Reverse sewing direction (only on the PFAFF 487), 489

●As long as the reverse sewing key is pressed, the machine sews in reverse. For the pro- gramming and learning functions, the relevant seam section is programmed "in reverse".

Bartack suppression

●If the bartack function is activated, by pressing this key once the next bartack and by pressing it twice the next two bartacks are not sewn.

Correction value + / correction value -

●If this key is pressed, the fullness value is increased or reduced in 2 steps. Fullness va- lue 0 is not corrected. To make this possible, a correction value different to 0 must be entered in parameter 209.

Number keys 0 - 14

●The previously allocated amount of fullness is called up by pressing a key.

When two neighbouring number keys are pressed simultaneously, the corresponding average value is selected.

●In the manual sewing mode, the fullness can be allocated to the individual keys. The current fullness value (which can be set on the touch-screen) is allocated to a key if it is pressed for a long time (>3s). A bleep signalizes that the value has been saved. Following values are pre-set and can be altered as described above.

Key 0: No fullness will be applied.

Key 14: Maximum fullness is selected.

The fullness values are designed for a basic stitch length of 2.5 mm. When sewing with shorter stitch lengths, the gathering intensity is increased, with longer stitch lengths it is reduced accordingly.
