Re: Pfaff tip matric 1047 will not zigzag or create...
Possibly could be a problem with the cam that does the zig zag, also could be a problem with the computer, if the problem continues the machine needs to be checked

It could be that 8mm is the limit for the buttonhole foot. You can try making buttonholes manually with the sewing machine. Not really difficult. Just need to be careful marking the buttonhole and stitching. Recommend practicing on scrap fabric before trying it on the project.
Difficult to assist without more machine information. FWIW, a lot of older machines do not have a buttonhole stitch, but it is easy to do as long as the machine has straight stitch and zig-zag options.
try changing the needle make sure the button hole lever is pulled down, it should be on the left hand side of the needle, if your machine has one it's also possible that the machine needs to be checked to see if there is something wrong with a gear or just needs some type of adjust inside of the machine
Go to the following site regarding timing your machine. Are you placing a button in the buttonhole foot so the machine "knows" how long to make the buttonhole? If you have a button stop lever to the left of your needle bar, are you pulling it down and putting it in FRONT of the button stop so it can complete the rotation?

Hi, did you buy the machine from a dealer - if so, I would take it back and ask them to show you how to do buttonholes again. It is also possible that, although the test buttonholes sewed out correctly, the automatic button sensor needs professional adjustment.
Before going back to the dealer, find the section in your manual that discusses buttonholes and read thru it very carefully. Pfaff machines are not intuitive, and the manual might describe a way to adjust the automatic buttonhole settings so they sew out correctly.
If you need more help, please repost and I'll try to help or put you in touch with a dealer who can help
Yes, If you have a zigzag function use that. First you must keep the zigzag function stationary then set it to about a one or two on the stitch dial. Try that!
Are you using a Pfaff 7570 (or other Pfaff machine with Sensor)? If so, definitely use the sliding buttonhole foot and the sensor guide (slides below the needle plate from the back of the machine. This will keep your buttonholes consistent.
The size is regulated by the Stitch/Pattern Length button and Width button. Select the size you think you'll need (in millimeters).
Test sew your buttonhole on the EXACT same combination of fabric/layers & stabilizer that your garment is. Adjust the length/width of buttonhole if needed. I would recommend a bit wider buttonhole due to the thickness/puffiness of the fleece.
1. Attach the buttonhole presser foot (should have come with your machine) and place the fabric underneath. 2. Set the stitch length knob to 0, the zigzag width knob to 5, and set the needle position to center. Sew 3-5 stitches. 3.Change the stitch length to 0.5, the zigzag width to 2, and the needle position to left. Sew to the entire length of your buttonhole. 4.Set stitch length knob to 0, zigzag width knob to 5, and needle position to center and sew about 3-5 stitches 5. Set the stitch length knob to 0.5, zigzag width to 2, and set needle position to the right. Pressing the R button (reverse button), sew up to the top stitches. 6. Remove the fabric and open the button hole with a button hole cutter.
Sounds complicated, but it's really easy. I love this machine, you just have to know how to use it!
