When attached, a hook keeps the accessory tray
locked to the machine. Remove the tray by sliding
it to the left.
Thread cutter
To use the thread cutter, pull the thread from back
to front as shown (A).
A
Spool pins
Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool
pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins
are designed for all types of thread. The main
spool pin is adjustable and can be used both in a
horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool)
and a vertical position (the thread spool rotates).
Use the horizontal position for normal threads and
the vertical position for large spools or specialty
threads.
Horizontal position
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool
pin. Make sure that the thread reels over the top
and slide on a second spool cap.
Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread
spool. For narrow thread spools, use a smaller
spool cap in front of the spool. For large thread
spools, use a larger spool cap in front of the spool.
The Á at side of the spool cap should be pressed À rmly against the spool. There should be no space
between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Small spool cap
Large spool cap
2:2

Vertical position
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. Slide
on the large spool cap and place a felt pad under
the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as
that would prevent the spool from rotating.
Auxiliary spool pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a
bobbin thread from a second spool of thread or for
a second spool when sewing with a twin needle.
Raise the auxiliary spool pin. Slide on a large spool
cap and place a felt pad under the thread spool.

hook pulls the thread through the needle eye
Preparations
and forms a loop behind the needle. Pull the
thread loop out behind the needle.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size
70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for
size 60 needles or smaller, a wing needle, twin needle or
triple needle. There are also some optional accessories
that require manual threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the
needle is threaded from front to back. The bobbin cover
can be used as a magnifying glass.

IDT (integrated dual feed)
For sewing any fabric precisely, PFAFF® creative™
2.0 sewing and embroidery machine provides
the ideal solution: the integrated dual feed, IDT
system. As on industrial machines, the IDT feeds
the fabric from the top and bottom at the same
time. The material is fed precisely. On light fabrics
such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents
puckering of the seam. The even feeding action
also ensures perfect matching of checked and
striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt
projects aligned to prevent shifting of the top
layers.
