Preparing Your Machine for Sewing Push plug A into the receptacle on the back of the machine and the plug at the other end of the cord into the wall outlet. To switch on the sewlight, push the button on the face cover (see ill.). Place the foot control within easy reach of your foot and depress the pedal.
The machines feature a lever (10) under neath the balance wheel which serves to swing the motor to Its operative position. To engage the motor, flick this lever down.
To remove the bobbin case, turn the balance wheel until the needle is at the top of its stroke. On the Piaft 76, remove bed cover (13), as illustrated. Lift latch k on the bobbin case and pull out the bobbin case with the bob bin. The bobbin cannot fall out as long as you hold the case by its open latch.
For bobbin winding, disengage the sewing mechanism. Hold balance wheel (8) while turning stop motion knob (9) toward you (see ill.). To engage the sewing mechanism after the bobbin has been wound, turn the stop mo tion knob away from you (as indicated by the arrow in the ill,).
Hold the lull bobbin so that the thread un winds toward you and place it in the bobbin case. Pull the thread into slot (2) and under spring (3). As you pull the thread, the bobbin should rotate clockwise (4). Leave about three inches of thread hanging from the bobbin case.
To insert the bobbin case into the machine, rotate the balance wheel until the needle is at its highest point. Lift the latch and place the bobbin case on center stud s (see ill.), making sure its slot (white arrow) points up. Release the latch and press against the bobbin case until you hear it snap into place.
To remove the workplate, swing up its sup port and unlock it by pulling out and swing ing up the lever on the back of the machine (see arrow in Fig. 2). On machines having no carrying case base, the workplate support is pressed against the baseplate of the machine.
Upper threading is illustrated opposite. Please note that the thread is placed be tween any two of the discs of tension (20), pulled clockwise around the tension stud and drawn toward the right with a jerk (see ill.). As you do this, hold the thread steady somewhere between the spool and the ten sion.
The sewing foot is raised and lowered by operating the presser bar lifter on the back of the machine (see ill.). A = Presser bar lifter up B = Presser bar lifter down 12 To draw up the bobbin thread, hold the needle thread and lower the sewing foot. Turn the balance wheel toward you a full turn.
Fundamentals of Machine Operation For ordinary sewing, needle position lever (19) should be in its center position. Make sure the take-up lever is at its highest point before you begin and after you have completed a seam (2). Always rotate balance wheel (8) toward you (see arrow).
Begin by sewing a straight-stitch seam. To this end, push stitch width control (18) to the right as far as it will go. The stitch length is regulated by turning stitch length control (11). The number indi cating the stitch length chosen should be opposite the dot on the left-hand side of the slot.
15 To sew in reverse or backtack the end of a seam, simply depress fingertip control (12). The stitch width is regulated by pushing stitch width control (18) toward the left, as may be desired. Various zigzag sewing operations are dis cussed on page 26 and the following pages.
Balanced tensions are essential for sewing. Both tensions are correctly balanced if the needle and bobbin threads interlock in the center of the material. The bobbin thread tension is regulated by turning the small knurled screw on the bob bin case. Turn this screw right (with your thumb nail) for a tighter tension, or left for a looser ten sion.
The accessory box which belongs to your machine contains several sewing feet for special sewing operations. To change the sewing foot, bring the needle to its highest point and raise the foot. Turn out screw 16 until the sewing foot can be removed, tilt ing it sideways (see ill.
Darning To prepare your machine for darning, pro ceed as follows: Replace the ordinary sewing foot by darn ing foot No. 91-102826-91, attaching it from the rear so that spring clip c rests on needle set screw (22). Tighten sewing foot thumb screw (16).
Darning sheer and soft materials is greatly facilitated by placing them in darning hoops. Draw up the bobbin thread and hold both threads lightly with your left hand while the first stitches are being made. Trim the threads and start stitching back and forth across the hole in sewing direction.
Zipper Insertion Attach zipper foot without quilting gauge. Stitch length: 1.5 to 2. Central needle position. 84 Baste closed zipper on the fabric, then open it. Stitch close to the left edge of the zipper for about 1 inch, guiding the right edge of the foot along the zipper teeth (1).
Flat Felled Seams Attach flat feller No. 93-847561-00. Stitch length: 1.5 to 2. Flat felled seams are used to durably join two pieces of fabric and are usually straight-stitched. First Seam: Lay pieces together with the right sides facing and the bottom piece protruding about 1/8 inch.
Hemming Stitch length: 1.5 to 2 847 551 Fold the beginning of the fabric edge twice, making a hem about 1 /s inch wide and several inches long. Place the material under the hemmer foot and lower the same. Make 3 to 4 straight stitches to secure the folded edge in place.
Cording Use ordinary sewing foot No. 93-838 954-00, and insert a twin needle (which can be ob tained from your Pfaff dealer). Stitch length: 1.5 to 2. Cording is made with two needle threads. When threading the needles, make sure to lead each thread between a separate pair of tension discs (see ill.
Use a thread which is not too heavy and matches the material being hemstitched (preferably a No. 50 embroidery thread). Insert a System 130 Twin hemstitch needle. Make sure the needle and bobbin threads are the same size. The threading procedure is the same as for cording work.
The stitch length is regulated by turning stitch length control (11) (see ill.). The larger the number, the longer the stitch. The Zigzag Seam The stitch width is regulated by pushing stitch width control (18) toward the left, as may be desired. Never change the stitch width setting unless the needle is outside the fabric.
Overcasting Edges with Zigzag Stitches Attach ordinary sewing foot. Stitch length: 2. 838 954 u To overcast the edges of light and medium- weight fabrics, set the machine for its maxi mum stitch width. Soft and flimsy fabrics are best overcast with a zigzag stitch of medium width.
Inserting Patches Set the stitch length control on “1” and the stitch width control in the middle of its slot and stitch along the edge of the patch. Set the stitch length control on “O5” and the stitch width control at the extreme left of its slot and sew over first seam.
Inserting Lace Stitch length: 1 838 954 u Place the lace on the material and stitch it down with straight stitches on both sides (1). Cut the fabric open under the lace insertion (2) and iron it on both sides of the lace. Sew over the edges of the lace with short zigzag stitches of medium width (3).
4- () 3r C’D Changing the Needle Position Some special sewing jobs are made with the needle switched to the right or left of the needle plate slot. This is done by moving lever (19) to the right and left, respectively. The needle position lever is indispensable for sewing buttonholes.
Sewing Buttonholes Attach buttonhole foot No. 847616 to the machine and set the slide on the buttonhole gauge to the buttonhole length desired. The number indicating the buttonhole length should be in line with the right edge of the slide.
Sew the first seam over the filler cord. When the buttonhole is the right length, leave the needle in the fabric on the right of its throw. Lift the sewing foot, turn the fabric around clockwise by half a turn, place the filler cord aroL.!nd the needle and pull it forward, placing it in the left groove of the foo.
Monogram Embroidery Regulate the stitch width to suit the size of the monogram. Remove the sewing foot and drop the ma chine feed. Lower the presser bar lifter.
Fold the hem (2) and place the fabric under the sewing foot so that the folded edge is in line with the left groove of the foot (see ill.). Regulate the stitch width so that the needle takes the left stitch exactly in the folded edge, catching merely one fabric yarn (see ill.
Ornamental Sewing You can make exciting fashion-stitch designs by varying stitch length, stitch width and needle position. Some of the designs you can make are illustrated on this page. Additional ornamental efFects are obtained by sewing over a filler cord.
To make appliqué, proceed as follows: 1. Trace the design on the right side. 2. Set the stitch length control on “1’ and stitch along the outlines.
To change the light bulb, remove the face cover by pulling it in the direction indicated by the arrow. Push the light bulb into its socket, turn left and pull out. Insert the new bulb so that its pins slide into the socket slots. Press the bulb in and turn right.
Machine Care Longevity and smooth machine performance are dependent on regular cleaning and prop er oiling. Since your Pfaff sewing machine has been made from high-grade materials, there are only a few oiling points left. The raceway in the sewing hook is the most important oiling point.
r • From time to time, clean the parts in the machine arm and in the vicinity of the sew- • ing hook with a soft brush. To this end, remove the needle, the sewing foot and the bobbin case with the bobbin. On Plaff 77 machines, loosen the set screw, lift the front of the free arm cover and pull the cover out lengthwise of the arm (1 &2).
Trouble Shooting When operated properly, your sewing ma chine will hardly develop any trouble. Please remember to restore the normal set ting after you have completed your sewing job (buttonhole sewin.
