Decorative Sewing
Cross Stitch
No other sewing technique is as closely associated with the term
needlework as cross-stitching. With your Pfaff creative 2134 and the
cross stitches, no. 40-44 this traditional sewing technique can be created
remarkably easily and quickly. The pre-programmed cross stitches give
a hand sewn look and lend a distinctive character to table linens, towels
or clothes.
Tips for cross stitch sewing:
• Always work using the ”sew slow” and ”needle up/down” func-
tions.
• Attach fancy stitch foot no. 2.
Free-motion sewing
With Free-motion Sewing you can create the most fantastic work. It is
possible to sew just as you would draw with a pencil, using the various
types of threads that are on the market today and your Pfaff creative
2134. You can also vary the shade of your Free-motion sewing by
sewing in different directions or patterns.
Top tension 2-3

Stitch Straight stitch/Zigzag
• Thread your machine with a good quality cotton or synthetic
thread. You can use the same thread for bobbin thread, or an
embroidery weight bobbin thread.
• Hoop your fabric tight as a drum into a round embroidery hoop.
You can use a wooden ring hoop wrapped with bias binding for a
better grip.
• Select either the straight stitch or the zigzag. From now on, you
control the stitch length. The movement of the hoop along with
the sewing speed creates the stitch length. Sewing too slowly may
cause small knots to appear on the reverse side of your work.
Important: Never engage the IDT when free-motion sewing.
Tip: Use the "Open toe free-motion foot" (optional accessory) for easier
viewing when stitching.
