Important!
The following is essential for obtaining
good sewing results:
1. The needle must be in order.
2. The needle- and bobbin thread
tensions must be right.
The bobbin thread tension has been
correctly set at the works. If after
checking of the bobbin thread tension
(see p. 8) a correction is necessary,
the adjusting screw must only be
turned minimally.
Checking the needle thread tension:
Normal setting is between 3 and 5. The
higher the number, the tighter the ten
sion. To check the tension, set a wide
zigzag stitch.
Sew a short seam. The threads must
interlock in the middle of the material.
Setting 3 is for sewing buttonholes.

Needle: twin needle, 1.6 mm gauge
Very attractive fancy patterns can be sewn wi h
the twin needle. The illustrations show some )f
the dainty patterns that can be produced with a
little imagination.
If during pattern selection the crossed out twi
needle symbol lights up, the stitch width has to Le
reduced. After the symbol has disappeared, tf e
pattern can be sewn with the twin needle.
For sewing, use two reels of thread of differe’t
colours. Place one reel on each reel pin ard
secure it in position with the correspondiflg
unreeling disc. Place one thread to the right ard
the other to the left of disc “C”. Continue threa I
ing in the usual way, threading each needle sepa
rately. See page 56.

Thread: embroidering/darning thread
Clear-lined block letters or monograms made by
combining different ornamental patterns can be
sewn without any difficulty. Trace the monogram
on paper first, then transfer it to the fabric. Having
done so, follow the outlines with the programmed
stitch pattern chosen.
To sew monograms on terry cloth, pin the paper
pattern onto the fabric and sew along the traced
outlines with a narrow zigzag stitch. Then sew
over the contours of the monogram with the pro
grammed stitch pattern chosen.

Sewing with straight,
utility and stretch
stitches
Tips for embroidering and
sewing with the
PFAFF creative 1467
• Before you begin, first sew a test seam on a
scrap piece of the same material.
• Check stitch pattern and tension.
• Secure the beginning and end of the seam by
pressing the “tie-off/button-hole” key.
• When sewing light, soft and stretch materials
hold the thread ends at the beginning of
sewing (Fig. 1).
• With cross seams, such as lap-felled seams, we
recommend cutting out the fold and pressing
the seam. This will provide a flatter cross seam.
• In the case of problem materials, you can
achieve better sewing results with the left
needle position.
• Exact stitching of edges is facilitated by the
marking guide lines on the needle plate or by
an edge guide (Fig. 2).
• If you have to interrupt work during sewing,
e.g. with long fabric panels or upon change of
sewing direction, select needle position
“down”.
• Thread the needle with the needle threader.
2
J
3
Top-stitching collar points
• Insert a thread into each collar point before
beginning to sew and leave approximately
10cm of thread hanging. When stitching the
corner, you pull on the threads of the respec
five corner for the first stitches in sewing direc
tion. The material feed is supported in this way
and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner
(Fig. 3).
• For top-stitching edges, especially in the case
of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and
a straight-stitch sewing foot with round needle
hole can produce good sewing results (special
accessories).
• Sewing aid for thick seams
In orderto ensure uniform feeding at the begin
ning of the seam, we recommend supporting
the sewing foot with a piece of material of the
same thickness (Fig, 4).

Dua’ feed
Pfaff offer the only household sewing machine
the world with built in dual feed. Bythis means,
material is not only fed from below, but also fr
above simultaneously. During processing of 10
fabric panels, such as curtains and side curtah
etc., there is no shifting of the material plies.
Also during assembly of checked or striped fab
panels the material is fed exactly by the dual fe
Especially during processing of delicatee ma
rials, no seam pucker results. In the case of p
stics, oilcloth, imitation suede, etc. (i.e. in the ca

equally great help. It provides for excellent fee
ing of your workpiece, and consistent seams. T
dual feed can be combined with several sewh

Sewing tips for
different materia’s
Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and

Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium
stitch length.
Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice
and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of
2.5 to 3 mm.
Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a
piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron.
Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics.

Synthetic materials: do not baste such materials
as plastic, foil or oilcloth (penetration holes!). Use
long stitch lengths (4 to 6 mm) and the dual feed.
Pure silk: set needle thread tension a little lower.
Needle must be in perfect condition (otherwise
fibres are pulled). Use stitch lengths between 2

Knitted or crocheted materials: sew with light
needle thread tension and elastic seams.
Machine-embroidery silk: to obtain effective

In order to obtain consistent gather with straight
stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring
threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring
on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam
straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the
fabric taut a little with your hands, because with
long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1).
After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang
ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at
about sewing-foot width.
Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them.
By this means you determine the amount of
gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in
order to ensure they do not break during gather

:
Sewing thread: Embroidery and darning thread
Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double
material. In spite of this, a piece of paper should
be placed underneath during sewing. First mark
the spacings and the distance from the edge. The
points thus obtained always mark the beginning
of sewing. Pull the runner of the buttonhole foot
fully to the front before beginning the buttonhole.
Sew the first lengthwise seam at the required
length (Fig. 1 a). Press key 1 16 “tie-off/button
hole. After that the Pfaff Creative sews the first
bar and the reverse seam (Fig. 1 b). Shortly before
the end of the reverse seam the machine automa
tically slows down, thus calling attention to the
final bartack that is to be sewn now. Press key 116
(Fig. 1) again one zigzag stitch before the reverse
seam has the same length as the first buttonhole
seam, then sew the second bartack. The machine
automatically secures the buttonhole at the end
and then stops (Fig. ic). The buttonhole is now
stored. Without actuating further keys, the follow
ing buttonholes can now be sewn automatically.
If you wish to determine the 2nd bar for a pro
grammed buttonhole, press key 116. The display
will then show a full stop at the left of program 13.
Shortly before the end of the reverse, seam the
machine automatically slows down. As soon as
both seams have the same length, press key 116
again. The machine now sews the 2nd bar and
secures the buttonhole.
I fl’.
For sewing the following buttonholes it will f
good to lift the fabric a little in order not to affet
feeding of the fabric, The sewing speed mu:
remain constant.
• f a buttonhde was not programmed correcti
it can be cancefled by selecting another prc

Balancing the density of
buttonhole seams
With key 124 the left buttonhole seam can be
adapted to the right one. First make a sample but
tonhole
• Sew the first buttonhole seam in the length
required and
• the first bartack.
• Set balance key 124 toward + or and adjust
the second buttonhole seam to the first one
(Fig. 3).
• Sew last bartack.
• This change will be maintained for the follow
ing buttonholes.
—
Adaption of buttonhole length
A garment may consist of different numbers of
fabric plies, e. g. the buttonhole strip may consist
of three plies and the collar stand of six owing to
the folded seam edge. In this case it is necessary
to program the computer for varying numbers of
fabric plies in order to maintain the same button
hole length as on the 3-ply buttonhole strip.
—
Changing the buttonhole width
For every fabric type, the corresponding button
hole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For
heavy materials select a wide buttonhole and a
narrow one for light materials. With the stitch
width key (140), you determine the required but
tonhole width. The length of the cut is changed
automatically (Fig. 4). A buttonhole width of
4.5 mm is stored.
After sewing, cut the buttonholes open (seE
page 106).

Changing the buttonhole
stitch length
With the stitch length key (125), the buttonholf
seams can be set more densely or loosely.
Buttonholes with
gimp thread
In the case of elastic materials, it is possible thai
the button holes extend. Therefore, the button
hole strip should be strengthened with interlininç.
material. In order to retain the shape of the button
hole, use gimp thread if possible. Place the gimp
thread over the back ridge ‘A”, pull taut and jam it
into front ridge “B” to the left and right (Fig. 1)
(Pull runner fully forwards).
The buttonhole sequence is the same as withou
gimp thread, see page 102, After completing thE
buttonhole pull on both thread ends of the gim[
thread (Fig. 2), until the loop is covered up by the
bar. This is where the button is located later. Pull
the gimp threads through to the underside with a
needle, secure them and trim them.
We recommend to determine the second scanE
bar yourself for this type of buttonhole (see page
102).
Single buttonhole
After sewing, cut the buttonholes open (see
page 106).
104
As you know, it is difficult to sew buttonholes in
collar stands, waistband strips etc. In such cases,
the buttonhole length should be drawn in pre
viously and the first seam, bartack and second
seam controlled by hand. Sewing foot No. 2 can
also be used for this work.
(Sewing procedure as described on page 102).
Eyelet buttonholes
14
-
Key:
press “sew slow”
Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear,
such as jackets, coats or leisure wear. They
should always be sewn with backing material
underneath. However, a piece of paper should
also be placed underneath during sewing.
The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia
meter of the button, plus its height. The distance
from the front should be equal to the buttonhole
width.
First mark the spacings and the distance from the
edge. Mark the buttonhole length from this point
to the inside. Then always sew from the inside
towards the edge.
Nine button-hole lengths are stored in the com
puter:
16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 mm.
Upon program selection, a zigzag stitch width of
6 mm appears in the display. Select the required
length for the buttonhole with stitch length key
125. The machine sews the selected buttonhole
automatically.
Adapting buttonhole seams
with the balance key
With the balance key (124) the left seam can be
adjusted to the right one.
Example:
If the left seam is too short, Fig. 1:
Using balance key, select + 1 to + 3 or more, if
required.
If the left seam is too long, Fig. 2:
1 to 2 or more, if
Using balance key, select
required.

After sewing, cut the buttonholes open (see
page 106).

Correction of a buttonhole
It a buttonhole does not turn out correctly, it can
be cancelled by selecting another program.
Select the buttonhole again.

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

Sewing in zippers

Need/e down
Key:
There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split
zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks.
They can be inserted concealed or open, as requi
red.
The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on
the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2).
Fufly concea’ed zippers
Baste the zipper in first. Engage the zipper foot at
its right side (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under
the foot so that its teeth run along the right edge
of the foot (Fig 3). When you change the needle
position respectively (see page 78), the zipper
can be stitched in at a narrow margin. Sew about
half the length of the zipper at the desired width.
Leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the foot,
and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Lower the foot, conti
nue to sew until the end of the zipper, then sew the
cross seam.
Sew on the other side of the zipper parallel and at
the same seam margin. Shortly before the end of
the seam, leave the needle down in the material,
raise the foot, and open the zipper (Fig. 5). Lower
the foot again, and sew the rest of the seam.
Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom
mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel
seams.
If the sewing foot is engaged with its right side,
the needle position must only be changed to the
right. If the sewing foot is engaged with its left
side, the needle position must only be changed to
the left.

Our sewing tip: If a zipper jams after dry cleaning
rub candle wax or a piece of soap over its teeth. It
can then be opened and closed without any
effort.

Needle: Twin needle
Cording seams are especially popular as a deco
ration on underwear, dresses, blouses, etc.
Cording sewn with the
cording tongue
Cording is always sewn with two needle threads
Place a spool of thread on each spool pin and
secure it in position with the corresponding
unreeling disc. Place one thread to the right, and
the other to the left of disc C” (Fig. 3 a). Then conti
nue threading the machine, as usual. Do not twist
the two threads. Thread each thread separately
through thread guides and the needle eye (Fig.
3b).
The thread tension should be adapted to each
fabric type. The tighter the tension, the more pro
minent the cording appears. Fig. 1 shows how the
cording tongue is engaged.
For thin materials, the cording foot with 7 groo
ves, the small cording tongue and a twin needle of
up to 2 mm are used.
For thicker materials, the cording foot with 5
grooves, the large cording tongue and the respec
tive twin needle are used.
If you wish to sew several cordings beside each
other, use the grooves of the cording foot (Fig. 2>
For greater distances we recommend using the
edge guide.

Key:
Shell edging provides nice trimming, especially
on sheer, soft materials. Fold over the fabric edge
once along the line which is to be decorated.
During sewing, the blindstitches draw in the fabric
edge at regular intervals, thus producing a shelledge effect. The stronger the needle thread ten
sion, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2).
Adding a wool thread of a different colour not only
reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive
contrast trimming.
Place the material under the needle so that it pro
trudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blind
stitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1).

Sew over the raw edges of the appliqué with nar
row, dense zigzag (purl) stitches.
To make the edge of the appliqué more promi
nent, insert a filler cord in the seam (Figs. 3 and 4).
Ready-made fabric appliqués can be applied
much more easily. Before you cut out the design,
iron on a fusible backing. This reinforces the mate
rial, makes it easier to cut, and prevents fraying.
Baste on the design. Place three layers of tissue
paper under the fabric and sew along the edges of
the design with dense, narrow zigzag stitches. In
this way, a good-looking seam is produced.
• For cording we recommend the appliqué foot

Quilting
(C]
prog

--
• Edge guide
Seams stitched on articles filled with cotton wool
or some other soft padding have a very prominent
effect. For this purpose, batting, foam plastic or
flannel is placed between the top ply and a light
weight bottom ply (Fig. 3).
To keep the fabric plies and the padding in place,
baste them together with rows of long basting stit
ches spread over the whole area.
Squares and diamonds can be sewn on the
straight or on the bias of the material. On fabrics
with regular patterns stitch between the patterns
or around them.
The spacing between seams can be set as requi
red by adjusting the guide accordingly.
Trace the seam line for the first seam on the fabric
or guide the quilting gauge along the straight-cul
fabric edge.
When you have completed the first seam move
the work sideways so that the quilting gauge rum
along the first seam or the traced seam line. Fo
each subsequent seam, guide the gauge finge
along the preceding line of stitching (Fig. 1).
Quilting can also be done advantageously on pat
terned materials.
Preparation of the material is the same as describ
ed above. Just sew around the contours and yot
have a very beautiful piece of embroidery (Fig. 2)
During the operation the needle position mus
not be changed.

Sewing with straight,
utility and stretch
stitches
Tips for embroidering and
sewing with the
PFAFF creative 1467
• Before you begin, first sew a test seam on a
scrap piece of the same material.
• Check stitch pattern and tension.
• Secure the beginning and end of the seam by
pressing the “tie-off/button-hole” key.
• When sewing light, soft and stretch materials
hold the thread ends at the beginning of
sewing (Fig. 1).
• With cross seams, such as lap-felled seams, we
recommend cutting out the fold and pressing
the seam. This will provide a flatter cross seam.
• In the case of problem materials, you can
achieve better sewing results with the left
needle position.
• Exact stitching of edges is facilitated by the
marking guide lines on the needle plate or by
an edge guide (Fig. 2).
• If you have to interrupt work during sewing,
e. g. with long fabric panels or upon change of
sewing direction, select needle position
“down”.
• Thread the needle with the needle threader.
2
J
3
Top-stitching collar points
• Insert a thread into each collar point before
beginning to sew and leave approximately
10cm of thread hanging. When stitching the
corner, you pull on the threads of the respec
tive corner for the first stitches in sewing direc
tion. The material feed is supported in this way
and you obtain a beautifully stitched corner
(Fig. 3).
• For top-stitching edges, especially in the case
of soft materials, a round-hole needle plate and
a straight-stitch sewing foot with round needle
hole can produce good sewing results (special
accessories).
•
4
Sewing aid for thick seams
In order to ensure uniform feeding at the begin
ning of the seam, we recommend supporting
the sewing foot with a piece of material of the
same thickness (Fig. 4).
73
U
Dual feed
Pfaff offer the only household sewing machine in
the world with built in dual feed. By this means, the
material is not only fed from below, but also from
above simultaneously. During processing of long
fabric panels, such as curtains and side curtains,
etc., there is no shifting of the material plies.
Also during assembly of checked or striped fabric
panels the material is fed exactly by the dual feed.
Especially during processing of delicatee mate
rials, no seam pucker results. In the case of pla
stics, oilcloth, imitation suede, etc. (i.e. in the case
of extremely difficult materials), dual feed is an
equally great help. It provides for excellent feed
ing of your workpiece, and consistent seams. The
dual feed can be combined with several sewing
feet.
raise sewing foot, push top feed
To engage:
downward until it engages.
To disengage: lift sewing foot, press top feed
lightly downward, pull it to the rear
and allow it to move up.
74
I
Sewing tips for
different materials
Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and
tension.
Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium
stitch length.
Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice
and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of
2.5 to 3 mm.
Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a
piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron.
Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics.
When sewing over thick intersections it is advis
able to cut away seam allowances.
Synthetic materials: do not baste such materials
as plastic, foil or oilcloth (penetration holes!). Use
long stitch lengths (4 to 6 mm) and the dual feed.
Pure silk: set needle thread tension a little lower.
Needle must be in perfect condition (otherwise
fibres are pulled). Use stitch lengths between 2
and 2.5 mm.
Knitted or crocheted materials: sew with light
needle thread tension and elastic seams.
Machine-embroidery silk: to obtain effective
motif embroideries set the needle thread tension
lighter, i. e. lower than the buttonhole range.

Felling foot
If two lines of stitching are to appear on the face side of
the iapseamed fabric, the two pieces of fabric must be
placed together with their reverse sides facing (Fig. 4a).
If only one line of stitching is to appear on the face side
of the lap-seamed fabric the two pieces of fabric must be
placed together with their face sides facing (Fig. 4b).
First workstep
Place the two pieces of fabric one on top of the other
with the bottom ply protruding by the width of the cutout
in the felling foot. Make sure the protruding edge enters
the felling foot so that it is folded and stitched down
(Fig. 2).
Second workstep
Open the two pieces and insert the seam ridge in the fel
ling foot. The ridge is folded down in the foot and stit
ched down along the edge. Pull both fabric plies apart
lightly during sewing (Fig. 3).
• Two felling feet are available as special accessories
for stitching margins of 4.5 and 6.5 mm.

Shirring
prog

Stitch length:
In order to obtain consistent gather with straight
stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring
threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring
on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam
straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the
fabric taut a little with your hands, because with
long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1).
After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang
ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at
about sewing-foot width.
Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them.
By this means you determine the amount of
gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in
order to ensure they do not break during gather
ing. Afterwards, do not forget to tie off the threads
at the beginning and end of the seams (Fig. 2).

First mark the starting line for the shirred seams
on the underside of the fabric. Insert the needle at
the seam beginning point and place an elastic
thread around the needle. Insert the elastic
thread in the groove of the sewing foot in use.
Lower the sewing foot and sew a number of
seams at about foot width. Ensure that the elastic
thread is not pierced during sewing and do not
stretch it. Finally, pull the threads with your hand,
and determine the amount of gather yourself.
Knot the threads on the inside (see Fig. 1).
Instead of elastic thread it is also possible to use
heavy cotton thread (see Fig. 2).
Pull the fabric to the required width and stitch the
threads down. This provides you with a fixed shirr
ed edge.

How to engage the shirring foot
Insert the shirring foot with its rear pin in groove
“A” and push the shoe upwards so that front pin
“B” snaps in (Fig. 2).
How to gather
Both outer fabric and the material to be shirred
are sewn together with the shirring foot in one
workstep. Ensure that the gathered material
always goes under the foot and the smooth outer
fabric in the foot cutout (Fig. 1). Lightly stretch the
outer fabric during sewing; by this means you
determine the degree of gathering.
How to disengage the foot:
Raise the presser bar lifter, Disengage the sewing
foot by pushing its front part down. Press up and

Stitch length:
Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tensionfree on bobbin)
Needle thread: sewing thread
For sewing with elastic threads we recommend
buying an additional bobbin case.
Because elastic threads are much thicker than an
ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin
case has to be set looser. The greater the bobbin
thread tension the greater the shirring effect.
The most suitable fabrics are nylon, satin, batiste
and fine-knit fabrics. The amount of gathering can
be determined by testing on a piece of waste
fabric. Sew the seams at about foot width (Fig. 1).
Tie off the seams on the reverse fabric side at the
beginning and end of the seams.
If there are several parallel seams, the material
must be stretched to its original width during
sewing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregu
lar. Do not forget to carry out a sewing test.

Seams which are not ironed open can be sewn
together and serged in one workstep.
The Pfaff Creative 1467 offers a selection of diffe
rent elastic assembly and serging seams from
which you can easily select the corresponding
seam for all stretchable materials.

Especially jersey materials can be sewn together
and serged in one workstep with the recommend
ed stitches (Fig. 1).
Sleeve cuffs or knit collars can be sewn on with
the above-mentioned programs in a wear-resist
ant manner just the same.
Sewing neck openings: Measure the required
width and close the stand at the correct curvature
and press open the seam, fold over in lengthwise
direction and pin onto neck cutout from face side.
The raw edges of the knit facing are placed on the
raw edge of the cutout. In one workstep, knit
facing and cutout edge are sewn together (Fig. 3).
In order to avoid waviness in the case of loosely
woven materials, insert an elastic thread. By this
means, the seam keeps its original shape (Fig. 2).

Generally buttonholes are sewn onto double
material. In spite of this, a piece of paper should
be placed underneath during sewing. First mark
the spacings and the distance from the edge. The
points thus obtained always mark the beginning
of sewing. Pull the runner of the buttonhole foot
fully to the front before beginning the buttonhole.
Sew the first lengthwise seam at the required
length (Fig. la). Press key 116 “tie-off/button
hole. After that the Pfaff Creative sews the first
bar and the reverse seam (Fig. 1 b). Shortly before
the end of the reverse seam the machine automa
tically slows down, thus calling attention to the
final bartack that is to be sewn now. Press key 116
(Fig. 1) again one zigzag stitch before the reverse
seam has the same length as the first buttonhole
seam, then sew the second bartack. The machine
automatically secures the buttonhole at the end
and then stops (Fig. ic). The buttonhole is now
stored. Without actuating further keys, the follow
ing buttonholes can now be sewn automatically.
If you wish to determine the 2nd bar for a pro

Adaption of buttonhole length
garment may consist of different numbers of
abric plies, e. g. the buttonhole strip may consist
f three plies and the collar stand of six owing to
the folded seam edge. In this case it is necessary
to program the computer for varying numbers of
fabric plies in order to maintain the same button
iole length as on the 3-ply buttonhole strip.
—
Changing the buttonhole width
Ear every fabric type, the corresponding button
ole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For
eavy materials select a wide buttonhole and a
arrow one for light materials. With the stitch
‘idth key (140), you determine the required but
nnhole width. The length of the cut is changed
utomatically (Fig. 4). A buttonhole width of
5mm is stored.
103
Changing the buttonhole
stitch length
With the stitch length key (125), the buttonhole
seams can be set more densely or loosely.
Buttonholes with
gimp thread
In the case of elastic materials, it is possible that
the button holes extend. Therefore, the button
hole strip should be strengthened with interlining
material. In order to retain the shape of the button
hole, use gimp thread if possible. Place the gimp
thread over the back ridge “A”, pull taut and jam it
into front ridge “B” to the left and right (Fig. 1).
(Pull runner fully forwards).
The buttonhole sequence is the same as without
gimp thread, see page 102. After completing the
buttonhole pull on both thread ends of the gimp
thread (Fig. 2), until the loop is covered up by the
bar. This is where the button is located later. Pull
the gimp threads through to the underside with a
needle, secure them and trim them.
We recommend to determine the second scans
bar yourself for this type of buttonhole (see page
102).
Single buttonhole
As you know, it is difficult to sew buttonholes in
collar stands, waistband strips etc. In such cases,
the buttonhole length should be drawn in pre
viously and the first seam, bartack and second
seam controlled by hand. Sewing foot No. 2 can
also be used for this work.

Key:
Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear,
such as jackets, coats or leisure wear. They
should always be sewn with backing material
underneath. However, a piece of paper should
also be placed underneath during sewing.
The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia
meter of the button, plus its height. The distance
from the front should be equal to the buttonhole
width.
First mark the spacings and the distance from the
edge. Mark the buttonhole length from this point
to the inside. Then always sew from the inside
towards the edge.
Nine button-hole lengths are stored in the com
puter:
16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 mm.
Upon program selection, a zigzag stitch width of

automatically.
With the balance key (124) the left seam can be
adjusted to the right one.
Example:
If the left seam is too short, Fig. 1:

The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on
the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2).
Fully concealed zippers
Baste the zipper in first. Engage the zipper foot at
its right side (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under
the foot so that its teeth run along the right edge
of the foot (Hg. 3). When you change the needle
position respectively (see page 78), the zipper
can be stitched in at a narrow margin. Sew about
half the length of the zipper at the desired width.
Leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the foot,
and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Lower the foot, conti
nue to sew until the end of the zipper, then sew the
cross seam.
Sew on the other side of the zipper parallel and at
the same seam margin. Shortly before the end of

seams.
If the sewing foot is engaged with its right side,
the needle position must only be changed to the
right. If the sewing foot is engaged with its left

Our sewing tip: If a zipper jams after dry cleaning,
rub candle wax or a piece of soap over its teeth. It
can then be opened and closed without any
effort.
