Sewing
Speed
The
Pfoff
rotary
hook
enables
you
to
sew
at
speeds
of
over
2OO
stitches
a
minute.
Such
high
speeds
are
ideal
for

operations.
Wide
zigzag
stitches
and
Automatic
embroidery
work
require
o
lower
speed
which
is
obtained
by
depressing
the
foot

The
appearance
of
the
finished
seam
is
dependent
on
the
correct
relationship
between
needle,
thread
and
fabric. Select
the
proper
thread
sizes
and
needles
from
this
chart.
The
same
size
threads
should
be
used
in
the
needle
and
on
the
bobbin.
Some
experienced
seamstresses
prefer
a
somewhat
thinner bobbin
thread.
However,
the
bobbin
thread
never
should
be
thicker
than
the
needle
thread.
