Ok,the sizes they have are 3/32,1/8,5/32,3/16,1/4,5/16 & 3/8

What size do you need? On Superior's page#434 is all the different gauges sizes you can get w/o going to get it custom made.You or we order plate & matching feed then order the needlebar & foot from the 112w page. I don't know of any other machine parts that will fit.

Supposed to be some coming in June.

If she buys that set,she'll need to get a needlebar as that needlebar chuck won't work on her Singer.

Marko, You might want to edit your title line on the ad to read Model # 4500. Sorry to hear your selling it ,but good luck with the sale. Bob Kovar

The end of the bracket is supposed to push on the rod,it's probably broken off it the rod doesn't move when you lift the foot.It isn't the easiest part to replace because you have to pull the pressure bar up past where the spring is.

Is the feed dog coming above the needle plate as the needle & inside foot move back?

I know a lot of Pfaff's have gearbox covers that are missing & people just put regular oil on them & probably not as often as they should & they've been using them that way for years.

The H4 has a higher foot lift & with the 135-35 needle in it the needle would hit the foot with the feet up that's why it needs the longer needle.Your machine shouldn't lift that high UNLESS someone put the higher lifter handle on it & that's why it's marked to use the 190 only.The problem w/the 190 is it's longer so it will flex & break easier than the 134-35.

The reason behind threading that way is once in a while the thread can work it's way out of the tension while sewing,BUT then when threading like this it isn't lined up with the next tension.SO what we have people do is run the thread through 2 of the holes in the spool pin for alittle tension before the thread gets to this one & it seems to work too.

LOL,it's a good one!

Now,this is work writing to 2 Jeffs,Glad you got her fixed & alpha Jeff ,I'm just relaxing watching a movie,my Wife is giving me the evil eye while I'm typing better run.

Hey Jeff,Switch the chain around end for end,it's catching on the big end & you want to tapered end pointing down.

Thanks for the report!Glad to see your having fun,it was great seeing you again!.Those drop down guide are pretty handy,we expect to have more in soon.

It won't sew very heavy,uses #69 or 92 thread & does not have a walking foot.Better for material then leather.

Here's a manual for this machine.The threading isn't too clear in it. http://www.consew.com/Files/112347/InstructionManuals/277ROpMan.pdf 277ROpMan.pdf

Theaded incorrectly,you forgot the run the thread through the takeup lever(the part that moves up & down while your sewing & behind the guard in the front)You need to always stop & start sewing with it all the way up.

Very interesting,So they just wanted to be different?

My eyes were looking @ the machine & missed the heater LOL!

The story I've been told is they couldn't get enamel paint during WW2.

Looks good.Have you ever had a problem where it didn't wrinkle ?I've painted a lot of them & found it wrinkles better if you warm the machine up.I used to put a heat lamp on the base & cover the head with ali foil to hold the heat in for 3-4 hrs,OR if it a hot summer day will work too.

It's a high-speed garmet sewing machine for sewing shirts & dresses.NOT for leather at all.

If the stitch is that long your lucky,because the max length on the newer models is only 7 pr in.The part that gets worn is called a bell crank lever,I call the part a tongue it's part #8167 & fits in the ring part.All the 29-4 parts are the same except the hand lift lever AFAIK.There's a hole in the ring of part#82053 that needs oiled once in a while to prevent this from getting wornout.
