EMBROIDERY TIPS
• Scissors: we advise using num. 80 thickness needles or less, we recommend A990311000 blue-shanked needles.
• Presser foot pressure: we recommend -2.
• Thread: Use special embroidery thread with 40 or 50 thickness.
• Avoid putting the thread cone on the spool pin; due to its weight, it may have a hard time properly pulling the thread.
• Avoid reducing the size of the embroidery drawings and letters in the app itself. If you wish to modify the size, do so in a digitising programme.
• Use the fabric interlining to sew normal fabrics, and a special plastic to embroider towels or terry fabrics.
• To embroider knit and elastic fabrics, do not place the fabric directly on the hoop. Place an interlining very tightly on the hoop, use a temporary spray fixative, paste the fabric on top, properly stretched without wrinkles, and embroider.
- Hoop detector.
- Maximum embroidery speed 650 spm.

You are almost ready to get your Alfa machine, but you still have a few questions that need answering. We will try to provide a response to your concerns:
Will I know how to use it?
We are very familiar with this feeling. In our "I Want to Sew" section and in leading sewing blogs, you can find tutorials that will help you to better understand your machine. If you would like to delve into the world of sewing, you can contact our partner academies and enjoy your Alfa to its full potential. What's more, we are always in motion and organise weekly workshops in different locations, attend DIY fairs, and organise events at haute couture centres.
Will it last many years?
Over the past 100 years in history, four generations have now sewn with an Alfa. Today, we are proud to walk hand-in-hand with our customers advise them whenever they need us. Regarding old Alfa machines, for example, we strive to provide replacements. Moreover, in this section, we have over 200 old (and modern) machine manuals that we have collected, because many of you have inherited an Alfa and are still sewing with it. The truth is, there are beautiful stories behind every Alfa, and we love it when you share them with us by email and on social media.
If it breaks down, what should I do?
Contact us through this form. At our Eibar facilities (Gipuzkoa, Spain), we repair machines, provide assistance, and coordinate workshops around the country. This gives us awareness of problems and allows us to resolve them quickly.
