Sewing
Free-Motion Options
All stitches on your machine can be sewn in free-motion
to create fantastic effects. Touch Free-Motion to open a
window where you can select between three different
Free-Motion Options. For all free-motion sewing the
Feed Dogs will lower automatically and the fabric must
be moved manually.
Touch Free-Motion to close the Free-Motion Options
window. Your settings are shown under Active features
in the Information Area.
Note: Make sure that the IDT™ system is disengaged.
Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion
Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion
Activate to set the machine in Dynamic Spring Foot
Free-Motion mode for the Dynamic Spring Foot 6D
Free-Motion. The Dynamic Spring Foot measures the
fabric thickness and will raise and lower with each stitch
to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is
being formed.
Note: The Dynamic Spring Foot 6D is recommended for use
with straight stitch. Activate Stitch Width Safety in Settings.
Spring Foot Free-Motion
Activate to set the machine in Spring Foot Free-Motion
mode for optional spring feet. A spring foot will raise
and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the
needle plate while the stitch is being formed.
Note: Optional spring feet can be purchased at your local
authorized PFAFF® dealer.
Do not use a spring foot if Sensormatic Free-Motion
is activated, since the needle might damage the
presser foot.
Sensormatic Free-Motion
Sensormatic Free-Motion Foot 6A
Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-motion
mode for presser foot 6A or some other sensormatic foot,
e.g yarn couching etc.
When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser foot
will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric
on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At
higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric
while sewing.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and
down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the
presser foot height will reduce the space between the
presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped
stitches.
To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic free-
motion mode, open the Free-Motion options window
