 General notes on how the Pfaff creative 2170 

works

In your sewing machine there are two tools to help you while you are 

sewing; the creative Assistant and the Machine Assistant.

 Creative Assistant

In your Pfaff creative 2170 there is a creative Assistant function (A) 

that gives you information on how to use the machine. If you press the 

creative Assistant while you are on the Main menu you will get general 

information about the machine. If you touch the icon within a stitch, 

the direct help function is launched. It provides you with information 

about what foot to use etc.

 Machine Assistant

When you are in the creative Assistant you can reach the Machine 

Assistant function by pressing the Machine Assistant icon (B). The 

Machine Assistant gives you information on how to use the machine. 

You can choose from two menus; Sewing and Embroidery. You can 

among other things, fi nd instructions on how to thread the needle, 

wind a bobbin, change the presser foot, change the light bulb, and fi t 

the embroidery hoop to the machine.

When closing the creative Assistant press the (C) icon. The toolbar will 

change color and the buttons will change to the normal toolbar.
