Straight stitch

Stitch number 1 is the basic straight stitch in center needle position. The stitch length can be increased up to 6 mm. Change the needle position of the straight stitch to sew in a zipper or topstitch along the edge of

a collar. Your Pfaff creative 2170 has 19 needle positions that can be adjusted with the stitch width -/+ buttons.

Tip: Use the needle up/down button to easily pivot at collar points. You can also just tap on the foot control to set the needle in the down position.

Three-step Zigzag stitch – No 4

Stitch no 4 can be used to overcast raw edges. Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts the edge on the right side.

Stitch number 4 can also be used as an elastic stitch to add elastic to pajamas, skirts and sportswear.

Basting program

Basting is often used in dressmaking to join fabric layers quickly for fitting in order to be able to adjust the garment to the body. For that purpose you either sew long stitches with 6 mm stitch length or jump stitches with a length of about 2 cm.

You can also apply markings to materials with long basting stitches stitched through the material to be used. This is preferable to using fabric markers in color, especially on light-colored fabrics or materials with a rough texture.

Your Pfaff creative 2170 includes a basting program which can be selected with stitch no. 32.

This program can be used in two different ways and is linked to the engagement and disengagement of the feed dogs.

If the feed dogs are disengaged, the sewing machine will only sew one stitch at a time. You have to touch the foot control every time you want the sewing machine to sew one stitch. This allows you to move the fabric every time so that you can determine the stitch length yourself.

By touching the Presser foot lifter icon you can select to which height the presser foot should raise automatically when the sewing machine stops for feeding the fabric further.

If the feed dogs are engaged, the sewing machine sews with a 6 mm stitch length. 6 mm is the longest stitch length of the Pfaff creative 2170; it enables you to sew a temporary seam for fitting.
