Hi Laurie, I do have the designer unit which I will periodically take
out to play with. The advantage of the 7550's is that the line drawing
appears on the screen so the paper grid really isn't necessary. I have
drawn lots of variations and new stitches into the memory including a
serpentine, beading, hand-quilting, buttonhole variations, scribbles,
etc.

Thanks, Jennifer! I will check again. Does your 7550 have the design
thingy? I didn't get it with mine and thought I probably would never
need it.

=A0=A0Hi Laurie - I checked the listing in my owner's manual and it is
there as 'purl' stitch. Go to the page in your manual where there is a
chart with the stitches diagrammed and explained. I know that the stitch
is in the 7530 because when I traded up, I made sure the stitch was
'going' too! It looks something like l/l/l/l/l/ =A0 rather thanVVVVVVV
in the diagrams.

in my big owners manual and couldn't find the purl zigzag. Could it be
another name?

If you have the 7550, I know there is an Owner's Manual available for
that machine. You would just need to have your Pfaff dealer order it for
you. They are so helpful.

Thanks, I have the same machine so I will try to figure out which is the
purl zigzag. Do you know the stitch number off hand? Loren in Seattle

... Hi
Loren, I also sew with a Pfaff, mine is a 7550 model. While you are
learning 'new' things about your machine, I'd like to suggest that you
try using the purl zig zag stitch for applique work. I rarely use the
regular zig zag stitch anymore for - you'll find the purl stitich listed
with the overlock stitches. Jennifer in Ottawa

(EDT+4) From: (Loren in Seattle) I have a
Pfaff machine and I adore the integrated dual feed. Usually. Today,
after weeks of getting very frustrated doing some machine appliqu=E9, I
realized that it is much, much easier with the dual feed foot up. Much.
Too bad I figured this out near the end of the project. I always put the
dual feed up when I free motion quilt, so I don't know why I didn't
think of it when doing appliqu=E9. I guess it was because I wasn't
lowering the feed dogs and using a regular zig-zag foot. Now I know. The
other tip that has saved my life was from Diana in Dallas (thanks
Diana). Cheap typing paper for stabilizer. Off to finish this project,
now I am finally looking forward to it.
