Reverse sewing direction (only on the PFAFF 487), 489
As long as the reverse sewing key is pressed, the machine sews in reverse. For the pro-
gramming and learning functions, the relevant seam section is programmed "in reverse".
Bartack suppression
If the bartack function is activated, by pressing this key once the next bartack and by
pressing it twice the next two bartacks are not sewn.
Correction value + / correction value -
If this key is pressed, the fullness value is increased or reduced in 2 steps. Fullness va-
lue 0 is not corrected. To make this possible, a correction value different to 0 must be
entered in parameter 209.
Number keys 0 - 14
The previously allocated amount of fullness is called up by pressing a key.
When two neighbouring number keys are pressed simultaneously, the corresponding
average value is selected.
In the manual sewing mode, the fullness can be allocated to the individual keys. The
current fullness value (which can be set on the touch-screen) is allocated to a key if it is
pressed for a long time (>3s). A bleep signalizes that the value has been saved.
Following values are pre-set and can be altered as described above.
Key 0: No fullness will be applied.
Key 14: Maximum fullness is selected.
The fullness values are designed for a basic stitch length of 2.5 mm. When se-
wing with shorter stitch lengths, the gathering intensity is increased, with lon-
ger stitch lengths it is reduced accordingly.
