Twin needle Pintucks
Twin needle Pintucks are created by placing a twin needle in your Pfaff
creative 2134. Mark the fi rst line of stitching with a fade away or wash
away fabric pen. Continue to mark lines or use one of the optional Pfaff
Pintuck feet to easily guide your rows where needed.
• Replace the standard sewing needle with a 2.0 mm twin needle. Set
your creative 2134 for normal Straight Stitch (1), stitch length 2.5
– 3.0, presser foot 2, IDT disengaged.
• Thread the top and bobbin with thread matching the color of fabric.
Use the extra spool pin for the second top spool. Remember to
place one top thread in one side of the tension disk and the other
thread on the other side of the tension disk.
• Sew along the fi rst line of stitching. Continue until all pintucks are
sewn.

Wing Needle
Sewing with a wing needle (a special needle with a wide, wing-like
shaft) creates the look of hemstitching in woven natural fi ber fabrics by
creating holes where the needle goes in and out of the fabric.
• Replace standard needle with a wing needle. Choose any stitch
that goes back and forth into the same holes several times (45-49).
Use the recommended presser foot for that stitch.
• Thread the top and bottom with lightweight thread in color that
matches the fabric you are using. (Remember you want to see the
holes that are created and not the thread.)
• Begin sewing. Use the sew slow button (49) to reduce your speed
while using the wing needle.
Tip : For fi ne fabrics, place a lightweight tear away stabilizer under
stitching.
Hemstitching
This is a technique everyone recognizes as embroidered by hand. With
your Pfaff creative 2134, you can produce hemstitching much more
quickly and easily. With fi ve special hemstitches and by changing the
stitch length and width, you can create a variety of hemstitch effects.
A wing needle (see above) is required for hemstitching work. When
entering the fabric the wing needle forms holes which are typical for
hemstitching. Hemstitching will be most successful on relatively coarse
linen and cotton fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled.
If you pull additional threads and sew along the edges close to the
threads you have pulled out, you will achieve even more beautiful
hemstitching effects as the remaining threads are bundled.
