Four sewing directions
You can program the width and length of a rectangle to be sewn, and
save these settings permanently. This is great for sewing on patches
without having to turn the fabric.
The Four directions sewing can be used on stitches no. 2-4, 7, 10, 11, 18,
23 and 25. Once you have touched the Four directions sewing icon the
screen, you will see the following screen (A).
1. Sewing in four directions without saving the program
If one of the direction arrows has turned dark green (B) the function is
active and your Pfaff creative 2170 is ready to sew. With the direction
arrows you can decide the fi rst direction in which the machine sews.
Press the foot control and the machine sews to the right.
When the desired length is sewn, press the reverse button or touch
the next direction icon. Your Pfaff creative 2170 completes the current
stitch, the needle is positioned in the outer corner of the rectangle.
Now, the machine sews forward until you press the reverse button or
the next direction icon. Your Pfaff creative 2170 completes the current
stitch, the needle is positioned in the outer corner of the rectangle.
The length of the other sides are also decided by pressing the reverse
button or touching the direction arrows. The size of the rectangle is not
saved.
2. Program the Four directions sewing
Touch Prog icon (C) and the desired sewing direction before starting to
sew. Then save the program to sew it several times.
Use the reverse button to change the sewing direction as described
above. The sewn width and length of the fi rst two sides are shown on
the screen.
Continue sewing until the rectangle is complete. When all four
directions are programmed, the Prog icon changes (D). Now
the program is stored and can be repeated. It can also be saved
permanently in the machine.
Note: If you only want to save one, two or three sides of a rectangle, touch the Prog icon
when you have sewn the sides you want to save. Only the sides you have programmed
will be saved. This is great for patch pockets, that are sewn with three seams.
