tension is too tight.
EWELLLU The thread tension must be corrected.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread
should be visible on the underside of the fabric.

The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)

(Model 2024)
For sewing any fabric precisely PFAFF provides the ideal
solution: the Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on
industrial machines, the IDT feeds the fabric from the
top and bottom at the same time. The material is fed
precisely. On light fabrics such as silk or rayon the dual
feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding
action also ensures perfect matching of checked and
striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt projects
aligned to prevent stretching of the top layers.

Decorative stitches can vary on different fabric types —
heavy fabric is fed differently than fine silk. The balance

adjusts the reverse feed of the stitch so it is sewn in the
best way for different fabrics.
After having selected a stitch, you will see the balance
symbol with a 0 after it in the bottom right-hand corner
of the window. This symbol indicates that the balance
can be altered on this stitch.
The standard balance setting is 0.

With -1+ button C you can change the reverse feed of the
machine from -9 to (÷)9.

thus the overall length will be sewn shorter.
In the plus range the stitches are sewn longer or

Overlock stitches
For elastic, knits and stretch fabrics, your Expression provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches join multiple
layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches have built-in stretch and are more durable than standard
stitches.
Tip: Use blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of
the seam at wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right-hand swing of the
needle clears the raw edge of the fabric and the pin of the presser foot.

Buttonholes
Your Expression has the perfect buttonhole for every fabric
and garment. Whether you wish to sew buttonholes on
jackets, pants (trousers), blouses or stretch fabrics, 2
different buttonholes (1 for 2014) give your garments the
professional touch.
Insert the buttonhole guide to support the feed motion of the
fabric. Place the fabric between the buttonhole foot and the
guide. This ensures that the guide moves, rather than the
fabric itself, guaranteeing an even feed motion. Buttonholes
can thus be sewn even in difficult materials, such as plush
velvet, knitwear or thick woollens,
The buttonhole guide ensures that perfect buttonholes can
be sewn on even the most difficult of fabrics such as velvet,
plush, knitted fabrics and heavy knits.
Your Expression offers you three ways of sewing a
buttonhole:
• fully automatically
• semi-automatically
• manual

Buttonhole with gimp thread

Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are
more
durable and will not stretch. Use pearl cotton
or a regular
gimp thread approximately the same color as the
sewing
thread to stitch over. Place the center of a length
of gimp
thread over the metal bar extending from the center,
back of
the buttonhole foot. Pass the thread ends under the
foot and
pull up into the right and left guides on the clamp
at the front
of the presser foot. Buttonhole No. 9 can now be
sewn.
After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of the

gimp
thread until the loop of thread is hidden below the button
hole
bartack. Cut off the gimp threads just behind the final
bartack.
Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread

Place the center of a length of gimp thread over the metal
bar extending from the center, front of the buttonhole foot.
Pass the thread ends under the foot and pull up into
the right
and left guides on the clamp at the back of the presser
foot.
Guide the gimp thread along the foot at the side.
Sew the right-hand seam of the buttonhole. After the
machine sews the first few stitches of the curved end pull
the
gimp thread down from the clamp with a straight pin.
Warning: The presser foot must not be raised from the

fabric
surface.
Pull the gimp thread on the left towards the rear until
the
loop is just in front of the needle. Carefully sew the curve.
After sewing the curve, hold the gimp thread a little more
taut and finish sewing the buttonhole. Cut off the excess
gimp thread.

Buttonhole tips:
• A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on
heavy fabrics.
• Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be
sewn very close to a reinforced edge.
• Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced
with watersoluble. tissue paper or other lightweight
stabilizer.
• Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable
if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see Keyhole
buttonhole with gimp thread).
• Linen buttonholes are particularly dense and attractive if
you use buttonhole twist thread.
• Buttonholes are normally selected a little larger than the
button diameter. It is important to always sew a test
buttonhole on the same fabric/stabilizer as your project

General notes on decorative sewing
To enhance your own home textiles or garments your
Expression offers you a wide variety of fancy and decora
tive
stitches. Create a greater variety of embellishments
by
combining different patterns, colors and sizes. Use
specialty
decorative threads to enhance the lovely stitching.
Always use stabilizers under fabric when sewing decora
tive
stitches. Properly stabilizing your fabric will help eliminate
distortion of your decorative stitches.
The following recommendations apply to all decorative
sewing:
The stitch length and width can be altered as desired.
Lower the upper thread tension to between 2-3. Adjust as
needed so bobbin thread does not pull to the top side of your
m
project. Your embroidery results will be much prettier if your
tension is properly adjusted.
Presser foot No. 1 (for dual feed) and No. 2 (without dual
feed) are most suitable for decorative work. We recommend
.co
presser foot. No. 2 for heavier fabrics.

Combined Borders
Create borders of any width by combining different
decorative stitches. Rayon embroidery threads give shiny,
smooth stitching results and come in many colors and
weights.
The following example uses stitches from the 2024, but
you can as easily create beautiful borders with the stitches
available on the 2014.
Place stabilizer under fabric.
Mark the center of your fabric with a fabric marking pen!
pencil. Sew stitch 43; stitch width 6 mm along your line. Next
press the ‘Pattern mirror button” (30). Position your fabric
even with the top of the first row of stitching. Sew the second
row of stitching directly across from the first.
Sew stitch 3; stitch density 0.2 mm and stitch 45 along
each side of your center embroidery. Your completed border
should now have six rows of decorative stitching.
4••*4i44
Twin needle
Additional decorative effects can be achieved using a twin
needle. The illustration shows what beautiful borders can be
‘WVMAMWvv’VWAfVW\J created with just a little imagination!
Note: DO NOT use a twin needle when the warning symbol
appears in the window (see page 39).

Free motion monograms
Use stitch 3 (stitch width 3-6 mm) to create
wonderful
monogram initials of your own design.
Transfer the initials with a fabric marker
to the area to be
embroidered.
Attach the darning foot (special accessory
2014) and bring it
into the darning position (see page 51).
Lower the feed dog.
Place a tear-away stabilizer under your fabric.
Then place
a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on the right
side of the
fabric. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop
and use the
zigzag stitch, in varying widths, to follow your
traced lines.
Do not forget to use the darning position.
Knot the threads on the back of your project
and remove
the stabilizers. The remaining water-soluble
stabilizer will
dissolve in water.
TIP: Sewing at a medium to fast speed will allow
you to
move the fabric more slowly and give you
more control
of your free-motion monogram. A slightly faster
speed
will also give you more consistency in the
density of
your stitches. Practice on scrap fabric until
you are
comfortable with the free-motion technique.
Block capitals are a little easier to embroider.

Simply stitch
along the marked lines with stitch 3, stitch
width 3-6 mm and
stitch density 0.2 0.3 mm.
-
Apply stabilizer under the fabric and water-soluble

stabilizer
on the top of the fabric.

Tapering with the satin-stitch zigzag

With your Expression you also have the option of increasing
or decreasing the width of the zigzag stitch in 0.5 mm

This technique of adjusting the width of a zigzag seam is called
TAPERING. You can achieve great effects by adjusting
the size of a wide zigzag stitch.

Satin stitch mitered corners
Mitered corners (with an angle of 45°) can be achieved by
altering the width of the satin stitch zigzag while sewing.
• Select zigzag stitch 12 (right needle position).
• Set stitch width to 6 mm, stitch length to 0.2-0.3 mm.
• Set the needle thread tension to 3.
• Satin stitch a single straight line.
• To miter the corner, lower the needle into the fabric on
the right side of the stitch, reduce the stitch width using
the -1+ button A (1) by 0.5 mm. Sew one stitch.
• Reduce the width again by 0.5 mm and sew one stitch.
Continue until the stitch width is reduced to 0.5 mm.
• Turn the handwheel towards yourself until the needle
pierces the fabric in the right-hand position. Turn the
fabric 90° and sew one stitch.
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Sew one stitch.
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm again and sew one stitch.
Continue until the starting width is reached.
• Continue embroidering a straight line at the 6.0 mm
width.
If the corner is to run in the opposite direction, work with
the left-hand needle position (stitch 12 and ‘Pattern mirror
button (30)).
Decorative buttonhole
This buttonhole is an attractive variation of the classic linen
buttonhole.
Since you determine the seam width yourself the buttonhole
can be up to 12mm wide.
• Set stitch No. 3, stitch width 3 mm, stitch length 0.2 mm.
• Set needle thread tension at 3.
• Sew two seams 1 mm apart the length of desired
buttonhole.
• Select stitch No. 12 and stitch over the two ends with
a triangle.
• Using -1+ button A (1). alter the stitch width gradually
from 0 mm to 3 mm and back to 0 mm during sewing.
The tip of the triangle should meet in the middle of the
two seams.

Patchwork quilt
Patchwork and quilting are traditional handicraft
techniques which were originally used by North
American pioneer women to make use of left
over fabric. Over the years it has developed into
a creative hobby.
A patchwork quilt consists of three layers of
fabric, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting
sandwiched between. Many pieces of fabric are
joined together in patterns to form the top layer
of the quilt. This is tacked to a middle layer of
polyester or cotton batting and a backing layer.
The quilt and patchwork foot (special accessory)
is particularly helpful for sewing patchwork and
quilting. The distance of the needle to the outer
edge of the foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and 1/8 inch
(3 mm) to the inner edge).
In traditional quilting the three layers are joined
together with small hand stitches to create
beautiful family heirlooms. The sewing machine
makes accomplishing this technique much easier
and faster! The Expression 2024 and 2014 have
quilt stitch No. 11, which enables you to quickly
and easily achieve a hand-quilted look! Use
invisible sewing thread (nylon monofilament) as
the needle thread and wind the bobbin with
cotton thread to contrast or blend with the colors
of your quilt top. The needle thread tension must
be set quite tight (7), and the bobbin thread tension quite loose (approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise) to allow the
needle
thread to pull the bobbin thread to the top of your quilt. When you sew the stitch on the three layers of fabric of the
quilt you
only see the triple stitch of the bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and thus appears to be hand-quilted
.
Quilt stitch—li and 19

Quilt stitch 11 and 19 enable you to achieve a wonderful
hand-quilted look.
Stitch 11 works equally well for topstitching on jackets and
overcoats. Combining the quilt stitch with other decorative
stitches can create unique new patterns.

And this is how it’s done:

Cut the pieces necessary for your quilt top, making sure
• to include a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6 mm).
• Sew the pieces together as required by the block
— chosen. These squares will then be sewn together and
will form the top of the quilt.
•
Baste the finished top of the quilt onto the batting and
the bottom quilt layer.
Use your Expression to sew all layers together. Work
1 from the center of the quilt out. Use a straight stitch for
long seams.

Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques
Hemstitching
This is a technique everyone recognizes but was
—
previously only embroidered by hand! With your Expression

you can produce hemstitching much quicker and easier.
Special hemstitches No. 22 and 23 for 2024, and No. 18
for 2014, are built into your machine. By changing the
stitch length and width you can achieve different effects.
Use a wing needle for hemstitching. (A normal needle is
only used for very light fabrics size 80.) Hemstitching
—
is most successful on woven natural fabrics from which

single threads can be easily pulled. Embroidery and darning
thread, particularly cotton, are very suitable. With the
hemstitches on your Expression, various techniques can be
applied.
Traditional hemstitching
• Use stitches No. 22 and 23 for 2024, and No. 18 for
2014, to create lovely hemstitched holes.
• Sew the appropriate program on a piece of test fabric.
For pulled thread hemstitching:
• Count the threads of the fabric within the area of the
sewn pattern. Adjust the pattern width so the needle is
not piercing a thread to be pulled, but falling to the side
of the threads of your fabric. This will allow you to easily
remove the threads within the pattern area.
• Pull 1 3 threads out of the material to the right and left
-
of the pattern.
• Overstitch the remaining threads with the selected
program. The needle must enter the pulled threads on
both sides close to the edges.
