Frequently Asked Questions - tipmatic 1047 PFAFF

How to thread the needle on the Pfaff tipmatic 1047?

Turn the main switch to 'Off' and raise the needle to its highest position. Pass the thread through the guides following the arrows, bring it up through the take-up lever, then use the built-in threader (button B) to thread the needle eye. Lay the thread behind the hook and lower the threader.

How to adjust the needle thread tension?

Use the needle thread tension button (mark 122). The normal position is in the white range between 3 and 5. A higher number increases tension. Check by sewing a zigzag stitch: the threads should lock in the thickness of the fabric.

What to do if the needle breaks?

Possible causes are: needle incorrectly inserted, bent, too fine or too thick for the fabric, or excessive pulling on the fabric. Insert a new 130/705 H needle fully, check the needle chart, and do not force the fabric.

How to make an automatic buttonhole?

Press button C, set tension to 3, attach the buttonhole foot. Set the stitch density. Place the guide at the desired length. Sew the first side, press B for the tacking stitches, then A for the second side. Finish with tie-off stitches.

How to clean the machine?

Unplug the machine. Remove the needle plate by lifting it at the back. Use a brush to remove lint from the feed dogs and hook area. Do not oil the machine, except occasionally one drop in the hook race.

How to change the bulb?

Unplug the machine. Close the cover and straighten the handle. Insert an edge guide into the slot between the cover and the housing. Lower the bulb body, turn it in the N direction to remove. Insert a new 15 W max bulb, align the pins with the slots, then turn towards O.

Why does the machine not feed the fabric?

Lint may block the feed dogs. Remove the needle plate and clean. Also check that the feed dogs are not lowered (lower feed dog button on the left). If the problem persists, check the stitch length setting.

How to sew stretch stitches?

Choose a button with a red symbol (e.g., triple zigzag). Press the button and set the stitch length button to the 'stretch' (red) position. To halve the width, also press button G.

What types of needles to use for different fabrics?

Refer to the needle chart in the manual. For example: needle 130/705 H (fine ballpoint) for light synthetics; 130/705 H-SUK (medium ballpoint) for knits; 130/705 H-J (sharp round point) for denim; 130/705 H-LR (cutting point right) for leather.

How to wind the bobbin?

Place the bobbin on the winder, aligning the pin with the slot. Disengage the mechanism by turning the disc forward. Pass the thread through the guides, wind a few turns around the bobbin, push it to the right and press the pedal. When full, push it to the left and cut the thread.

Checking the needle thread tension:

The normal setting is in the white range between 3 and 5. The higher the

number, the tighter the tension. To

check the tension, set the machine at the zigzag stitch.

Sew a short seam. The threads should interlock in the middle of the material.

Thread tensions:

Raise presser bar lifter 112. Remove the fabric by pulling it toward the back.

Thread cutter N. Draw the threads into the slot and pull them downwards.

Regulating the stitch length

The numbers on stitch length control 106 indicate the stitch length in millimeters. The stitch length range is 0 to 6 mm. Turn the desired stitch length to the indicating mark "N".

Fig. O (bottom) shows how to set the stitch length control for sewing stretch stitches (red stitch symbols on push buttons).

Press button 114. As long as you hold this button the machine sews backwards.

Finger-tip controls:

The various models have differing numbers of finger-tip controls and programs.

Blindstitching (Q): turn screw R to set guide at the left. The guide is then adjusted according to the needle penetrations. The folded edge of the material runs along guide edge S.

Edge guide (N):

Darning foot:

Position the needle up. Push bar P to the back and hold it there. Fit the pin of the foot in hole N; at the same time, fork R engages the presser bar, and push the foot fully in. Let go of bar P, which then rests on retaining screw Q. Tighten screw O.

Darning foot:

Zipper foot:

Push the rear stud into slot N. Then push the foot up until it snaps in place in slot O.

The zipper foot can be moved to the left (Fig. P) or right (Fig. Q), as required.

Push button C. Set the needle thread tension at range 3 for buttonhole sewing. Attach the buttonhole foot. Set the stitch density at range N. Insert a gimp thread in the sewing foot as shown in the illustration: Place the thread over the back ridge, and pull it taut so that it is hold in tab P at the front. During sewing, arrow Q runs along scale R. This is how the buttonhole length is determined. For sewing buttonholes use light sewing thread.

Buttonhole sewing:

Pull the bottom of the buttonhole foot forward as far as it will go.

1 Sew first buttonhole seam. Raise the needle. 2 Push button B in until 4 to 6 bartacking stitches are sewn, holding the workpiece firmly, then release the button. 3 Push button A. Sew the second buttonhole seam the same length as the first. 4 Push button B in until 4 to 6 bartacking stitches are sewn, holding the material firmly, then release the button. 5 Sew a few tying stitches. Remove the fabric, pull the filler cord taut and trim. 6 Cut the buttonhole open.

Before sewing buttonholes in the garment, it is recommended to sew a buttonhole as a test.

Changing the needle (System 130/705 H): Switch off master switch 104. Loosen screw N. Take out the needle. Push the needle up as far as it will go (with its flat side facing toward the back). Tighten the screw.

Dropping the feed dog:

Open free arm cover 119. Push the drop-feed control toward D (feed dog dropped) or toward O (sewing position).

Cleaning and oiling:

Pull out the mains plug. Tilt the needle plate up at the back (N) and take it out (O). Clean the feed dog and the parts in the sewing hook area with a soft brush. Do not oil the machine. Only apply a drop of oil in the hook raceway (see ill.) occasionally.

Changing the light bulb:

Pull out the mains plug. Close the hinged top cover and swing up the carrying handle. Insert the edge guide into cutout O, push down the lamp housing and hold it there. Turn the light bulb toward N and take it out. Insert the new bulb so that its pins slide in slots P. Push it up and turn it toward O. Pull out the edge guide.

Using the adequate needle guarantees a better working up of the material.
