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

stitches, they are more durable and what is more,
they are very fast to sew.
TIP: We recommend using blind stitch foot No 3
when sewing overlock seams. This guides the
fabric better and prevents tunneling of the seam at
wider stitch widths.

Open overlock stitch

Prog. 29
With this stitch it is easy to join firm materials or
fabrics which do not fray too much.
TIP: Make sure that the needle at its farthest right-
hand position just misses the edge of the material.

Closed overlock stitch

With program 25 you can sew jersey-quality
fabrics perfectly. You can also sew on cuffs and
collars extremely durably with it.
TIP: Make sure that the cuff is stretched while
sewing.

Pullover stitch
Prog. 20
Used together with the knit-edge foot (special
accessories), this stitch can even be used for open-
knit fabrics. Fashion-knit garment sections can also
be joined effortlessly with this stitch.
TIP: To prevent the seam from stretching while
sewing, it is advisable to add a woollen thread or
length of yarn under light tension.

Buttonhole foot No. 5A.
Before starting a buttonhole, always push the
runner up to the second red mark so that the red
arrow is level with this mark. The red marks are 0.5
cm apart. They are for orientation when selecting
the length of the buttonhole.

70
If you wish to create perfect buttonholes of a
uniform size, even on the most difficult materials,
we recommend you use the buttonhole guide.
Attach the buttonhole foot No. 5A. If you are
working with thick materials such as overcoats, we
recommend using foot 1A and the Dual Feed
together with the buttonhole guide.
All of the following buttonholes can be sewn with
the buttonhole guide.

Inserting the buttonhole guide:

1. Remove the detachable work support
2. Push the metal part of the buttonhole guide into
the slot below the needle plate from the rear
(between the two arrows). The white plastic part
is over the needle plate.
3. 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 button
hole will not be sewn.
Inserting the buttonhole guide activates the sensor.

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

Darning position:
Lower the presser-toot lifter while pushing it lightly
to the rear. This snaps the presser-toot lifter into
notch B (darning position>.
• Place the darning work in the darning hoop.
• Drop the teed dog.
• Pull up the bobbin thread and hold the threads
when you start sewing.
• Darn the damaged area by guiding the fabric
back and forth evenly in the prescribed direction
while ensuring that each line ends with a small
curve. This helps to avoid the fabric ripping again.
• When you have finished sewing the damaged
area, rotate the fabric a half turn and darn the
area once again.
You determine the stitch length yourself by moving
the fabric back and forth at the required speed.
TIP: If you are moving the fabric too slowly, small
knots will appear on the reverse side of the fabric.

particularly suitable here. They are available in

get them tangled.

Embroidering large motifs

With a little imagination, you can combine the
embroidery programs of the Creative 7510 to
create any number of new embroidery patterns.
Geometrical forms are particularly suitable for the
foundation. These can be transfered to the material
by means of templates. An oval served as the basis
for the baby shoes pictured.

Don’t forget the darning position.
• Tie off the threads and remove the stabilizer.
TIP: By sewing quickly and moving the material
slowly, you stitch densely.
When embroidering on terry cloth, the monogram
must first be sewn with a narrow zigzag stitch and
then overstitched with a wider zigzag stitch. In this
way the terry cloth loops are completely sewn over.

hemstitching programs are at your disposal and
by changing the stitch lengths and widths, you can

you need a wing needle. Only for very fine fabrics
is a normal sewing needle, size 80, used. Coarse-

Sewing with a gimp thread makes a similar effect

However, with a gimp thread you work without a
cording blade.
• First remove the needle plate.
• Thread the gimp thread upwards through the
hole in the needle plate.
• Return the needle plate to its position. The notch
between the needle plate and the sewing
machine provides space for the gimp thread. This
thread must be fed under the detachable work
support, so that it does not become tangled
during sewing.
• While sewing the cording, the material must be
pulled lightly.

pull out to the back
• Adjust the binder so that the needle enters at
about 1 —1 .5 mm (1/1 61 from the folded-in edge
of the bias tape. This can also be achieved by
changing the needle position.
• Stitch a few centimetres (about an inch) along
the bias tape.
• Insert the edge to be bound into the slot of the
binder. The raw edge must be placed between
the bias tape edges. The bias tape encloses the
raw edge automatically.
TIP: You can obtain an additional effect by using
zigzag stitches or fancy stitches.
