General notes on decorative sewing
To enhance your own home decorations or garments your Pfaff
creative 2170 offers you a wide variety of fancy and decorative stitches.
Create a greater variety of embellishments by combining different
patterns, colors and sizes. Use specialty decorative threads to enhance
the lovely stitching.
Always use stabilizers under your fabric when sewing decorative
stitches. Properly stabilizing your fabric will help eliminate distortion
of your decorative stitches.
The following recommendations apply to all decorative sewing:
• Rayon embroidery threads give shiny, smooth stitching results and
come in many colors and weights.
• The stitch length and width can be altered as desired.
• Your sewing results will be much prettier if your tension is
properly adjusted.
• Presser foot no. 1A (for IDT) and no. 2A (without IDT) are
recommended for decorative work. We recommend presser foot no.
2A for heavier fabrics.
