to
tell
you
about
all the
wonderful
things
you
can
create
with it.
We
suggest
that

thumb
through
the
booklet
first
and then open
it
at pages
2 and
3, where
the
most
essential parts
of
your
machine
are
illustrated.
By
identifying
these
parts
on
your
machine,
you
will
quickly
familiarize
yourself
with your
Pfaff.
We
recommend that
you
study
these
sewing

carefully,
and
hope that
sewing
with your
Pfaff will
always be
a
pleasure.

a
seam:
an

These
two
threads
are
locked
together
in
the middle
of
the fabric to
form
a
lock
stitch.
The
seam
produced
in
this
way
is

The
Ultra-Matic
stitch
selector
sets
your ma
chine
for
straight
and
zigzag
stitching.
The
different
stitch
ranges
are marked
by
numbers.
For
instance,
the
range
from 0
to
4
comprises
straight
stitches
of
different
lengths.
Turn
the outer
ring of
the
stitch
se
lector
until
the
symbol
of
the stitch
desired
is
opposite
the
white
mark.
In the illustration
on
the
left,
the
stitch
selector
is
set
for
sewing
straight
stitches
about
2
mm
long
(about
12
stitches
per
inch).
Start
by
making
a
sewing
test. Press
the
foot
control
pedal. and
watch
your
machine
sew
a
straight-stitch
seam.
Then let
your
Pfaff
run
at
different
speeds.
The
harder
you
press the
foot control pedal,
the
faster
your
machine
will run.
Now
try
a
zigzag stitch.
Zigzag
stitches
are
shown
on
the
Ultra-Matic
stitch
selector
in
the
stitch
ranges
marked
5. 6, 7,
8
and
9.
The
zigzag
stitch desired
is
dialed just as
easily
as
a
straight
stitch.
The stitch
lengths
are
symbolized
on the
Ultra-Matic
stitch
selector
by
appropriate
markings
(see
ill.
on the
left).
The
setting
of
the stitch
selector
is
indicated
for
every
sewing
operation
discussed.
This
simplifies
the operation
of
your
machine.
In
the
illustation
on
this
page
the
