Twin needle Pintucks

Twin needle Pintucks are created by placing a twin needle in your Pfaff

creative 2170. Mark the fi rst line of stitching with a fade away or wash

away fabric pen. Continue to mark lines or use one of the optional Pfaff

Pintuck feet to easily guide your rows where needed.

• Replace the standard sewing needle with a 2.0 mm twin needle. Set

your creative 2170 for normal Straight Stitch (no. 1), stitch length 2.5

– 3.0, presser foot 2, IDT disengaged.

• Touch the Twin needle icon and set for a 2.0mm twin needle.
• Thread the top and bobbin with thread matching the color of fabric.

Use the extra spool pin for the second top spool. Remember to place

one top thread in one side of the tension disc and the other thread

on the other side of the tension disc.

• Sew along the fi rst line of stitching. Continue until all pintucks are

sewn.

Cross Stitch

No other sewing technique is as closely associated with the term

needlework as cross-stitching. With your Pfaff creative 2170 and the

cross stitches, no. 117-136 this traditional sewing technique can be

created remarkably easily and quickly. The pre-programmed cross

stitches give a hand sewn look and lend a distinctive character to table

linens, towels or clothes.

Tips for cross stitch sewing:

• Always work using the sew slow and needle up/down functions.
• Attach fancy stitch foot no. 2A.

Antique hand embroidery stitches

Your Pfaff creative 2170 has 23 different Antique Hand embroidery

stitches. These stitches has been especially made to look like they have

been stitched by hand. The sewing machine sews these over the stitch 9

times, making it look like you have sewn it with a heavyweight thread.
