Hello. 'DonInReno' I don't really follow you... Do you mean adjusting the hook bracket up and down like shown in the picture? Because setting left / right is not possible on this bracket. Also if you can see from the picture, this is a thicker thread and it looks like there is enough room all around this bracket - just in my opinion, but I could try re-setting it. Regards, Rok...

Hello. 'Quade' thank you for your compliments I tried this motor and it works super, power is 750W, max speed is 4000 rpm (I use 600 rpm), has many settings, needle stop (up/down), light,… Could use a lower 550W but the price difference was not so big, so I went for bigger one. About the ‘table’, I used a Minitec profiles for stand and for the top, I completely did everything myself. Motor is fixed to a machine shaft, but it is blocked with a wooden wedge bellow, to fix it from turning. As you asked what happens with thinner thread, it doesn’t matter which route it takes. But, with thicker thread there is a problem if it takes route B. I did some research and found that the route A should be correct. I tried with two different bobbin cases (type A and B – see from the pictures) and when using type A, then with thicker thread problem appear in the place marked in pictures. In my opinion, only solution is to use type B bobbin case, when using thicker thread (I mostly use Gutterman thread thickness 100 and 40). Regards, Rok…

Ok, when sewing with regular (thinner) thread, everything was ok, upper and bobbin tension was ok, but… when I tried sewing with thicker thread, then I run into a problem. I was using second bobbin case for use with thicker thread and had some problems regulating a bobbin tension. Then I noticed some difference of a thread route from the bobbin case and pass the rotary hook. When getting up a bobbin thread from bobbin, then the thread take a route B. But when some sewing was done, then it changed to route A. Because I had some tension problems, I thought that it was the problem the thicker thread ‘brakes/jams’ between a space of a rotary hook bracket, but as you can see, there is enough space. So, my question is, could somebody be kind enough to help me figure out which thread route is correct, route A or route B. Thank you and regards, Rok…

Hello. I’ve been checking this forum for some time and found some use full information. Not long ago I found this machine (Pfaff 138) and gave it a complete teardown, a full clean and completely serviced it. As you can see from the picture, I also made it ‘portable’. I found some servo motor from China, instead of using an under table motor. I just had to make some modified foot pedal to operate it. I know it does not look perfect, but more unique and to be honest, I like it. For me, it looks super and I also tried some sewing with it and to be honest it is a very good machine.

'Wizcrafts' thank you for the explanation... Now, that you cleared the function of this type of feed dog, you really got me thinking and I will readjust the feed dog to be leveled with the stich plate. Regards. Rok

Hello. 'CowboyBob' thank you for your help... Regards. Rok

Hello That was also my thinking... I was thinking about half of tooth above needle plate or do you think it is too much? Regards. Rok

Hello... I would like to set the correct height of feed dog... in my opinion the setting from 1245 seem to high in this option with just front to back movement... But like I said, I don't know if my thinking is correct...

Hello... Like I said, the manual for pfaff 1245 is not good for this machine... so that is why I need a help from someone who knows how to properly set the feed dog on these kind of machines. Regards. Rok

Hi everyone… I'm a new here on this forum, so I would be very glad, if someone could be so kind and perhaps help me with my problem. I got a Pfaff 145… the exact model is 145-H3-6/01 BSN (I attached the picture)… It is very solid machine, I cleaned it and oiled it... I also made some adjustments of timing, but because I removed and cleaned the gripper, I had to disassemble the feed dog and when putting it all together, I found that the feed dog was not going in the up and down motion, but just front to back motion. I was using a Pfaff 1245 instruction manual and settings, but there are only settings for a four way feed dog motion, so I got stuck and I don’t know what to do next. I couldn’t find the instructions for a Pfaff 145 or 545 model, so I have a problem how to properly set the feed dog. Could somebody help me how to set the feed dog (horizontal / lateral version) correctly? Thank you and best wishes… Rok
