Sewing Basting program Basting is often used in dressmaking to join fabric layers quickly for fitting in order to be able to adjust the garment to the body. For that purpose you either sew long stitches with 6 mm stitch length or jump stitches with a length of about 2 cm. You can also apply markings to materials with long basting stitches stitched through the material to be used. This is preferable to using fabric markers in color, especially on light-colored fabrics or materials with a rough texture. Your Pfaff creative 2170 includes a basting program which can be selected with stitch no. This program can be used in two different ways and is linked to the engagement and disengagement of the feed dogs. If the feed dogs are disengaged, the sewing machine will only sew one stitch at a time. You have to touch the foot control every time you want the sewing machine to sew one stitch. This allows you to move the fabric every time so that you can determine the stitch length yourself. If you find that one of the columns are longer than the other you can change the balance of the buttonhole. You should change the buttonhole so that it looks like your sewed out sample. The machine will then correct the buttonhole automatically. Note: If you would like to sew a buttonhole longer than the 5A foot (50mm) you can sew without the sensormatic guide but with the 1A foot. To get a perfect result without the sensormatic guide it might be necessary to balance the buttonhole.
