Pfaff 238-0 User Manual

The appearance of the finished seam Is dependent on the correct relationship between
needle, thread and fabric.
Lightweight fabrics should be sewn with a thin needle in order to prevent ugly needle
marks.
When thick thread is used in a thin needle, the thread is likely to break. Thin thread
used in a thick needle may cause skipping of stitches.
Select the proper needle and thread sizes from the chart below:
Never use rusty needles.
Only the exceptional quality of the needle finish ensures trouble-free sewing and pre
vents thread breaking. When operating at the high speed of the Pfaff 238, a rough-
surfaced needle will overheat quickly and burn the thread. This is particularly true of
synthetic threads which are very sensitive to heat and fuse easily.
If an ordinary needle should overheat when sewing resistant materials or stitching long
seams, we recommend that you use a superfinished, chromium-plated System 134 needle
which may be obtained from us.
