  Thread tension compensation
If you À nd that the thread tension needs to 
be increased or decreased for most stitches or 
embroideries, you can change the general setting 
for embroidering and/or sewing. You may need to 
adjust the thread tension controls if you regularly 
sew or embroider on special fabric or use specialty 
threads.
Touch Thread tension compensation. Adjust the 
slider bars to generally increase or decrease the 
thread tension for all stitches and/or embroidery. 
Default setting is normal.
Once you have increased or decreased the value in 
the Settings menu, the thread tension control icon 
will change to green.
Note: Contact you authorized PFAFF® dealer if you 
experience thread tension problems that cannot be helped 
with the Thread tension compensation.
 Dynamic spring foot 6D for embroidery
When embroidering, activate the ”Dynamic Spring 
foot 6D for embroidery” function when using the 
optional Dynamic Spring foot 6D (part number 
820991-096, available at your authorized PFAFF® 
Dealer).
When another type of foot is used, e.g. presser 
foot 6A, deactivate Dynamic Spring foot 6D for 
embroidery in the Settings menu.
 Presser foot pressure
In most cases, you do not need to adjust the presser 
foot pressure. Specialty techniques may require 
an adjustment. The higher the number the more 
pressure on the fabric.
 
Presser foot height embroidery
Adjust the height of the presser foot in Embroidery 
stitch-out mode. Use the + and - icons to either raise 
or lower the height of the presser foot.
Some embroideries may build up under the presser 
foot. If there is not enough space between the 
presser foot and the embroidery, the top thread will 
form loops on the underside of the embroidery. 
Increase the presser foot height in small steps until 
the embroidery moves freely under the presser foot.
Note: Because the Dynamic spring foot 6D (optional 
820991-096) measures the fabric thickness, the option to 
adjust presser foot height in embroidery is only available 
if Dynamic spring foot 6D for embroidery is deselected.
Once you have increased or decreased the 
value in the Settings menu, the thread 
tension control icon will change to green.
