*ATTENTION* Thanks everyone, problem is solved! Like @Uwesaid, at some point the outer presser bar was adjusted to accommodate aftermarket feet (probably due to the feet that were available in the 90s). For those who come here with the same issue. There is a collar on the rear presser bar with two set screws that determines the height of the outer foot. You need to temporarily disconnect the upper knee lift linkage and a lifting bracket to access the set screws. Loosen the set screws and you can lower the rear presser foot to just above the needle plate. Reassemble and the outer presser foot should be resting just above the needle plate, ready to sew!

Thank you! Do you have any idea on how I can readjust the rear presser bar to accommodate the KH feet?

Hey! Any luck on the photos? Thanks.

Thanks!

Any chance you might be able to tell me the height of one of your working presser feet? That way I’ll know immediately if it’s a part issue or machine issue. thanks!

Thank you! Are you using an H4?

Good question. I purchased a few different sets of feet, some piping feet for various thickness and a thin right hand zipper foot, all the same shorter height.

Hello leather workers, Thank you for letting me join the group. I have been reading this forum for the past year and am glad I finally signed up! I recently acquired a Pfaff 545 H4 in pretty excellent condition. Outfitted it with a new service motor and even made a new oak tabletop for it. I ordered a few sets of feet from Kwok Hing (khsew). I received the feet, and after installing on my machine I noticed that the new feet are about 2mm shorter than the OEM foot. Thanks to a post from @Uwe, I was able to lower the walking foot to compensate for the shorter feet, but this leaves the rear presser foot about 2mm above the needle plate at the lowest position. Is there a way to lower the rear presser foot on the Pfaff 545? Or is there a better supplier of feet I can buy from?? Thank you!
