Thanks, its older version with small cams....same cam size as domestic 830 model. Both 217 are old versions 6mm zig zags. Thank you

Anyone that can help? Thanks

Hello, I got lucky and found Bernina 217 with all the original cams (20 cams) and cam reader. Cam reader works but I would like to move it to my other 217 I am currently using. Both machines are 6mm zigzags. Anyone knows how to remove the Cam reader and re instal it? Amongst the original cams there is a Cam with nr. 10113 but I believe that's not 3 step zigzag cam despite being pictured as such in the original (German) manual? Thank you!

Hi, I was using my Juki 5410 Needle feed with Coats Epic80 Tex40 without any issues. Now I swaped to bonded nylon Coats Nylbond 60 tex45 and the bobbin thread snaps while I sew. I start normal but during the sewing there is a noise as if the thread gets overstretched (stretching string sound) before it snaps. Otherwise the seam formation looks fine. The bobbin was inserted anticlockwise. Thoughts? Thanks

Hello, this has been probably covered but cant find the threads so asking....what one needs to convert OLD pfaff 335 into binder. My idea is to use flatbed machine for sewing and convert my old 335 into binding machine to use with 2cm binding tape without fold. What do I need to buy to swap out? Are there any complete binding Kits available online in Europe? Thanks

I cant print that on standard A4 in 1:1 scale. Can you post pdf. file...thanks

Hello, newbie here looking for help to decide with what power servo motor old Pfaff 335 would work well. I recently bought the old Pfaff 335 and want to replace the heavy/noisy clutch motor it came with. Local Jack servo motors supplier said that this size machine needs at least 750W servo to work well but I was reading that 550W servo works just as great. Anyone made the swap for 550W and how does it work for you? I am planning to use machine as binder to bind the bags edge. Bags are mostly made with up to 1000D cordura fabric and have multiple layers of fabric and webbing (backpacks etc.). Will not sew heavy leather just upholstery fakes. Options I was looking at are: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/JK-511A-1-220V-550W-SERVO-3_4-HP-MOTOR-WITH-NEEDLE-POSITION https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/JK-561A-220V-750W%3d1HP-SERVO-MOTOR Sorry if the topic was already started but I couldn't find the info.
