correctly adjusted. The normal setting for
utility stitches is in the range from 4 to 5.
Check the tension using a wide zigzag
stitch. The thread interlace must be between the two layers of fabric.
If the needle thread tension is too tight,
the interlace will be on the top side of the
fabric.
If the needle thread tension is set too
loose, the interlace will be on the reverse
side of the fabric.

Topstitching with the edge guide
(special accessories)
For broad topstitching work we recommend using the edge guide. This accessory guarantees topstitching which
is parallel to the edge of the fabric. The
edge guide is inserted into hole C and is
secured with À xing screw F.
Feed aid for thick seams
To ensure precise feeding at the beginning of a thick seam, we recommend placing a piece of fabric which is the same
thickness as the work under the back of
the sewing foot to support it.
26
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Straight stitch
Program B is the basic straight stitch in
center needle position.
Select stitch B. You can vary the stitch
length with the stitch length adjustment
button (30).
Straight stitch in “left” needle position
Some sewing work can be accomplished
more easily by altering the needle position. E.g. topstitching a collar or sewing
on a zipper.
Model 1022, 1032:
Select stitch C.
Model 1042:
Select stitch C
or
select stitch B. You can inÀ nitely alter the
needle position from 0/left to 5/center with
the stitch width adjustment button (32).
Zigzag stitch
Model 1022, 1032:
Select stitch D and set the zigzag stitch at
the required width. Refer to the marks in
the adjustment À eld.
Model 1042:
Select stitch D. You can vary the stitch
width from 0 to 5 mm with the stitch width
adjustment button (32).
Tip: Blind stitch foot no. 3 is particu-
larly suitable for serging thin materials.
While sewing, the thread passes over
the bar thus preventing the fabric edge
from rolling up. This ensures a good,
smooth seam. The trimmed edge must
be guided along the stop. You can adjust the stop with the retaining screw.
27
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Elastic blind stitch, program F
The elastic blind stitch is especially suitable for invisible hems; sewing by hand is
no longer necessary. It is equally suitable
for both stretch and non-stretch fabrics.
The hem is sewn and serged simultaneously, i.e. an extra serging of the fabric
edge is not necessary.
• On materials which fray strongly, serge
the hem edge separately.
• Use blind stitch foot no. 3.
• Fold the hem width inwards.
• Lay the hem back outwards so that the
hem edge protrudes by about 1 cm.
• Lay the fabric underneath the presser
foot so that the crease line runs along
the red guide.
• The needle should only catch one
thread when entering the fabric in the
crease line.
28
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Sewing on buttons
For sewing on buttons, the presser foot
must be removed and the feed dog must
be lowered (c.f. page 20).
• Select the 4 mm zigzag stitch, stitch D.
Model 1022, 1032:
Select stitch D. Turn the stitch adjustment
button (9) to the required width (refer to
the marks).
Model 1042
Select stitch D and set the stitch width adjustment button (32) at “4”.
• Turn the handwheel towards you and
position the button so the needle enters
the left hole in the button.
• Lower the presser bar lifter. The button
will be held in place by the shank of the
foot.
• Sew on the button. Take care to ensure
that the needle also enters the right
hand hole in the button.
• Knot the thread ends on the reverse
side.
Sewing on buttons with a thread shank
• Attach the presser foot.
• Place a match between the holes in the
button and sew as described in the left
hand column on this page.
• Remove the match and pull the fabric
and the button apart.
• Wrap the shank with the sewing thread
and knot it.

Utility stitches and practical sewing
Stitch B stretch
(models 1032 and 1042 only)
Stretch triple straight stitch
Use this program for all seams which
require a high level of durability: e.g.
crotch seams.
30
Stitch D stretch
(models 1032 and 1042 only)
Stretch triple zigzag
The stretch triple zigzag is a very elastic
and decorative seam which is particularly
suitable for T-shirts and underwear.
• Serge the fabric edge.
• Fold over the desired hem width.
• Topstitch the hem from the face side.
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Elastic stitch
Stitch E
Because of its high elasticity, this stitch is
used for sewing on elastic band, e.g. on
underwear; skirt, trouser and dress waistbands; and cuffs.
• If replacing elastic, cut off old elastic
close to its edge.
• If needed, gather the fabric edge with
the 4 mm long straight stitch (c.f. page
40).
• Divide fabric and elastic into quarters
and mark. You may À nd it easier to han-
dle if you pin the elastic to the fabric at
the matching marks.
• Stretch the elastic to À t the fabric,
matching marks as you sew.
• Overlap the ends slightly and secure
with the elastic stitch.
• On skirts and pants (trousers) the
elastic is sewn onto the prepared edge
with the elastic stitch.
Honeycomb stitch
models 1032 and 1042 E stretch
The honeycomb stitch is an elastic and
decorative hem which is very suitable for
underwear and T-shirts.
• Fold the seam or hem edge over twice
and overstitch with the honeycomb
stitch.
31
Utility stitches and practical sewing
What is an overlock stitch?
For elastic and knitted materials, the
hobby models 1032 and 1042 offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers
together and serge simultaneously. They
are more elastic than normal seams, very
durable and easy and fast to sew.
Tip: We recommend using blind stitch
foot no. 3 when sewing overlock seams.
It guides particularly well and prevents
the seam puckering even on wide
seams.
Stitch H stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker materials and
fabrics which do not fray strongly can be
sewn together perfectly.
Tip: Ensure that the needle sews the
right hand stitch just next to the material and not in it.
Stitch J stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Closed overlock stitch
With this stitch you can sew jersey fabrics
perfectly. You can also sew on sleeve
cuffs and knit collars.
Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is
stretched while it is being sewn.
32
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Buttonholes
Sewing buttonholes is very easy with all of the hobby models because the fabric does
not have to be rotated. To make sewing buttonholes even easier we recommend the
buttonhole foot.
Generally, buttonholes are sewn onto lined, doubled fabric. However, it is necessary to
additionally stabilize some materials such as silk, organza and rayon with backing paper so that the fabric does not gather when being sewn.
Avalon (from Madeira) is very good for this purpose. This is a special type of stabilizer
that dissolves in water. On materials such as velvet and thick wool fabrics that feed
poorly it can be used either on or underneath the fabric. The material is thus fed more
efÀ ciently by the machine and buttonholes are much easier to sew.
Embroidery and darning threads are particularly good for sewing attractive seams.
Using a fabric marker or pin, mark the starting points of the buttonholes and always
sew a test buttonhole À rst.
Note (models 1022 and 1032):
Before every buttonhole you must slide the runner of the buttonhole foot forward
as far as it will go, i.e. the red arrow is at the first red line. The red markings are 0.5
cm apart. The red markings give you a means of determining the length of the buttonhole.
Tip: It is important to always sew a test buttonhole on the same fabric/stabilizer as
your project.

Linen buttonhole with gimp thread
To sew especially durable buttonholes,
e.g. on sportswear, we recommend using
a gimp thread.
On elastic materials the gimp thread is
particularly important to prevent the buttonhole from stretching.
• Lay the gimp thread over the rear protrusion A and pass the thread ends underneath the presser foot towards the
front.
• Clamp the threads to the left and right
of protrusion B.
• Slide the buttonhole runner as far
forwards as possible and sew the buttonhole as described in the left hand
column.
• Pull the loop of the gimp thread into the
buttonhole and trim the thread ends.

Hemming with the twin needle
Topstitching work can be carried out on
normal and stretch materials with the twin
needle.
Professional hems on T-shirts, knitwear
and cycling shorts can be sewn quickly
and easily with the twin needle. The twin
needle is available in various widths.
Please ensure that you use the jersey
needle for stretch fabrics!
• First fold and iron the width of fabric desired for the hem.
• Topstitch the hem from the face side.
• Cut the protruding hem edge fabric
close to the seam.
Tip: On difficult materials such as
ribbed knitwear it is advisable to baste
the hem before topstitching it.
Threading the twin needle
• Place a spool on each of the spool pins.
• Pass both of the threads through the
thread guides (c.f. page 16).
• Lay the threads behind the thread
guides (15) and (16) and thread one of
the threads into each of the right and
left needles.

Smocking effect with elastic threads
Fine, light fabrics such as batiste, rayon
and silk are especially suitable for beautiful smocking work. For smocking work
with elastic thread you should use an additional bobbin case and wind it by hand
with the elastic thread. As the elastic
thread is much stronger than the normal
bobbin thread, the tension of the bobbin
case must be set very loose. Don·t forget
however, the higher the bobbin thread
tension, the tighter the gathering effect.
• Sew a test seam to determine the level
of gather.
• Mark the À rst line on the face side of the
fabric and sew along it.
• Each additional seam can be sewn at a
presser foot·s width from the À rst row.
• When sewing several seams next to
one another, you must stretch the fabric to its original length when sewing
the subsequent seams. Otherwise the
gather will be irregular.
• Knot the threads at the beginning and
end of the seam on the reverse side.

Utility stitches and practical sewing
Gathering with the straight stitch
With program B you can gather sleeves,
skirts and valances with a stitch length of
4 mm. To ensure a consistent gathering
effect you should sew two or three rows of
gathers.
• Mark the À rst line on the face side of
the fabric and sew along it. Allow the
threads to extend approx. 10-20 cm beyond the ends of the fabric.
• Each subsequent seam can be sewn
one presser foot width from the last.
• Gather the piece of fabric by pulling
the bobbin thread. You determine the
amount of gather by how much you pull
the thread.
• Secure the gathers by knotting the
thread ends.

Gathering with the elastic thread
Sleeve and waist seams can be gathered
with ease using an elastic thread. The
elastic thread does not have to be wound
onto the bobbin.
• Mark the À rst gathering seam on the
reverse side of the fabric.
• Sew a few stitches using the honeycomb stitch and leave the needle in
the fabric. The needle must be in the
middle of the presser foot. Raise the
presser foot and lay the elastic thread
around the needle.
• Lower the presser foot and sew a few
stitches. Pull the elastic thread evenly
at both ends.
• You determine the amount of gather by
the amount you pull the threads.
• The gather can also be altered after
sewing by pulling the ends of the elastic
threads.
• Knot the threads and the elastic to secure the gathers.
Tip: The cording foot (special ac-
cessories) is particularly suitable for
gathering. Due to its guide grooves the
elastic is fed evenly during the sewing
process.

Darning with the elastic stitch E
Darning with the elastic stitch is especially
suitable for repairing damaged areas.
• Sew over the damaged area in rows until it is well covered. Take care to ensure
that the rows overlap.
42
Sewing on patches
To cover larger holes well, it is necessary to sew a new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area.
• Baste the new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area of the face side of the
fabric.
• Sew over the fabric edges with the elastic stitch.
• Trim the damaged area back to the
seam from the reverse side of the fabric.
Tip: To simplify turning the corners of
the patch, turn the handwheel until the
needle is in the fabric. Raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric.
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Repairing tears
On tears, frayed edges or small holes it
is useful to lay a piece of fabric under the
reverse side of the fabric. The underlaid
fabric reinforces the workpiece and ensures you a perfect repair.
• Lay a piece of fabric underneath the
material. It must always be a little larger
than the damaged area.
• Sew over the damaged area in accordance with the size of the tear.
• Trim the underlaid piece of fabric back
to the seam.

Sewing in zippers
There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts we recommend inserting
a centered zipper. For men·s or ladies·
pants (trousers), a lapped zipper works
best. Different types of zippers are available in retail stores: invisible, metal, plastic,
jeans and outerwear to name a few. We
recommend metal zippers for heavier fabrics such as jeans. For all other materials
a plastic zipper will work well and create a
softer À nish to your completed garment.
For all types of zippers it is important
to sew close to the
teeth of the zipper.
The zipper foot can
be engaged in the
foot holder to the
left or right, depending on the method
of insertion. If the foot is attached on the
left, you can also use the needle position
“left” (c.f. page 27).
Inserting centered zippers
(concealed on both sides)
• Attach the zipper foot to the right side.
• Baste or pin the zipper in place and
position it under the presser foot so
that the teeth run along the side of the
presser foot.
• Sew in half of the zipper, leaving the
needle in the material. Raise the presser foot and close the zipper.
• You can now sew the rest of the seam
to the end of the zipper and stitch the
cross-wise seam.
44
• Sew the second half of the zipper parallel, the same distance from the center
seam as the À rst half.
• Stop shortly before the end of the seam
and leave the needle in the material.
Raise the presser foot and open the
zipper.
• You will now be able to complete the
seam.
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Trouser zippers
• Press the left front seam allowance
over 1/8ß (4 mm) narrower than the actual seam allowance.
• Baste the zipper under the overlapping
edge so that the teeth are still visible.
• Engage the zipper foot on the right and
set the needle to the required position.
• Stitch close to the edge of the zipper
teeth.
• Shortly before the end of the seam,
open the zipper and À nish sewing the
seam.
• Close the zipper and baste the overlap
evenly onto the other zipper half.
• Stitch along the basted seam.
Tip: To achieve accurate seams we rec-
ommend using the edge guide (special
accessories).
45
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Roll hemming
With the roll hemmer (special accessories) you can À nish the edge of blouses,
scarves, or rufÁ es without having to iron
the edges beforehand. Hemming prevents
the edges from fraying and produces a
neat and durable edge À nish.
• Double-fold the fabric edge
(about 1/8ß/2mm per fold).
• Place the folded fabric edge under the
hemmer and sew a few straight stitches
B, stitch length 2.5-3 mm, to secure.
• Leave the needle in the fabric, raise the
presser foot and insert the fabric into
the hemmer foot scroll.
• Lower the presser foot and while sewing, guide the fabric edge evenly into
the hemmer. Ensure the fabric does
not run underneath the right side of the
presser foot.
46
Tip: On silk, viscose and chiffon fab-
rics, the roll hem is particularly attractive with a zigzag stitch.
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Lace-work
Lace inserts
A beautiful heirloom effect can be
achieved on christening wear, children·s
clothes and other garments with lace inserts.
• Baste the lace to the face side of the
fabric.
• Stitch very close to both edges of the
lace using straight stitch.
• Carefully slit the fabric behind the lace
at the center. Press these edges towards the garment.
• Overstitch both edges of the lace with a
small zigzag stitch.
• Cut away the excess fabric on the back
of your project.
Lace edges with corners
Tablecloths, napkins and clothing can all
be beautifully enhanced with lace trimmings.
• Serge/clean-À nish the fabric edges.
• Stitch the lace onto the face side of the
fabric up till the À rst corner.
• Fold over the corners and stitch them
diagonally.
• Continue until all edges are stitched.
47
Utility stitches and practical sewing
Shell edging
The shell edge is very effective for thin,
soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabric.
It is frequently used as an edge À nish on
undergarments.The higher the needle
thread tension, the deeper the shell edge
feed.
• Serge the fabric edge and iron over the
seam allowance.
• Make sure that the fabric runs under
the presser foot at half of the foot width.
This provides a more prominent shell
edging effect.
Tip: If you add a colored pearl cotton
thread at the edge you can strengthen
the shell edging and obtain a pretty
contrast at the same time. Instead of
pearl cotton thread you can also place
a different colored light fabric underneath.

This very artistic form of bar and eyelet
embroidery is easy to create with your
sewing machine.
• Transfer your pattern onto the right side
of the fabric using a fabric marker.
• Place two layers of water-soluble stabi-
lizer under the area to be embroidered
and tightly hoop the fabric and stabilizer.
• Attach foot number 0 to your machine.
• To make the embroidery more stable,
sew all of the contours twice using the
straight stitch (stitch length approx. 1
mm).
• Carefully cut away the fabric from the
areas that will form the cutouts approximately 1/8ß (2 mm) from stitching. Do not cut away the stabilizer – it helps
maintain the shape and stability of the
areas while
sewing.
• Embroider the contours with a satin
stitch zigzag.
• When all satin stitching is completed,
tear away large areas of water-soluble
stabilizer and dissolve remaining small
areas in water.
Combined Borders
(model 1042 only)
You can create borders of any width by
combining different embroidery programs.
Tip: Apply iron-on backing or other sta-
bilizer under the fabric.
Embroidering with the twin needle
(model 1042 only)
Additional embroidery effects can be
achieved using a twin needle. To avoid
needle breakage, the twin needle spacing must not exceed 2 mm and the stitch
width must not be greater than 3 mm. A
description of how to thread the twin needle is found on page 38.

Traditional embroidery techniques
Patchwork quilt
Quilting is a traditional hand sewing
technique. The method that the wives of
American settlers developed to make use
of material remnants has become a very
popular artistic hobby for many sewing
enthusiasts.
Patchwork quilts used to be sewn exclusively by hand. Nowadays, however, you
have the possibility to make your creative
ideas a reality in a much shorter time.
A quilt always consists of three layers of
material. Lots of geometrically shaped
pieces of material are joined together in
continually changing patterns to form the
top layer of the quilt. This is tacked onto
the middle layer of polyester or cotton batting and connected to the back layer of
the quilt. The quilt backing is usually one
uniform piece of fabric.
And this is what you do
• Cut out the pieces of your quilt top using templates you have bought or made
yourself. A seam allowance of 1/4ß (6.3
mm) should already be included in the
templates.
• Spread these pieces out in front of you
in accordance with the pattern and form
small squares which you can then put
together. These squares will then be
sewn together and will form the top ply
of the quilt.
• The seam allowances of quilts are usually not serged and are always pressed
towards the darker fabric side.
• Baste the completed quilt top to the
batting and backing. In traditional quilts
these three layers of material are then
sewn together by hand with small stitches. However, it is quicker and more
practical with the sewing machine, i.e.
with the straight stitch. Quilting is usually stitched about 3 mm away from the
seam. Use foot number 0 or the quilt
and patchwork foot (see page 58).
When the quilting is À nished you can
simply bind the edges or make it into
cushions, wearable art or other smaller
projects.
51
Traditional embroidery techniques
Hemstitching
Hemstitching is an old embroidery technique and can be used to secure edges
on table linen as well as for decoration
on clothing. For your hemstitching work
you will require a wing needle (special
accessory) and coarse linen out of which
you can easily pull the single threads.
Furthermore, embroidery and darning
thread is particularly suitable. With the
stretch zigzag stitch you can sew various
hemstitching techniques such as the wale
hemstitch seam, a hem sewn with the
hemstitch and a hemstitch seam as an
edge. Use the normal presser foot (0).
Wale hemstitch seam
• As with the hand hemstitch seam the
threads are pulled out to the desired
width.
• Using a narrow stretch zigzag stitch,
sew along both of the fabric edges. The
needle must perforate the area of the
pulled threads just next to the edges.
This bundles the threads.
Hem edge sewn with hemstitch seam
• Iron the hem over twice and pull one or
more threads out from above the hem.
• Using the stretch zigzag stitch, sew
the hem from the face side. The needle must perforate the hem on the
right hand side and bundle the pulled
threads on the left hand side.
Hemstitching seam as edge
This edge is used for very À ne, thin mate-
rials. It is particularly suitable for valances
and rufÁ es. No threads have to be pulled.
• Using the stretch zigzag stitch, sew at
a presser foot·s width along the edge of
the fabric.
• Using a small pair of scissors, trim
off the excess fabric on the hemstitch
edge.

Bias tape binder
Binding with bias tape is a very easy
method of giving fabric edges a smooth
and neat appearance. For this you need
unfolded bias tape about 1ß (24 mm) wide.
• Remove the presser foot and holder. Attach the bias binder.
• Cut the beginning of the bias tape at a
diagonal.
• Feed the tape into the scroll of the
binder and pull out to the back.
• Adjust the binder and/or the needle
position so that the needle pierces the
fabric approximately 1/16ß (1-1.5 mm)
from the folded edge of the bias tape.
• Stitch about 1ß (2.5 cm) along the bias
tape.
• Insert the edge of the fabric to be bound
between the bias tape edges into the
slot of the binder. The bias tape will enclose the raw edge automatically during
sewing.
Tip: You can obtain an additional decorative effect by using a zigzag or fancy
stitch.
RufÁ er
With the rufÁ er you can make closely or
widely spaced pleats automatically while
sewing. This is very useful for rufÁ es, frills,
home textiles, etc.
The rufÁ er can be used in three different
ways:
1. Folding and securing pleats in fabric.
2. Folding pleats in fabric and securing to
a second fabric in one operation.
3. Folding pleats in fabric, attaching lace
and securing to another fabric in one
operation.
When you buy the rufÁ er from your
PFAFF dealer, full operating instructions
are included.
56
Accessories and needles
Felling foot
Flat felled seams are particularly strong
and are commonly known as jeans
seams. Seams on sportswear and children·s wear, blouses and shirts are more
durable with this technique. You can make
these seams particularly decorative by using a sewing thread of a contrasting color.
The felling foot is available in two different
widths.
• Attach the felling foot to the presser foot
holder.
• Place the fabrics wrong sides together.
• Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply
by about 3/8ß to 5/8ß (1-1.5 cm).
• Place this overlapping edge over the
tongue of the felling foot. The fabric
must be placed fully under the presser
foot.
• Sew along the folded edge with a
straight stitch (stitch length 2.5-3 mm).
• Separate the fabric and feed the protruding hem into the felling foot. The
hem is turned over by the foot and is
overstitched along the edge. Pull the
two fabric layers taut during sewing.
Cording foot
Cording is a technique in which pearl
thread or a À ne cord is overstitched to
produce a purl seam. With this you can
obtain an effect similar to braiding. Appliqués can also be made more effective
with this seam.
• Attach the cording foot.
• Place the pearl thread in the foot so it
leads through one of the grooves at the
front and lies under the presser foot at
the back.
• Select a narrow satin zigzag stitch.
Model 1022, 1032: Select stitch D with
the pattern adjustment button (9) and then
the zigzag stitch in the required width. Set
stitch length to “buttonhole”.
Model 1042: Select stitch D with the
pattern adjustment button (9). Set stitch
length to “buttonhole” and stitch width to
“2”.
• Overstitch the pearl thread with a narrow satin zigzag stitch. This produces
what is known as the purl seam.
Tip: You can also obtain a remarkable
effect by overstitching a medium pearl
thread with a thread of a different color.
57
Accessories and needles
Knit-edge foot
As the knit-edge foot has a presser foot
sole of varying height, thick knitted fabrics
can be sewn with ease. To do so select
the open or the closed overlock stitch
(models 1032 and 1042) or the zigzag
stitch. In order to obtain a perfect seam
on knit fabrics, we recommend oversewing a wool thread, pulled slightly taut, into
the seam. This will give the seam additional strength and keep it from stretching
out of shape.
Quilt and patchwork foot
The quilt and patchwork foot allows you
to sew accurate 1/4 or 1/8ß seams. The
distance from the needle to the outer right
edge of the foot is 1/4ß (0.63 cm) and to
the inner right edge 1/8ß (0.31 cm).
Patching
• Attach the quilt and patchwork foot.
• Sew together your pieces of fabric with
the straight stitch. For a seam allowance of 1/4ß, guide your fabric along the
outer right edge of the foot. For a seam
allowance of 1/8ß, guide your fabric
along the inner right edge of the foot.
Quilting
(Sewing through the top layer, Á eece layer
and bottom layer of the quilt)
• Sew the three layers of the quilt (e.g.
with the straight stitch) approx. 3 mm
from the seam line.
