Thank you! I have seen several of his videos recently, it is good to revisit!

Thank you so much, I realized someone has modified it with something else just wasn't sure what it was. That double row of knobs (excuse the non tech noob) was what threw me most when threading. Thank you for the manual, it helps a lot, I looked for other models hoping to see one that has the tension know setup more like this one but it never occurred to me to look at double needle ones. And honestly I have no idea why it hasn't since it seems logical Thank you!

Oh my I am so sorry I completely missed this. I have checked my settings and now get why I haven't received any notifications and have now set everything up to notify me Thank you so much for your time and effort! I apologize once again. I ended up coming across a pfaff 1245 which I recently got so yay me. I need help with it however, so I made a new topic, hopefully that's okay... Thank you again to everyone who replied and especially to you Constabulary for taking the time to look for something near me. I took all the comments into account and decided against the 335 and this one came up so I got it. Now I just need to learn to use it.

hi all I could really use your help here. This is my first encounter with this kind of machine and I am somewhat intimidated by it. More so because of the fact that I have no one anywhere near me to ask for direct help or to fix something if I mess up. It is a pfaff 1245 (706 i believe but I will check later) and the parts the thread goes through don't look like any of the videos I found or manuals I looked at. The double thing (don't know how it's called and too frustrated and tired to check the manual now) on the second pic is confusing me additionally. I have a bottom feed industrial, my only experience with industrial machines and this is a whole other world. I am a bit lost and frustrated I have threaded it since taking the pics and it sews but I would really like to know the correct way. Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you very much! (They're all about the Germans around here lol, and the shipping, I figured as much)

Thank you all for your advice. I've started accumulating machines so I get you (do I ever) but my budget restricts me from doing the same with industrials. My country has a much lower standard than the US or a lot of other countries so the amound needed to buy a serious machine is well, a lot. For a lot of people even completely unreachable. As for the 335 machines I've seen, one has a regular foot and was used as such, the other is a binding machine, but costs more and doesn't really interest me. What about the shipping issue, is that a big concern? Since the two mentioned (335 and 545) are basically all that I can get in my price range with tripple feed around here. And the 545? I will look into the Consew, thank you. In my parts of Europe that is not a name that you run into easily, so even if I do find one it would mean shipping from far away.

Hi all, I am new here and fairly new to the world of industrials. I would like a little help on what to do choice wise. I am in need of a machine and on a pretty limited budget. I would mainly do bags and wallets on it. However, I don't work with leather right now, just vinyl (still fairly a beginner) so I am wondering whether it would be better to buy what I can get that could work for me now and get something else later or buy something I can grow into nicely. Like something that wouldn't be an overkill, too much for my current needs, but could accommodate my fast growing appetites. My issues is that I am very limited in choices and budget. Firstly, I have no option of trying out anything. I live too far away from anything so whatever I get will have to be sent to me and it will have to be just based on a video or something. Buying a new compound feed is way out of my budget. Waay out. What I might be able to get is a regular walking foot (top and bottom feed) one of the juki clones, new - as I said, to work for me at this moment (and look into something better later on if I am able to) or buy a used compound, an old(er) one. My options here, within a reasonable distance (still would have to be sent to.me, just not that far) would.be a pfaff 335 or 545 mainly. Not sure on exact models but there are several and I don't want to ask for details until I able to buy (it'll be in a couple months time). These models are usually often seen in ads in the (wider) area. I have my heart set on a Juki lu 563 (a few others as well but that one is on top of the list) however those I can only find online (ebay and stuff), with warranty and whatnot, but it would mean shipping to my country, shipping pretty far and that worries me. Also to note, where I live there are no options of having it serviced if something goes wrong. There is probably one guy that travels once or twice a year around the south of the country and that is my only bet if I need repairs unless it is like dead or something and I'd need to spend an arm and a leg on shipping to and from where it can be looked at. So I'd like to get something reliable. It would likely be possible to get a professional to look at it while.buying and fix whatever needs fixing right away amd put in a servo motor, but from there on out, I'm on my own. I want it to be happy with t92 thread, that is my only... condition. I mean not.just be able to work with it but be happy with it lol Also wondering how comfortable would a 335 be as a main machine (not just a "specialized one") with something.like an extension table to make it a flatbed. Does it work well full time or is it not really great for a main machine. Thank you all for reading and for your time.
