   Sensormatic  free-motion

Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-

motion mode for presser foot 6A. The feed dogs 

will lower automatically.
When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser 

foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold 

the fabric on the stitch plate while the stitch is 

being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot 

fl

 oats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric must 

be moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves 

up and down with the needle as you are stitching. 

Lowering the presser foot height will reduce the 

space between the presser foot and the fabric and 

eliminate the skipped stitches.

Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height 

too much. The fabric must still move freely under the 

presser foot.

To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic 

free-motion mode, long touch the icon (D) and 

make adjustments in the pop-up.

Note: Make sure that the IDT is disengaged.

   Spring foot free-motion

Activate to set the machine in Spring foot 

free-motion mode. The feed dogs will lower 

automatically. A spring foot will raise and lower 

with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch 

plate while the stitch is being formed.

Note: Make sure that the IDT is disengaged.
The open-toe free-motion feet are optional and can be 

purchased at your local authorized PFAFF® dealer. Do 

not use if Sensormatic free-motion is activated, since the 

needle might damage the presser foot.
The open-toe free-motion feet, or any spring foot 

with light grey plastic housing, can also be used for 

embroidery.

Presser foot pressure (E)

In most cases, you do not need to adjust the presser 

foot pressure. Specialty techniques may require 

an adjustment. The higher the number the more 

pressure on the fabric.

  Presser foot height embroidery (F)

Adjust the height of the presser foot in embroidery 

stitch-out mode.
Some embroideries may build up under the 

presser foot. If there is not enough space between 

the presser foot and the embroidery, the top 

thread will form loops on the underside of the 

embroidery. Increase the presser foot height in 

small steps until the embroidery moves freely 

under the presser foot.
