How to select a stitch

There are three different ways to select a stitch on your Pfaff creative 2170.

Start by opening the Main menu. On the Main menu the stitches are divided into different categories. You can select a stitch by touching one of the categories, and then select the stitch by pressing the icon of the stitch.

The second way to choose a stitch is to go into one of the categories and scroll between the different menus by touching the scroll bar. You will then scroll your way across the different categories of stitches.

When you open the Main menu the Join menu is always selected. If you press the foot control at this point the display switches to the straight stitch and your Pfaff creative 2170 is ready to sew. Press the foot control once again and the machine will start to sew stitch number 1; a straight stitch. You can touch any stitch and the machine will open a screen for that stitch (A).

The third way to select a stitch is to touch the icon Selection by number on the Main menu. A pop-up will appear where you can select a stitch by pressing the stitch number. You can find stitch numbers on the lid on your Pfaff creative 2170 and stitch cards or in this User's Guide (page 1:8-1:13).

If you have opened a menu and want to go back to the main menu, simply press the ESC button (B).

Altering a utility stitch

When you open a screen the most important settings are visible. To illustrate this we have chosen a zigzag stitch.

 

You can modify the settings that are displayed, such as values for

 

stitch width (this icon changes to needle position for straight stitch)

 

(C), stitch length (D) and thread tension (E), for the stitch. As soon as

 

you change a value the numbers will turn red indicating that you have

 

made a change. Once you have reached the maximum or minimum

E

value, the function automatically becomes inactive. If you exit the

screen, the stitch settings will go back to the way they were.
