    How to fix thread loops on the underside of my Pfaff Creative Performance Sewing Machine embroidery?

      David CowanAug 25, 2025
      To resolve thread loops forming on the underside of your Pfaff Sewing Machine's embroidery design, increase the presser foot height in the Settings menu in small steps until the problem is solved. This issue may occur when the embroidery has built up too much to move freely under the presser foot.
