Wing Needle

Sewing with a wing needle (a special needle with a wide, wing-like shaft) creates the look of hemstitching in woven natural fiber fabrics by creating holes where the needle goes in and out of the fabric.

•Replace standard needle with a wing needle. Choose any stitch that goes back and forth into the same holes several times (137- 144). Use the recommended presser foot for that stitch.

•Thread the top and bottom with lightweight thread in color that matches the fabric you are using. (Remember you want to see the holes that are created and not the thread.)

•Begin sewing. Use the sew slow button (A) to reduce your speed while using the wing needle.

Note: For fine fabrics, place a lightweight tear-away stabilizer or water soluble stabilizer under stitching.

Hemstitching

This is a technique everyone recognizes as embroidered by hand. With your Pfaff creative 2170, you can produce hemstitching much more quickly and easily. With 10 special hemstitches and by changing the stitch length and width, you can create a variety of hemstitch effects.

A wing needle is required for hemstitching work. When entering the fabric the wing needle forms holes which are typical for hemstitching. Hemstitching will be most successful on relatively coarse linen and cotton fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled.

If you pull additional threads and sew along the edges close to the threads you have pulled out, you will achieve even more beautiful hemstitching effects as the remaining threads are bundled.
