Selecting a design stored on a Pfaff creative card and
changing the hoop:
The contents of the creative card are opened.
• Designs appear directly on the screen.
• If designs on the card are arranged in different directories, these are
shown as folders (A). You can browse one column at a time with
the arrows.
• Touch the Embroid folder (B) to open it. The designs appear on the
screen.
• Touch any design, and it appears enlarged on the screen. Confi rm
your choice with OK or touch the screen.
• Choose a hoop most suitable for the embroidery by touching the
More options (C) and the Hoop icon (D). Hoop the fabric and attach
the hoop to the embroidery unit.
To start to embroider touch the reverse button or tap on your foot
control. Your Pfaff creative 2170 will then calibrate, to sense the size
of the hoop attached to the embroidery unit. This might take a few
seconds. After the calibration, your Pfaff creative 2170 is ready to
embroider.
All settings and sewing functions for the design are displayed on the
screen and can be altered.
Basting in the embroidery hoop
If you touch the Basting in the hoop (E), you activate a basting function.
The machine will then sew a 6mm straight stitch at a distance of 2mm
around one or more selected designs.
This enables you to secure your fabric to a non-adhesive stabilizer
placed beneath it, especially when the fabric to be embroidered cannot
be hooped. It also provides support for stretchy fabrics.
Note: If you select embroidery/single color segments, only the selected color segment will
be basted.
If you press the foot control, the embroidery foot is lowered into the
embroidery position and the sewing machine starts to baste.
