quicker the PFAFF needle threader is provided.
Lower the sewing foot (see next page). Take one
stitch to bring the needle to its highest position.
Place the needle thread under hook 0 and hold it
taut Move the threader (1 9) fully downwards and
turn it towards the needle so that the small hook R
goes through the needle eye. Place the thread into
the hook from the underside.
Turn the threader towards the rear, releasing the
thread carefully, and allow the threader to move
upwards. You can now pull the end of the thread
through the needle eye.

The built-in dual fabric feed (IDT system)
For sewing difficult materials PFAFF offers the ideal
built-in Dual Feed. The sSrne as on
industrial sewing machines, it feeds the fabric from
top and bottom at the same time. The fabric is
accurately. On light or difficult fabrics such as
silk and rayon fabrics the dual fabric feed prevents
seam pucker. The even feeding action also ensures
perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics
(see next page).

Setting the balance
Appearance and size of an embroidery pattern
depend on the material it is embroidered on — i.e.
wool is fed in a different way as silk. In order for
you to reach optimum embroidery pattern quality
the tiptronic is provided with a correction system
called balance to change the backwards feed. The
default setting of the balance is 0. When the upper
lamp of the balance slide key (9) has lit up, you
can alter the balance within a range from —7 to +7
The balance setting is shown in the upper display
line on the right
The more the slide key is pushed to the left the
shorter are the backwards stitches, i.e. the stitches
of the pattern are set less densely.
Any time a new program is selected the machine
adjusts itself to a specific default value for the
pattern length.
When the lower lamp of the balance slide key (9)
has lit up, you can adjust the desired pattern length

Explanation of the table for sewing
recommendations
Whenever a program is selected, the machine sets
a basic stitch length, stitch width and balance
automatically.
You can change these settings according to fabric
and sewing purpose using slide keys 7, 8 and 9.
In the following tables you will find the settings we
recommend for different sewing purposes.
These tables give you further information required
for sewing the selected programs:
The type of sewing foot you need, the needle
thread tension setting, and whether you should
sew with the Dual Feed engaged or disengaged.

stitch you have to press the foot control each time.
• Place the fabric under the sewing foot
• Sew one stitch, then pull the fabric to the rear by
the required amount
• Repeat this as many times as you need to finish
the work.
To prevent the fabric layers from shifting,
insert dress pins crosswise to the basting direction.
Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight

Some sewing jobs can be done easier by changing
the needle position, i.e. topstitching a collar or
sewing in a zipper. To change the needle position,
use Program 02. Before you change its position,
always make sure the needle is at its highest point

Zigzag stitch
Zigzag stitch 1 0 can he used for trouble-free
finishing of all edges. While finishing an edge,
always make sure the needle goes into the fabric
and over the edge alternately.
In Program 1 0 the width of the zigzag stitch
changes from the middle outwards. In Program 11
the needle position changes toward the left, and in
program 12 toward the right, i.e. the stitch width
can be regulated to one side, i.e. for eyelet em
broidery and cording work.
For finishing difficult fabrics, blind stitch foot No. 3
is very useful. During sewing, the thread lies over
pin C, thus preventing curling of the fabric edge. In
this way you can sew beautiful smooth seams.
The edge of the cutting has to be guided along
edge guide B. You can adjust this edge guide with
adjusting screw A.
Important: Only use the blind stitch foot in Pro
gram 11.
Programs 50 to 52 are zigzag stitches which can
be set particularly dense. Therefore they are well
suited for appliqué work,

Stretch triple straight stitch
A’
• 3-5 0/1
This program is used for sewing all seams where
great strength is needed, i.e. inside trouser seams
and sleeve seams. The heavier the fabric, the longer
the stitch length you need.
Program 06 can be lengthened up to 4.5 mm, and
Program 07 up to 6 mm. This is why Program 07
at the longest stitch length is suitable for fancy
topstitching edges or lapels on classic jackets and
coats.
TIP: It you wish to topstitch a collar edge with
Program 07, use the functions “needle down” and
“single pattern”. Do not press the single pattern key
until you reach the last stitch before the corner, the
machine will stop after the stitch, and the needle
stays in the material. Now turn the fabric; the
“single pattern” function switches itself off.

N
N
N
N
For knit and other stretch fabrics the tiptronic offers
a selection of overlock stitches. These join two
layers of fabric and finish them in one operation.
They have a high elasticity, are more durable, and
you can sew them fast, too.
TIP: When you sew overlock seams, we recom
mend you use blind stitch foot No. 3. It guides the
fabric better and prevents tunneling of the seam at
wider stitch widths.

Buttonholes
The tiptronic 6270 offers you different buttonhole
sewing programs to choose from.
Depending on the fabric and type of work, you can
choose between three different buttonhole pro
grams.
Buttonholes are generally sewn onto a piece of
doubled fabric. However, for some materials, i.e
silk, organza and rayon fabric, it is necessary to use
a paper backing to prevent the material from
tunneling during sewing.
To produce beautiful seams, good embroidery
threads are ideally suitable.
Mark the starting point of the buttonhole with a
disappearing-ink pen and always sew a sample
buttonhole first
64
Note: Before starting any buttonhole, always push
the guide of the buttonhole foot fully to the front,
i.e. so that the red arrow is at the first red mark.

On difficult fabrics such as silk it may happen that
the machine feeds differently and the buttonhole

With stored buttonholes you can correct this with
the help of the semiautomatic control. To define
the length of the second bartack yourself, press key

ButtonhoJe with gimp thread
To produce highly durable buttonholes, i.e.. for
sportswear, we recommend using a gimp thread.
For all stretchable fabrics, too, a gimp thread is very
important, in order to avoid overstretching of the
buttonhole.
• Place the gimp thread over the back ridge A and
pull the thread ends under the sewing foot to the
front
• Pull the threads in to the left and right of ridge B.
• Push the buttonhole slide fully forward, then sew
the buttonhole.
• Pull the loop of the girnp thread into the
buttonhole and cut off the loose thread ends.
Stretch buttonhole
Program 72 is very useful for sewing buttonholes
in stretchable materials, i.e. in jogging suits. It can
also he used for making decorative buttonholes,
i.e. in national costume blouses.
You can determine the length and width of the
buttonhole yourself.
• Push the butonhole slide fully to the front
• Sew the first buttonhole bead at the required
length.
• Press the buttonhole key (3). The machine now
sews the first bartack and the second bead.
Shortly before the second bartack the machine
automatically sews slower.
• As soon as the two buttonhole beads are the

secures it automatically.
The buttonhole length is now stored. All further
buttonholes are now sewn automatically at the

Needle thread tension Topstitching
In order to obtain perfect sewing results, the needle
and bobbin thread tensions must be correctly
adapted to each other. The normal setting for utility
stitches is 3 to 5.
Check the tension using a wide zigzag stitch. The
interlace of the two threads must lie in the middle
of the two fabric layers.
If the interlace lies on the top side of the fabric, this
means the needle thread tension is too tight If it
lies on the underside, the needle thread tension is
set too loose.
To adjust the bobbin thread tension please refer to
page 24.
With Program 02 you can change the needle
position so that you can always guide the sewing
foot along the fabric edge for topstitching work. If
you wish to topstitch at a wider width than this,
simply guide the fabric along the guide marks on
the needle plate, or use edge guide 8. The edge
guide is inserted into hole C and is secured with
screw F.
Sewing aid for thick seams
To ensure correct feeding at the beginning of the
seam we recommend placing a piece of fabric of
the same thickness as the workpiece under the
sewing foot to support it

Sewing hems with the twin needle
With the twin needle you can not only embroider,
but also make topstitch seams.
Using the twin needle you can lend a professional
touch to hems on stretch materials such as T-shirts,
knitted articles or cycling shorts both quickly and
easily. Twin needles are available in different
widths. The most common is 2.5 mm.
Threading the twin needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle.
• Push on the second spool holder and place a
spool on each holder.
• Tension disk C is inside the left-hand threading
slot (21). Make sure that one thread is guided
along the disk to the left and one thread to the
right
• First fold up hem allowance and press.
• Then stitch the hem from the right side of the
fabric.
• Finally, trim the overlapping hem edge back to
the seam.
TIP: On difficult fabrics such as rib knits it is easier
to baste the hem before topstitching.
• Continue to insert the threads in the normal way
making sure that the threads do not become
tangled.

Pull the threads to the right and to the left
through thread guide (20) and thread the

Gathering with straight stitch
With Program 00 at a stitch length of 6 mm you
can gather sleeves, skirts or valances. To obtain
neat and even gathers you should sew two or three
gathering seams.
• Mark the first line on the right side of the fabric
and stitch along it. Leave about four or five
inches of thread at the end.
a You can now stitch the other row at a sewingfoot
width away using the first one as a guide.
70
• Now gather the fabric by pulling the bottom
threads. You determine the amount of gather
yourself.
• Finally, knot the thread ends together to secure
the gather.

Gathering with elastic threads
athering sleeves or waist seams is no problem at
II with elastic threads. The elastic thread must not
a wound onto the bobbin.
Mark the first gathering row on the wrong side of
the fabric.
I Make a few staing stitches using Program 24,
then leave the needle down in the fabric. The
needle must be at the middle of the sewing foot.
Raise the sewing foot and place the elastic
thread around the needle.
Lower the sewing foot again and sew a few more
stitches, but do not pull the ends of the elastic
thread until these are sewn.
From then on you determine the amount of
gather by the amount you pull on the elastic
thread.
After sewing you can still change the amount of
gather by pulling both elastic threads.
Finally, knot the threads and the elastic.
7
TIP: The pintuck foot (special accessory) is also
ideal for gathering. The grooves in this foot guide
the elastic evenly during the sewing action.

With fine and light materials such as batiste, ruyon
or silk fabrics you can make beautiful shirring For
shirring with elastic thread you should use an
additional bobbin case and wind the elastic thread
oy hand. Since elastic threads are nucli thicker
than normal bobuin threads, the tension on tIre
bobbin case must be set very loose. However, the
tighter you set the bobbin thread tension the
greater the shirring effect you obtain.

• First sew a test row to determine the amount ci
gather.
• Mark the first ne on the right side of the fubi ic
and stitch along it.
• You can now stitch the ether row at e sewing
fool width away using the Iirst one as a urIc.
• If you sew several rows, one beside the other,
you have to stretch the fabric to its oi iginal
length during sewiilcj, otherwise the shining will
be irregular
• Knot the threads at beginning and end of the
seam on the reverse side.

Darning with straight stitch
Attach the darning foot:
Set the needle at its highest position and push tne
pin of the darning foot fully into hole C. When
you do this, guide fork G places itself around the
presser bar. Wire E must be behind set screw F.
Now tighten screw D.
Darning position:
Lower the presser bar lifter A and push it lightly to
the rear. This positions the presser bar lifter into
notch B (darning position).
• Place the darning work in the darning hoop.
• Lower the feed dog (see page 32).
• Draw up the bobbin thread and hold the threads
when you start sewing.
• Darn over the damaged area by moving the
fabric evenly in the required direction. When
doing so, move the fabric in shallow curves. This
prevents tearing of the darn Inter.
• When you have stitched evenly over the darning
area, turn the fabric 90 degrees and darn over
the damaged area again.
You determine the stitch length for this work
yourself by moving the fabric back and forth.
TIP: If small knots appear on the underside, this
means you have been moving the fabric too slowly.

There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts
we recommend inserting the zipper concealed on
• •: both sides, and for men’s or ladies slacks concea
led on one side. Difierent types of zippers are
avaiinble in shops and stores. For fir ii ateriels
such as jeans we recommend metal zippers, and
plastic zippers for all other materials.
For all types of zippers it is important to sew right
up close to the teeth of the zipper. This is why the
zipper foot can be attached to the foot mIner to
the left or right, aepending or toe n inthod of
insertion.
Using one of the 1 3 needle positions vot car also
set the needie so that it enters close to the edue of
the zipper teeth. It the sewing foot is engaged on
the right side, the needle position must only he
changed to the right. If the foot is attached left, the
needle must only be moved to the left
76
Inserting zippers conceaied on both sides
• Attach the zipper foot to the right side.
• Place the zipper Linder the sewing foot so that
the teeth run at the side of the root. Uninq
Program 02 fun can set the needie a’, tin’

• Sew in half of the zipper, leave the needle in the
fabric, raise the sewing foot and close the zipper
• Now you can sew the rest of the seam to the end
of the zipper and stitch the crosswise scan

• Sew the second half of the zipper parallel at the
same distance.
• Stop shortly before the end of the seam and
leave thu needle in the fabric. Raise the sewing
foot arid open the zipper.
• You can now sew to the end of the seam. N
Trouser zippers
• Iron the seam margin over, making sure there is
an overlap of about 1/8’.
• Baste the zipper under the overlapping edge so
that the teeth are still visible.
• Attach the zipper toot on the right and set the
needle at the required position.
• Stitch close along the edge of the zipper.
• Shortly before the end of the seanr open the
zipper and finish sewing the seam.

Embroidering with the twin needle
ou can achieve additional embroider-v effects by
using the twin needle. The illustrations show what
beautiful borders can be made with a little imaqi
nation.
Only use a twin needle with a width of 2.5 mm for
these embroidery designs.
Note:
As soon as embroidery programs are selected the
twin needle indicator (6) lights up. in this case do
not use the twin needle. If you reduce the stitch
width using the stitch width slide key (7), indicator
(6) will go out in some programs. Then an opti
mum stitch width has been set and ‘/011 can sew
the pattern using the twin needle.
Threading the twin needle
• Insert the twin needle.
• Attach tIre second spool holder and place one
spool of thread on each holder.
• In the left threading slot (21) you will find
tension disk C During threading. nial.e sure tl rat
YOLI pass one thread left and one tin end i iqht

Cross-stitch
No matter whether you embroider tapes as critts,
blouses or home decor, graphic border desiqns are
simple to make with the cross-stitch program of
the tiptronic, and they look as if they are sewn by
hand. Even if you have never done cross-stitch
work before, these borders can be made with on
problem at all. Since the program can be set at
different sizes, you can achieve different effects
with little effort.
• Place stabilizer under the linen border.
• Mark the pattern as shown in tire illustration with
tailoring chalk or disappear mg-ink pen, nncl
embroider it iii the desired color using Pioqiani
69. Press the “single pattern’ key at the end of
each pahlern,
• Pull the threads to the back and knot them
tog eti or.
TIP: The border embroidery on the wide border can
be clone with a wide cioss stitci i 81 to 5 nind and
on the i arrow border with o narrower ci oss-stitch

Embroidering leather
t’\/ith the tiptronic you can embroider leather with
no oroblem at all.
Since leather stretches easily, you should use an
iron-on backing or place two layers of stabilizer
under it, The stitch length should not be set too
short, because leather tears between stitcl holes
easily.
Embroidering leather can be made even easier by
using a Teflon sewing foot (special accessory). The
Teflon covering allows the foot to shoe easily over
the leather. Depending on the thickness of the
leather and thread, we recommend rising a special
needle or a needle with a large eye li 30 Nl.
Please note that needle penetration holes in leather
remain visible when ripping out tire thread.
Tins is the way to do it:
• Apply iron-on or tear-awn stabilizer as an
menacing.
• Embroider Program 62 (extended) over the
center of the belt.
• Sew the clots with program 64 (do not forget the
single pattern key).
• Attach tire cording foot and over-stitch the omp
thread with Proqram 50 (reduced in stitch width
and riensity)
• Finally, embroider the triangular border parallel To
the cordinci seam with Program 61 -
TIP: Leave enough space in the embroidery for the
eyelets which are punched m later.

Quilting

Pintuck foot

Pintuci’,
The classic pintuck sewing techniciue can be used
without any problems on fabrics such as cotton
and light woolens. Underclothing and children’s
wear can be given a tradrional look with ointucks.
• Attacb me pintuck foot
• Replace the needle with a twin needlo 1 .6 or
2 mm).
• Thread with two needle threads (see page 69).
• Now set the needle thread tension quite tight
(at about 5) to make the soarn more prominent.
TIP: If you wish to emphasize the pintuck effect,
you can fit a ‘cording blade” on the front edge 01
the needle plate. This shapes the fabric, during
sewing and gives the pintuck nor e volume.
110
You can obtain a similar effect by using a pimp
thread; this makes the pintuck look wirier
In this case, however, do riot use a cording blade.
• To do this, remove the needle plate
• Thread the gimp thread through the role of the
noodle plate from the underside.
• Replace the needle plate. Tire notch between the
needle plate and the Sewing machine provides
space for the gimp thread. TIns thread rirust be
fed under the needle plate, so that it does riot
become tangled during sewinq
• While sewing the pintuck, pull the fabric lightly.
• You can use the grooves in the pintucl foot to
guide the work along an already sewn pintrick.
This ensures that the distance between pintucks
is always constant.
TIP: There are two different prituck feet: a five-
groove and a seven groove toot (sec table on page
1 08>.
Wrtl i the seveni—qroove foot ti sn’wrr prntucks are

Changing the needle plate
-
It is very important to clean and oil the sewing
machine because it will reward you with a longer
service life. The more often you use the machine,
the more care it needs.
Removal:
Switch off the master switch
• Raise the sewing foot and remove the needle
plate.
• Push the point of a small screwdriver into the
opening between needle plate and sewing
macnine. Twist it lightly to the right and the
needle plate will snap halfway out of its moun—
ting. Now push the screwdriver underneath the
needle plate on the left side, turn it to the right
and take the entire needle plate oLit.
Replacing
• Place the needle plate on flat at the hack and
push it down with both hands at the front until
you hear it snap in place. Before you start
sewing, check that the needle plate is lying flat.
. - -
Cleaning and oHing
Switch off the master switch
