Select the twin needle gauge and the size of the filler cord to suit the type of material used. Lace the filler cord through hole g, as illus trated. Hold both needle threads lightly and rotate the balance wheel to draw up the bobbin thread. The smallest distance between cording seams made with the ordinary sewing foot is abt. V4 inch. For narrower cording, use one of the cording feet listed below. To make different size cording, the follow ing twin needles and cording feet can be supplied at extra cost. Twin needles for needle distances of 1.2 (/64 ), 1.6 (1/io ), 1.8, 2.0 (I64 ), 2.5 (I32 ), 3.0 and 4.0 (/32 ) mm.

The hemstitching effect is produced by the left wing needle penetrating the fabric. Turn the fabric by half a turn and sew the second seam, guiding the material so that the wing needle enters the needle holes it has made in the fabric previously. You can produce a nice hemstitchin along the hemmed edge of the fabric by guiding the material so that the right needle stitches into the fabric close to the hem. 9 effect

Soft and flimsy fabrics are best overcast with a zigzag stitch of medium width. Make sure the needle takes one stitch into the fabric and the other over its edge. This will cover the fabric edge securely. 26

To remove them, pull a narrow fabric strip between the tension discs. The Pfaff rotary hook will not normally jam even if the machine should be handled improperly. If thread should happen to jam in the hook raceway, it is sufficient to put a drop of oil into the raceway, jer the balance wheel back and then rock it back and forth, without applying force. 39
