    PRODUCT FEATURES GENERAL TOOL BELT MATERIAL and FEATURES 5609 BALLISTIC POLYESTER Premium quality ballistic poly fabric is woven with elevated tenacity polyester thread in a 2x2 or 2x3 basket weave with yarn made of unusually high denier strength, typically from 840 denier to 1680 denier. Denier refers to the weight and thickness of the yarn, not TOOLS & SPECIALTY ITEMS TOOLS & SPECIALTY necessarily to the strength of the fabric. The 2x2 "ballistic weave" is extraordinarily strong and lightweight, and resists abrasion and tearing. Ballistic poly fabric is great for high-use and extreme work applications. Patented pouch handles Allow for simple belt adjustments and easy one-hand carrying, and convenient on-hook storage. Heavy-duty stitching and rivets Bar-tack stitching and rivets used to reduce additional wear and to reinforce stress points for added durability. MULTI-USE, EASY ACCESS POCKETS Large main pockets and small side and interior pockets, allow for the carrying of a wide variety of tools. GENERAL SOFT SIDE MATERIAL and FEATURES ECPL38 POLYESTER Quality polyester fabric is woven with thread that has been coated with a synthetic polymer in order to increase durability and fabric strength. Polyester is a versatile yarn and can easily be blended with other fibers to enhance specific properties that create materials with wear, and environmental resistance. Polyester fibers have high tenacity as well as low environmental absorption which makes it able to handle stressful usage and work environments.

  • Instruction Book
    INSTRUCTION BOOK PFAFF 130-6 Instruction book for the PFAFF Sewing Machine (Model 130) For best results, study these instructions carefully—par licularly those ports on the core of the machine. Before leoving the factory your PFAFF was adjusted, carefully tested, and found to be perfect in every respect. If you follow the simple suggestions outlined here, you will enjoy your PFAFF... find it endlessly useful ... and, through-out the years be glad that your choice is the finest sewing machine in the world. I. Useful hinis to help you get the best results with your PFAFF Use fine thread and a fine needle adjusted for loose tension when sewing thin, light fabrics. For ordinary lock stitch or zigzag seams, regulate the tension so that the interlacing of upper and under threads takes place in the center of the stitching. For making buttonholes, stitching on buttons, eyeletting, rolling seams, and hemstitching, the tension of the under thread should be somewhat tight, since it is desirable to hove the threads interlock more toward the underside of the fabric. Use unglazed thread for ordinary sewing, and soft yarn for embroidering, darning, etc. Since these yarns are smoother and more flexible than the hard and brittle glazed cotton, they assure well-drawn-in stitches, thus protecting the seams when the fabric is washed. Skipping of stitches may be caused by: 1. Needle not having been inserted properly. 2. Using other than the recommended PFAFF Needles. 3. Needle being bent by wrong handling, or too fine for the thread used. Thread breaking may be caused by: 1.
