11 Adjustment
The illustrations in this chapter show the single-needle machine,
PFAFF 1525-900/81. For the two-needle machine, PFAFF 1526, various
adjustments have to be made twice, i.e. on the left- and right-hand sewing
hooks. This is pointed out in the chapters concerned, and some of the
illustrations have to be regarded in reverse.
