (see section "buttonholes").

Automatic bartack

Programs 24 + 25

With program No. 24 you can sew a fully automatic bartack for strengthening zippers or pocket openings or for attaching belt loops. If you choose a larger size bartack, the stitch density will automatically be increased.

With program No. 25 you can sew professional pocket bartacks as used in the apparel industry. It also provides a highly durable fastening for shoulder straps on handbags.

Arrowhead bartack

Program 26

The arrowhead bartack is always used for seam ends subjected to great strain and possible fraying, e.g. on skirt slashes or pockets. Using a thicker thread the arrowhead bartacks looks like hand-stitched. Using a thread in a contrast color you can achieve decorative effects.

Automatic darning

Program 28 is mainly for strengthening damaged areas of fabric.

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

The saved darning length can now be repeated as often as needed.

Depending on the type of material, the darning pattern may shift to one side. You can straighten the pattern again using the balance (see "balance" section).

If the pattern shifts this way you have to correct the balance in the plus-section.

Darning with straight stitch

Program 00

Fit darning foot No. 6.

Set the needle at its highest position by turning the handwheel, and push the pin of the darning foot fully into the hole of the sewing foot holder slightly pressing the darning foot between thumb and forefinger. When doing this, the guide fork should place itself around the presser bar and the wire must be behind the fixing screw.

Darning position:

Lower the presser foot lifter pressing it lightly to the rear until it snaps into the darning position.

Important! Only in this position you have the optimum thread tension for darning.

• Place the darning work in the darning hoop.
• Lower the feed dog.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when you start sewing.

- Now guide the fabric back and forth evenly; the length of the darn will be set by the size of the hole. As you are determining the stitch length yourself while sewing with the feed dog lowered, you should sew at an even speed. When you have reached the width of the damaged area, darn over the damaged area again from right to left.

This guarantees a durable darn.

TIP: The faster you sew, the easier and more even the darning will be. If you are moving the workpiece too slowly, small knots will appear on the wrong side of the fabric.

Lace trimmings

You can beautify table cloths, napkins or even garments with lace trimmings.

Lace edges

Program 02

Program 00

Serge the raw edges of the fabric with zigzag or overlock stitches. Place the lace onto the fabric so that the edges of the fabric and lace overlap slightly. Then stitch the lace onto the face side.

You can achieve a particularly flat seam if you are joining lace and fabric with a covering stitch. In this case, the lace and fabric edges should also overlap slightly. As the covering stitch will serge the fabric edge at the same time, you only need to cut back the waste material carefully along the seam.

Lace edges with corners

Program 02

Program 00

First serge the raw edges. Stitch the lace onto the face side up to the first corner. Fold the corner and stitch over it diagonally. Sew the lace continuously onto the next edge. All other sides are done in the same way.

Lace inserts

Program 02

Program 00

First baste the lace to the face side of the fabric. Stitch both edges of the lace at a narrow margin using straight stitch 00. 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 waste material on the wrong side of the lace.

Gathering with straight stitch

Program 00

If you wish to gather sleeves, skirts, cuffs or valances, this technique is the easiest and most commonly used.

On the face side of the fabric mark the lines of the gathering seams. Sew the first seam holding the fabric a little taut as the fabric will gather easily at an increased stitch length. Leave about 10 cm (4 or 5 inches) of thread protruding at the beginning and end of the seam.

To obtain neat and even gather you should sew two or three gathering seams close to each other (approx. 0.5 cm = 1/8 of an inch apart). Now gather the part by pulling the bottom threads of the seams. You determine the amount of gather yourself. To avoid thread breakage while pulling the thread ends, do not use very fine threads. Distribute the thus produced pleats evenly and knot the threads on the wrong side.

Gathering with elastic threads

Program 14

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

On the wrong side of the fabric mark the line of the gathering seam. When starting the seam let the needle penetrate into the fabric without lowering the sewing foot. Place the elastic thread around the needle so that two threads are over-stitched. Now lower the sewing foot. If you use the cording foot for gathering, the elastic threads should be inserted into the foot from the side and drawn into the grooves. While sewing the gathering seam, make sure that the elastic thread is not stretched or penetrated by the needle. After finishing the gathering seam you can determine the amount of gather yourself by pulling the ends of the elastic threads. Tie-off the threads.

Close-up of a vertical black zigzag pattern on a textured background (no text or symbols)

Covering seams

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

Fagoting stitch

Program 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 perforates both the right and left hand side pieces of material.

Cross stitch

Program 19

Owing to its high elasticity, the cross stitch is very suitable for decorative hems, e.g. on T-shirts and underwear.

• Serge the fabric edge.
• Baste over the seam margin to the left.
• Stitch over the hem from the face side. When doing so, make sure the fabric edge is properly overstitched.

Abstract zigzag line pattern with no text or symbols

Fancy elastic stitch

Program 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.

Grayscale abstract texture with no discernible text, symbols, or structured elements

Quilt stitch

Program 11

In traditional quilting three fabric layers are joined with small hand-made stitches. This is done quicker and more practical with the sewing machine, e.g. with program 11, see page 143 (Quilt and patchwork foot).

Light-knit mending stitch

Program 35

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 workpiece with an over-lock 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.

The quilt stitch is equally suitable for topstitching jackets and coats. If you use quilt stitch combined with other fancy stitches, you can also produce beautiful pattern combinations.

Abstract pattern of interlocking curved lines forming a dense, wavy structure (no text or symbols)

Darning with elastic stitch

Program 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.

When mending tears, frayed edges or small holes, it is advisable to lay a piece of fabric of the same color which is slightly larger than the damaged area on the wrong side of the material. This piece of fabric strengthens the material and guarantees a perfect darn. Overstitch the damaged area as described above and cut back the piece of fabric on the wrong side as far as possible.

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)

Gimp thread

Programs 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. Insert the appliqué foot, loosen the screw at the rear end of the sewing foot holder, and push the edge guide through the opening. Place the fabric to be smocked face side up 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 10 cm (4-5 inches) of thread protruding from the beginning and end of the seam. Then place the edge guide 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 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 Program 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.

TIP: Always sew a test seam first! Draw the first line on the face side of the fabric and then sew along this line. Make a knot in the thread at the beginning and end of the seam. In the following parallel seams the material must be stretched to its original length as otherwise the gathering would turn out irregular.

Roll hemming with hemmer No. 7 Program 00

Roll hemming secures the edges of chiffon, light-knit and nylon fabrics in a tidy and durable way.

Stretch the fabric before you start sewing. Doing this, you will see in which direction the fabric stretches because the hemming has to be sewn on this side.

Insert the hemmer. Lower the foot, sew a few stitches and pull the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer with the threads of the seam beginning. The zigzag stitch must be set at a width so that the inserted fabric edge is overstitched closely.

Sewing in zippers

Program 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 right up 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 using one of the Creative's 19 needle positions. If 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

• Engage 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.

Technical line drawing of a sewing machine needle and chain assembly (no text or symbols)

• Sew in the second half of the zipper parallel and at the same distance.
• Stop shortly before the seam end and leave the needle in the material. Raise the sewing foot and open the zipper.
• Now the seam can be finished.

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.
• Then stitch along the basted seam.

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

Sewing on patches

Program 15

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

• Cut a piece of fabric that is bigger than the damaged area.

• Enforce the wrong side of the patch with iron-on stabilizer.

• Baste the piece of new material onto the damaged area.
  • Overstitch its edges with elastic stitches.

• Now cut back the damaged material up to the seam on the wrong side.

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

Buttonholes

The Creative 7570 offers you the perfect button-hole for all types of material and garment.

Whether you are sewing jackets, trousers, blouses or elastic materials, 5 different buttonhole styles lend a professional finish to your self-created fashions.

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

Use buttonhole foot No. 5 for buttonhole sewing. Before starting to sew, always push the button-hole foot to the front up to the second red mark. This way, the buttonholes will be sewn to measure.

Set the needle thread tension at +3.

To ensure that every single buttonhole is exactly the right size, the Creative 7570 is equipped with the buttonhole guide No. 10 and sensor technology. Using this equipment you can sew perfect buttonholes even on the most difficult materials such as velvet, plush, heavy knit or woollen fabrics.

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 with Avalon stabilizer by Madeira or with backing paper.

- 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.

Black-and-white photo of a sewing machine needle stitching fabric, with no visible text or symbols.

Inserting the buttonhole guide:

1. Push the metal part of the buttonhole guide into the slot below the needle plate from the rear (between the two red arrows). The white plastic part is over the needle plate.
2. 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 sensor.

You can choose from the following buttonholes:

1. Standard buttonhole No. 40

(for blouses, shirts, dresses etc.)

a) fully automatic

b) semi-automatic

2. Stretch buttonhole No. 41

Adjusting the buttonhole seam length with the balance

On highly slippery fabrics it may happen that the stitch density of the left seam turns out differently to that of the right seam. In this case, the seam density can be adjusted using the balance.

The balance appears on the right in the display and can be set with the cursor keys "←" and "→". This procedure can, however, only be applied fot semi-automatic buttonholes and engaged button-hole guide No. 10.

• Sew the first seam and the first bartack.
• While sewing the second seam adapt the stitch density with the balance (in the plus-section) to the first seam.
• Press key"
• Then press the "esc" key.
• Now program the buttonhole at the required length.
• Confirm by pressing "o.k.".

Stretch buttonholes / Cross stitch buttonholes

Stretch buttonhole No. 41 and cross stitch button-hole No. 42 can

• be sewn fully automatically or
• by self-defining the length and stitch width of the buttonhole (see standard buttonhole).

The procedure for the self-definition of the second bartack is the same as for the standard buttonhole. Seam length and stitch density of the second buttonhole seam can be set with the balance.

Important: Before you start the buttonhole, pull buttonhole foot No. 5A to the front up to the second red mark!

Round buttonhole

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

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

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

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

• When the machine sews the first stitches of the rounding, pull down the gimp thread from the back ridge using an ordinary pin.
  Important: The sewing foot must 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 rounding 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.

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).

• Engage the felling foot in the sewing foot holder.
• Place the fabric reverse side to reverse side.
• Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply by about 1–1.5 cm (3/8 to 5/8 inch).
• 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 plies apart and feed the protruding hem into the felling foot. The hem is turned over by the foot and over-stitched along the edge. Pull the two fabric plies 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.

• Insert the appliqué foot into the sewing machine.
• Transfer your drafted pattern to the face side/ smooth side of the fusible backing fabric. 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.
• Place and iron the appliqué parts onto the base material.
• Then overstitch 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. This foot is particularly effective on terry-cloth.

• Mark out your desired pattern with chalk or the magic pen.
• Use a stabilizer for the material.
• Insert 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: 0.5-1

Stitch width: 1.5-2.5

Tension: 2-3

Pintuck foot

This classical sewing technique can be used perfectly well on many fabrics such as cottons and light woollens. With pintucks you can give a nostalgic touch to underwear and children's wear.

• Insert the pintuck foot.
• Swap the needle for 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 quite tight (at about 5) to make the seam more prominent.
• Sew one pintuck. When you sew the second one you can let the first one run parallel in one of the foot's grooves. This ensures that the spaces between the pintucks always remain the same.

Tip: If you wish to emphasize the pintuck effect, you can fit a "cording tongue" on the front edge of the needle plate. Its guide shifts the fabric upwards thus making the pintucks look even more voluminous.

Sewing with a gimp thread makes a similar optical effect, it makes the pintuck even broader. However, with a gimp thread you work without a cording tongue.

• 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 thread 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.

• Insert the 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.

• Insert 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 free of gather downwards through the foot cutout. The fabric plies 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 on the bottom fabric.
• 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 fur imitations. To obtain a perfect seam on shapecut parts, we recommend adding a wool thread under slight tension and overstitching it at the same time.

Ruffler

With the ruffler you can make closely or widely spaced pleats automatically while sewing. This is very useful for ruffles, frills, home textiles etc.

The ruffler 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 ruffler from your PFAFF dealer, you receive a full description with it.

7/9 hole foot

With this foot you can optain beautiful decorative effects with no problem at all.

Up to 9 threads or mercerized cotton are sewn over with various fancy stitches.

• Cut the threads to the desired lengths and thread it from above through the 9 holes. Then place the threads to the back under the sewing foot. Let the threads protrude by 4-5 cm at the back.
• Engage the sewing foot.
• Stitch over the 9 threads with the desired fancy stitch, e.g. Program 142 or 147.

Tip: Pearl thread or embroidery twist are best suited.

Braiding foot

This special foot is best suited to stitch over puffy thread (e.g. loosely spun wool) or a narrow tape.

• Thread your thread or tape from the front through the eyelet-type guide and pull it through the front hole backwards underneath the sewing foot.
• Insert the braiding foot.
• Select the desired fancy stitch, e.g. Program 17 and stitch over the thread or tape.

Quilt and patchwork foot

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 polyester padding and connected to the back layer of the quilt that usually consists of one uniform piece of material.

The quilt and patchwork foot is particularly suitable for joining your pieces of fabric. The clearance between needle and outer edge of the foot is 14 of an inch (6,3 mm) and between the needle and the inner edge of the foot 18 of an inch (3,1 mm).

• Engage the quilt and patchwork foot.
• Join the pieces of fabric using program 00. With a seam allowance of 14 of an inch guide the pieces along the outer edge; with a seam allowance of 18 of an inch guide the pieces along the inner edge of the foot.

Program: 00

Stitch length: 2,5

Tension: 3-5

In traditional quilting the three fabric layers are joined by hand with small stitches – this can be done quicker and more practical with the sewing machine.

• Use invisible sewing thread (perlon yarn). Place polyester thread that matches the color of the fabric on the bobbin.
• Set the needle thread tension at 9 and the bobbin thread tension rather loose. It is best to use a second bobbin case.
• When you now sew over the three fabric layers, you will only see the triple stitch of the bobbin thread, the intermediate stitch will be invisible so that the quilt looks as if hand-made.

Twin-needle cording foot

Using this foot you can sew cordings with a clearance of 5 or 11 mm. You can use the same foot to embroider fancy stitches of 6 or 9 mm depending on the cording width.

• Engage the twin-needle cording foot. The foot can be engaged in both directions so that the second cording can be sewn on either side.
• Replace the sewing needle by a twin needle (needle gauge 1.6 or 2 mm).
• Then thread two needle threads (see page ???).
• Set the needle thread tension rather taut (5 approx.) and sew a cording (also see page ??? with or without gimp thread).
• If you sew a second cording, you can let the cording that you have already sewn run in the guide groove which is protruding on one side of the foot for this end. This way you obtain the larger clearance where a fancy stitch can be sewn.
• Topstitch all cordings.
• Now replace the twin needle by a normal sewing needle.
• Embroider the desired fancy stitch onto the wider clearance, e.g. program 86. To this end let the cordings run inside the guides of the sewing foot.

Open appliqué foot

Appliqués are quickly made and always produce a beautiful effect. You can obtain an additional effect if you use program 12 in connection with the open appliqué foot. Your appliqué will look as if stitched by hand.

• Cut out the pieces of the motif without any seam allowance.
• 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.
• Engage the open appliqué foot.
• Select program 12 and guide the edge of the motif along the right-hand inner edge of the foot. This will make sure that the needle runs evenly along the edge of the motif, that the straight stitch is almost entirely sink-stitched and a hand-made effect is obtained.

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 foot holder with 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 during sewing.

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

• Disconnect the mains plug and the foot control from the machine.
• Remove the detachable workplate.
  The sewing lamp (bulb) is located inside the needle head of the sewing machine.

Removal

To make it easier to change the bulb, we recommend placing the sewing machine on the side 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!

Sewing faults and their removal

Cause:

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 the thread.

Removal:

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 good 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 152/153).

Let the machine feed the fabric.

Only guide the fabric lightly.

Push the bobbin case in fully when inserting it.

4. 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 the stitch

Check needle-thread and bobbin-thread tensions.

Use perfect threads only.

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 teeth rows.

Feed dog is lowered. Slide C (see page 37) is at right.

Remove needle plate, remove lint with brush.

Push slide C (see page 37) to the left.

6. Machine binds

Loose threads in the hook race

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

7. Machine does not sew the entered program

Switch off the machine and back on again after about 10 seconds. Enter desired program again.

Important notes:

Before changing the sewing feet or needles, you must switch off the master switch.

Do not start the threaded machine without fabric in it.

If you leave the machine, even for a short time, do not forget to switch off the master switch.

This is especially important when children are nearby.

General tips on embroidering

Embroidering does require some practise, 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 (±2).

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.

Sewing feet

The most suitable sewing feet for embroidery work are No. 2A and 8A.

Caution! Never engage the top feed when doing embroidery work as this could cause a displacement 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 (if necessary) adjust your pattern with the balance (see section Balance).

Stabilizing the fabric

Whether working on thick or thin materials, the result will be better if the fabric has been stabilized. Many materials tend to gather, 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.

Avalon is a transparent gelatine stabilizer which you apply onto the fabric and overstitch. After the embroidery work has been completed, this stabilizer can be effortlessly removed with a damp cloth. 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.

Joined borders

Here are some examples of how you can create borders of any width by combining various embroidery programs. Madeira 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.

Cross stitches

Cross stitch embroideries have always been an important subject within traditional, folkloristic embroidery techniques.

What used to be stitched by hand with a great deal of effort can now be sewn with the Creative 7570 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 embroidery foot No. 2 A. Its red guide-grooves are exactly adapted to the size of the cross stitches.
- Use only special embroidery threads for cross stitching, e.g. Madeira Rayon No. 30 + 40, Madeira Cotona or MEZ embroidery and darning thread.
- 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 with the hand. You can change the length and width of the cross stitches of your Creative 7570 in accordance with the size of the Aida squares.

Sewing pre-programmed cross stitch borders Embroidery programs No. 90-99 consist of small cross stitches and are especially suitable for border embroideries. They have been programmed into the machine with optimum stitch length and width, however you can change these settings if required.
Tip: Programs 91, 93, 94, 97 and 99 are symmetrical designs and are very suitable for sewing opposite one another.

Embroidering cross stitch motifs with programs 100-109

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 and end points of a cross stitch program will be indicated when pressing the "info" key in the help files. There, you will also find combination possibilities for each cross stitch program.

Tip: 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 a free M-memory.
• To sew the pattern, recall the programmed memories successively by pressing the key "◀".
• When you start sewing the needle always stitches in the middle of the sewing foot. The marked starting point on the template corresponds to the sewing start.

• After you have finished sewing the first memory, pull the threads to the wrong 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 2 A. 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 spacings between adjoining pattern sequences.
• Sew the individual memories one after the other. Then iron the embroidered motif on the reverse side of the fabric.

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. 129.

Pattern length: 35 mm

Stitch width: 6 mm

- Using program No. 165, embroider 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. 132.

Stitch width: 6 mm

Pattern length: 6 mm

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

Stitch width: 4 mm

Stitch length: 0.35 mm

Hemstitching

Everyone knows this technique – but only done by hand. With the Creative 7570, you can produce hemstitching much quicker and easier.

10 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 either a slitting needle or a wing needle. Only for very fine fabrics a normal sewing needle, size 80, is 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 to produce different techniques.

Hemstitching patterns

• Programs No. 110, 113, 118 and 119.

For these programs use wing needle 130/705 H

Wing, size 100, without pulling threads.

Program No. 119 can also be stitched as curved edging and hem strengthener.

"Ladder" hemstitching

• Programs No. 111, 112, 114 and 117.
- Pull the threads at the desired width out of the fabric, the same as when hemstitching by hand.
- Embroider along both fabric edges with the respective programs. When doing this, the needle must enter at the side of the edges into the pulled threads thus bunching the threads.

Tip: Use the "slow sewing" function so that the needle stitches evenly and bunches the threads neatly.

Making a hem with a hemstitch seam

This seam provides a perfect edge finish to hem-stitching work on table cloths, napkins or towels.

• Needle 130/705 H, size 80.
  ● Programs No. 112, 114 and 117.
• Iron the hem over twice in the desired width.
• Pull one or more of the threads just above the hem.
• Using one of the above mentioned programs, sew along the pulled threads. When doing this, the needle must enter the right side of the hem and bunch the pulled threads to the left.

Traditional hemstitching

● Programs No. 111, 116.
- Sew the selected program onto a piece of waste fabric as a single pattern.
- Count the threads on the inside of the pattern to determine the pattern width.
- Pull 1-3 threads from the fabric to the right and left of the pattern width.
- Overstitch the remaining threads with the selected program. When you do this, the needle must enter the pulled threads on both sides close to the edges.

Eyelet embroidery

Eyelet embroidery refines your linens and can be produced very easily with your Creative. With the help of the eyelet plate and several utility and fancy stitches you can produce beautiful eyelet embroideries.

● Lower the feed dog.
- Installing the eyelet plate: Place the eyelet plate onto the needle plate making sure that the rear pin fits into the middle cutout of the needle plate. Then push the eyelet plate down at the front.
- Place the marked fabric taut 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.

• Remove the sewing foot.
• Place the sewing foot lifter in darning position.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold it for the first few stitches.
• Stitch around the cut with zigzag stitch No. 32. While doing so, turn the hoop with the fabric evenly and clockwise. The stitches must be very close to each other.
• Then secure with a few straight stitches.

And this 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 cutout of the needle plate. Then push the eyelet plate down at the front.
• Place the marked fabric taut 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 sewing foot lifter in darning position.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold it for the first few stitches.
• Stitch around the cut with the selected program. While doing so, turn the hoop with the fabric slowly and evenly. The stitches must be very close to each other.
• Then secure with a few straight stitches.

Richelieu

Even 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 the disappearing-ink pen.
- Then place two plies of AVALON stabilizer under the area to be embroidered and tauten 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).

Tip: It is even easier with function "needle down".

• 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 backing material!
• 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 AVALON stabilizer in cold water and your piece of unique embroidery is ready.

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 polyester padding 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 layered 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 outer edge of the foot is 14 of an inch, e.g. 6.35 mm, and 18 of an inch to the inner edge.

Moreover, your Creative 7570 provides quilt stitch 03. Using this stitch you can do your quilting quickly and easily, however it will look as if made by hand! Use invisible sewing thread (perlon) as needle thread and polyester thread in a matching color for the bobbin.

Set the needle thread tension very taut for your quilt, e.g. 8–9, and select a rather loose bobbin thread tension. When you now stitch on the three layers of the quilt, you will only see the triple stitch of the polyester thread; the intermediate stitch will disappear thus producing the hand-made look (see page ??).

And this is how it is done:

• Cut out the parts of your quilt with templates you have made or bought. A seam allowance of 6.35 mm should already be included in the templates.

• Spread out the parts 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 but ironed towards the darker side of the fabric.

• Tack your finished surface of the quilt onto the layer of polyester padding 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, e.g. with program No. 03. This program sews approx. 3 mm next to the seam.

When your quilt is finished, you can make it into a cushion, a wall hanging or a bedspread.

Embroidery stitches or free-hand machine quilting are particularly suitable for uni-colored materials. In free-hand machine quilting the fabric is guided by hand under the needle. Select program 00 and insert darning foot No. 6. The feed dog must be lowered. Using stencils you can mark the outlines of your motif beforehand.

Twin-needle embroidery

You can achieve beautiful effects when embroidering with the twin needle. Embroideries turn out best with a stitch width of 1.6 - 3 mm. Stretch seams are sewn up to 6 mm wide. Embroideries are particularly effective if two embroidery threads of the same color are chosen.

If you wish to sew embroidery programs with the twin needle, press the "twin needle" key (2). The stitch width is thus 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 bobbin holder up and place one bobbin on each of the bobbin 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), of to the left and one to the right, and thread the needles.

Pattern stencils

The pattern and monogram stencils help you to place and combine patterns on the fabric precisely. Doing this, please take into consideration that the drawn pattern size does not always exactly correspond to the actually embroidered size. A pattern sewn on cotton will be fed differently by the machine than on velvet or woollen materials and will always turn out slightly different. And this is how the stencil should be used: The pattern start of the respective motif or monogram is marked on the stencil with a punched hole. Place the stencil on the fabric and mark the pattern start (fig. 1) with a disappearing-ink pen. Embroider the selected program. If you wish to add a second motif or monogram, you can now determine the opimum position using the stencils. Mark the starting point again and stitch the next pattern.

L

Monograms

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

Free-hand guiding does, however, require a little practise.

Here is how it is done:

• Draw the initials onto the fabric with a disappearing-ink marker.
• Drop the feed dog and insert the darning foot (see page 37).
• Place Avalon under the fabric.
• Spread the fabric in an embroidery hoop and embroider in accordance with program 02. Do not forget the darning position.
• Knot the threads and remove the Avalon. (Any remaining pieces dissolve in water.)

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 broader 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 which means that the free sewing is no longer necessary, you can simply sew along the lines with program 02.

• Iron the fabric or use a paper underlay.
• Draw the monogram onto the fabric.
• Sew along the lines you have sketched with program 02.

Messages in the display

Then select the pattern on the machine with the corresponding number key. The embroidery frame normalizes, i.e. it searches for the starting position. At the same time the following messages appear in the display:

• Fit fabric in frame "120" (or "80") and insert
• Lower feed dog
• Insert full bobbin
• Attach embroidery foot and bring sewing foot lifter to embroidery position.

ok?

Fit fabric in frame "120" (or "80") and insert

This message appears on a dark background which illustrates the importance of this line. Either a 120 or an 80 frame must be fitted with material and inserted.

Lower feed dog

The feed dog must be lowered to be able to embroider with the embroidery unit. If this is not the case the machine does not start when the foot pedal is pushed and the following message appears:

Lower feed dog ok?

Insert full bobbin

It is recommended to insert a full bobbin before starting to embroider. We recommend using cotton garn with thickness 50 as the bobbin thread or a polyester yarn 100. The bobbin thread monitor display blinks when the bobbin thread is running out. The sewing machine stops and the following message is displayed:

Bobbin thread low ok?

Attach embroidery foot and bring sewing foot lifter to embroidery position

Before beginning to embroider, the embroidery foot must be attached (see Instruction manual 7570 page 110) and the sewing foot lifter must be in embroidering position. If this is not the case the machine stops when the foot pedal is pressed and elicits the message:

Sewing foot holder not in embroidery position ok?

Now lower the feed dog and insert a full bobbin. Attach the embroidery foot and set the sewing foot holder to the correct position (see 7570 Instructions page 110).

Important: The Integrated Dual Feed (top feed) must be switched off.

By pressing the "ok" key, the selected pattern is shown in the display. The embroidery frame goes to the pattern start.

If you wish to embroider another pattern, return to the selection menu with the "esc" key and select a new pattern.

Fitting the fabric into the embroidery frame

There are two different frames included with the embroidery unit. The smaller one is the 80 and the larger one is the 120 frame.

The 80 frame is for patterns sized up to 8 x 8 cm. The 120 frame is for patterns up to 11.5 x 12 cm.

80 frame: For smaller fabric parts which do not fit into the 120 frame. For very fine or stretch materials which must be fitted tightly so that they have no slack (e.g. fine knitted fabrics, silk etc.)

120 frame: For fabric parts which offer enough area for fitting. For all larger patterns which require the embroidery field.

The machine displays the frame size automatically for each selected pattern.

Now fit the material into the frame as described below.

To achieve an improved embroidery result we recommend placing embroidery fleece underneath the fabric and fitting it with the fabric as a support.

With the keys underneath these symbols the size of the pattern can be altered by a number of different amounts.

With the number key 5 the pattern is enlarged, number key 4 reduces the size of the pattern.

120 This symbol shows the position and size of the pattern in the embroidery field. The spot in the dark field shows the middle of the pattern. Furthermore you can see if a 120 frame or an 80 frame is required.

Key 7 underneath this symbol allows the pattern to be rotated in 90° steps within the frame (90, 180, 270 or 360°). The rotation of the pattern is displayed visually in the display.

Furthermore the patterns can be mirrored with the pattern mirroring key (17). This alteration is also represented in the display.

Pushing key 8 underneath this symbol once, allows the pattern to be embroidered with one colour (mono). "mono" appears in the display. By pressing this key repeatedly you can see the individual segments of the pattern which are embroidered with various colours. At the same time the number of the colour also appears; e.g. col 1, col 2, col 3 ...

It is also possible to embroider these segments individually (see page 28).

Pressing key 9 underneath this symbol allows you to skip back 6 stitches, e.g. in the case of a thread breakage. After pressing this key the following message appears:

"Activate foot pedal, pattern skips back 6 stitches"

Press the foot pedal briefly. The machine skips back 6 stitches.

You can continue embroidering the pattern from this position.

Pressing key 0 underneath this symbol allows you to skip forwards one or more stitches. This is necessary when the starting position has been overshot when returning to the pattern start.

With the cursor keys (8) the pattern in the embroidery field can be moved to the right or the left. The grey field on the right of the display shows you the new position. To the left of this the change is displayed in 1mm steps. This is very helpful for placing the pattern on a desired point on the material.

The placing/movement within the embroidery frame always refers to the middle of the motif. The machines skips automatically to the pattern start when starting sewing.

Remember the change in position so that you can always find the position again when repeating the pattern: e.g. when decorating a number of napkins.

With keys 8 and 9 the pattern can be visibly moved up and down within the embroidery field.

Here too, the individual steps are represented numerically.

This symbol only appears on patterns for which an 80 frame is required. If, however, you wish to use a 120 frame instead you can switch to the larger frame by pressing number key 0. The embroidery frame repositions itself.

When you press key 7 underneath this symbol, the embroidery frame traces around the size and position of the pattern within the embroidery field. This is to check if the embroidery pattern is to be embroidered in the correct position.

To return to the previous symbols (from page 20) press the "esc" key.

Embroidery/single colour

Tension: When embroidering we recommend tightening the bobbin thread tension a little so that the bobbin thread is not visible on the top of the material. The needle thread tension should be set between 2 and 3.

To embroider the selected pattern in one colour only, press key 8 until the word "mono" appears in the display. The pattern can now be embroidered. Take care to check that all patterns are embroidered the way they look in the display. Press the foot pedal a little, the machine sews a few stitches. This allows you to closely observe the beginning of the pattern.

If you release the foot control the machine stops and you can cut off the starting threads. Then reactivate the foot pedal and press the "ok" key while embroidering (after a few stitches). The foot pedal can now be released. The machine continues embroidering alone.

When the pattern is finished the machine stops and the message "Finished" appears in the display.

If you wish to select a new motif from the card simply press the "esc" key and select the number key of the desired pattern.

Attention:

If something unusual happens press any key and the machine will stop immediately.

If you press the foot pedal briefly and then release it the machine will also stop.

In the pattern list you will find the pattern with various colour suggestions which you can of course change to suit your ideas.

Make sure you have the required threads prepared in the order listed.

Select the symbol "col 1...3" with key 8, thread the first thread and begin to embroider. The machine embroiders the first colour segment and stops with the message:

Thread-change colour 2

Change the needle thread and restart the machine by pressing the foot pedal again. After beginning sewing press the "ok" key then you can release the foot control. The machine continues embroidering until the next thread change. The following message appears:

Thread-change colour 3

Repeat the above procedure until all thread changes are completed. The machine finishes embroidering the last colour, displays "Finished" and goes to the middle of the pattern.

Multicoloured embroidery with repeating colours

If a pattern has several colours which repeat themselves in the pattern, follow the following procedure: Select pattern No. 13 for example.

In the display you will see "col 1...4" for multi-coloured embroidery. In the pattern list you will see the order of the colours. Organize the colours in accordance with the order and begin with the first colour as described on page 26. After the first colour the machine stops and displays the message:

Thread-change colour 2

After the second colour change you will see the message:

Thread-change colour 3

etc. If a colour is to be repeated, e.g. colour 2, you will see in the display:

Thread-change colour 2

Thread the first colour again. The machine embroiders this segment. Then you will see the message:

Thread-change colour 4

Thread the fourth colour and embroider this segment. When all segments are embroidered the machine stops and elicits the following message:

"Finished".

Embroidering individual segments

It is also possible to embroider individual segments of a pattern. For example, if you wish to embroider only the blossom of pattern 7, select this segment with key 8, e.g. col 2 and embroider it.

After finishing the segment you will see the message "Finished" in the display.

If you wish to return to the beginning of this segment after finishing the embroidery, press the pattern start key (13) or key 8. In the display you will see the following message:

Return to beginning of this colour! ok?

By pressing the "ok" key the frame moves to the beginning of the segment.

You can continue sewing if you think that the bobbin thread is sufficient for the rest of the section, however the bobbin thread supply display continues to blink. The display remains lit until a full bobbin has been inserted and you continue to sew.

- Sewing foot lifter

The sewing foot lifter must be brought to embroidery position before beginning to embroider. If it is not, the machine will not sew when you press the foot pedal and the message appears:

Bring sewing foot lifter to embroidering/darning position ok?

- Lower feed dog

If the feed dog is not lowered for embroidering, the machine does not embroider when the foot pedal is pressed and the message appears:

Lower feed dog ok?

The feed dog must be lowered in embroidery mode.

Sewing with the embroidery unit

You have the option of changing from the embroidery program to the sewing program without removing the embroidery unit or having to remove the card from the slot. The embroidery frame, however, must be removed.

Turn the feed dog back on and attach the appropriate sewing foot. Then press the "menu" key (22), the embroidery unit moves to its position on the right so that as much room as possible is left for sewing. This is however, only recommended for shorter sewing periods. When sewing longer periods or larger pieces of fabric it is better to remove the embroidery unit.

Richelieu work

The Creative Card No. "7" is an appliqué and Richelieu card.

The appliqué motifs are marked with an A in the motif list.

If you wish to embroider a Richelieu motif these patterns can also be embroidered without Richelieu effect, i.e. the fabric pieces are not cut out of the spaces.

Select a Richelieu pattern, e.g. pattern No. 6 and embroider it in one or more colours onto your fabric. After embroidering, the segments which are surrounded by the zigzag stitch can be cut out if desired.

Appliqué with the embroidery motifs

It is also possible to embroider appliqué with this card. Including a piece of coloured material lends profile to the pattern. Beautiful coloured effects can be achieved.

Floral motifs can be particularly attractive if you use cellular fabrics or fine organza.

Select pattern No. 1 from this card for example. Embroider the pattern. After the first segment the machine stops and the message "Insert appliqué" appears in the display accompanied by "Change thread colour 3" when embroidering in more than one colour. Cut the needle thread and lay the appliqué fabric onto the sewn pattern. You can pin the outer edges of the fabric down if you wish.

Important:

Do not remove the fabric from the frame. Re-thread the needle thread and continue to sew the pattern. Once the appliqué is sewn on, the machine stops again and elicits the message "Cut out appliqué". To do so you can remove the frame from the embroidery unit but not the fabric from the frame. Now cut the fabric carefully along the sewn line.

Re-insert the frame into the embroidery unit. Press the foot pedal and finish embroidering the pattern. Any fabric pieces protruding from the appliqué can be cut off subsequently.

Embroidering thin fabrics

If you wish to embroider on very fine and thin materials such as chiffon, organza or silk, we recommend reinforcing the material with a textile hardener from PFAFF:

The fabric must be hardened because you cannot back the material with an embroidery fleece (this would show through the thin fabric). Therefore, repeat the procedure until the fabric is strong enough.

Then fit the fabric tightly into the frame. If you think that the fabric is still too slack, fit Avalon in the frame also. The Avalon dissolves in water (available from your Pfaff dealer). Now you can select your desired pattern and embroider.

Embroidering frotté

You can even embroider on fine loop fabrics such as frotté or velvet with the Creative. Both the maxi stitches and the embroidery motifs of the embroidery unit can be used for this purpose. However, we recommend using embroidery fleece and Avalon (available from your Pfaff dealer).

Embroidering with maxi stitches:

For a border with the maxi patterns of the machine or from cards A and B we recommend the following:

• Lay embroidery fleece underneath the fabric and pin it to the fabric.
• Lay Avalon on top of the fabric and pin it to the fabric also. The Avalon covers the loops of the frotté or velvet so the sewing foot glides over the fabric more easily ensuring a good neat embroidery.
• When you have finished embroidering, remove the Avalon carefully. The embroidery fleece underneath the fabric can be torn off. The rest of the Avalon will dissolve in water.

If the frotté is too thick to fit into the frame, fit a piece of embroidery fleece into the frame and stick the frotté fabric onto it with a glue pen.

Embroidering with the embroidery unit

If you wish to embroider motifs on frotté or velvet with the embroidery unit, we recommend using embroidery fleece and Avalon.

Lay the Avalon on top of and the embroidery fleece underneath the frotté fabric and fit the three layers into the frame.

Now the Avalon can be pinned onto the frotté fabric. Take care, however, that the pins are close to the edge of the frame so that the machine doesn't embroider over them.
When you have finished embroidering, remove the frotté fabric from the embroidery fleece and pull the Avalon out.

Embroidering small pieces of fabric

If you want to embroider on a small piece of fabric, for example a pocket or the corner of a napkin but you cannot fit all the fabric into the frame, we recommend tacking the piece of fabric onto embroidery fleece with large stitches. Now you can fit the part into the frame and embroider it. Remove the embroidery fleece when you have finished embroidering.

Combining motifs to form a border

Many motifs can be used to make a border. Cut a long strip of fabric. Draw a line down the middle of the fabric with disappearing chalk or disappearing magic marker.

Lay embroidery fleece under the fabric and fit both plies into the frame. Take care to ensure that the line you have drawn runs parallel to the embroidery frame.

Select a pattern, e.g. pattern 16 from card 1 and rotate the pattern 90^ . It is now displayed lengthwise. Embroider the pattern onto the fabric. If you wish to change the position of the fabric within the frame, you can do so before beginning to embroider with the symbols (see page 23). Embroider the pattern.

Remove the fabric from the frame and measure the length of the pattern. Halve this length. This shows you where the middle of the pattern is. Now mark the middle of the fabric with a dot. This is very important because the placing and moving of a pattern in the embroidery frame is always based around the middle of the pattern. When you begin to sew the machine skips back to the pattern start automatically.

Now fit the fabric into the frame again so that the line is parallel to the frame. Now position the needle exactly over the marking in the middle of the fabric using the ▲▼◀ symbols. Using key 7 ☐, ensure that the pattern borders on the previously em broidered pattern.

Now embroider the second pattern. All further patterns are to be embroidered using the same procedure.

Combining patterns to form a large motif

In this example the pattern has been embroidered four times.

Mark a large cross on the fabric. Select pattern No. 12 from card 2 and fit the fabric and the embroidery fleece into the frame so that the lines are parallel to the embroidery frame. The cross should be on the upper edge of the frame. Select "mono" and rotate the pattern 270°.

The length and width of the pattern is shown in the display. Halve the pattern length to find the middle of the pattern and mark it.

Position the needle over the marking in the middle of the pattern using the ▲▼◀ keys. The pattern can now be embroidered. When starting to embroider, the frame returns automatically to the beginning of the pattern.

Remove the fabric from the frame and fit it again. Mark the middle of the pattern on the fabric and position the needle above the marking with keys ▲▼◀. Using the pattern start key you can return to the beginning of the pattern. This allows you to check if the second pattern borders on the first. Now embroider the second pattern.

Remove the fabric from the frame again and place the pattern between the two embroidered motifs. For the fourth pattern proceed as for the previous pattern.

Tip:

Between embroidery procedures always tighten the needle screw and the sewing foot retaining screw a little.

Embroidering a word sequence

Always use the larger frame when embroidering words. this allows you to embroider at least three letters (depending on letter size).

You can embroider in two ways:

1. Connecting individual letters
2. Programming word segments into the M-memory and then embroidering them (see pattern combinations instructions for use 7570 page 56 + 57)

Always embroider the desired word onto a piece of waste material first. Measure the length and size of the word. Then mark the area required for the word on the fabric, e.g. with disappearing chalk.

The disappearing chalk can be removed from the fabric after embroidering by ironing it.

You can also mark with a marker thread.

Now fit the fabric into the frame with a ply of embroidery fleece.

Take care to ensure that the marking is parallel to the embroidery frame.

Before beginning to embroider you can go through the embroidery pattern with the ☐ key (see instruction manual page 23) and correct the position of the word or letter if necessary.

When combining word sections always ensure that the position, height and distance to the previous word segment is the same.

Now you can embroider the desired word onto your fabric without any problems.

Maxi pattern combinations from a card

With the maxi patterns on the maxi design cards available you can embroider combined borders easily.

Example: The cross stitch motif above can be embroidered very attractively by mirroring it once in the lengthwise axis (lengthwise mirroring 19) and once in the lateral axis (pattern mirror 17). This gives you numerous variations.

Many maxi motifs can be combined in this way.

Tip:

On coarse fabrics use Avalon. This facilitates the fabric feed and the maxi patterns can be embroidered more evenly and more beautifully.

Attach the piece of leather which is to be embroidered onto embroidery fleece with a glue pen or textile adhesive.

Now fit the fabric with the embroidery fleece into the embroidery frame and click it into the embroidery unit.

If the leather is too thick to be fitted into the frame, only fit the fleece into the embroidery frame and lay the extra leather over the embroidery unit so that it

does not hinder the feed of the frame control when embroidering. Using Filmoplast is another possibility (see picture above). This is a fleece which is adhesive on the top. This means that the parts to be embroidered do not have to be stuck into the embroidery frame. Instead they are stuck to the fleece. The Filmoplast is much easier to use than sticking with ordinary fleece.

Take care to ensure that the leather is stuck down flat. On very thick and very stiff fabrics it is recommended to press the slow sewing key (3) before starting to sew and, where possible, to enlarge the embroidery motif to avoid the needle breaking and extra perforation holes being made in the leather.

Tip: From time to time the sewing foot and needle retaining screws should be tightened as on thick materials the sewing foot and the needle can more easily become loose.

Sticking on embroidered motifs

On material pieces which you would like to embroider but which cannot be fitted into the embroidery frame, you can embroider the motif and then stick it onto the material. Proceed as follows:

Fit a layer of embroidery fleece and a layer of thermogauze (thermogauze on top) into the embroidery frame. Click the frame into place. Filled, closed patterns such as the teddy bear are particularly suitable. Embroider the pattern. Then remove the excess embroidery fleece.

Iron the embroidered piece until the thermogauze becomes fragile and can easily be removed. Then you can stick the embroidered piece onto the desired object with textile adhesive or with iron-on stabilizer, whereas the iron-on stabilizer gives a superior result.

Thermogauze will be available from approx. January 1996.

Proceed as follows:

Place the iron-on stabilizer onto the reverse side of the embroidered fabric with the paper side facing upwards. Iron the two pieces of material together.

Then remove the paper, lay the embroidered motif onto the object which is to carry the motif and iron this also.
