    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!

    Those other feet in the photo are not OEM/Pfaff feet, but rather some other aftermarket supplier. 

    It’s likely the case that those other aftermarket feet are taller than they should be and that the machine was adjusted to accommodate the taller feet.

    My guess is that the KH feet are the better feet in this comparison, in terms of matching the original OEM dimensions.

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

    I just received the presser feet set I ordered from Amazon for my 545.  They are https://www.amazon.com/stores/ckpsms/page/8C8B8C59-BE53-42E6-B404-8E5D05BAEFB8?ref_=ast_bln&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto  and are now the 4th set I have ordered from them.  They fit just fine and I would recommend that brand.  I did order a different brand last year which stated it would work with Pfaff machines, however it did not.  I woudn't think ppresser feet are different for application, I can't see having to adjust your machine just to sew piping vs. regular stitching.  Also, if you order from Amazon, I have found their return policy to be easy and fair.

    Thank you! Are you using an H4?

    are both of them piping feet and are they for the same piping thickness? I think feet for thicker pipings are probably shorter but it´s a guess.

    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!
