MTX 190-755 Sys Neelde vs. 135x17 Sys Needle.jpg

Both needles were Measured with Micrometer. You had mentioned something about a measurement, so here you go! The needle on the bottom is the System I am now using in my Pfaff 545-H4. What I have used reguarly in my machine are the sizes I've shown in the first photo, which include 110/18, 120/19, 125/20. The thickeset needle I own for this machine is 22.

I included a 135x17 System Needle for comparison, because that is what my Consew 255 takes, and other machines I've owned used that System too. My new Juki 1541s will also take the 135x17 needle.

Hey suz, 

 

Thanks for the info! I fortunately managed to find the PFAFF manual and it says that my machine takes both 134-135 needles, I managed to fixed my tension too I needed a new check spring !

 

It's all coming together slowly! The next thing is feet I think, get myself a few different types :yeah:

Oh that is great news! So glad you got the tension fixed too. Was it pretty easy putting the check splring in? I'm glad it's all coming together for you!

Sorry for the late reply suzelle.

Truth is I took it to this really reputable sewing machine servicer and he was gobsmacked at just how much of a bad shape the machine was. Long story short he helped massively and done it all 'for free too' super pleased about that.

 

It's working lovely at the moment, I'm just waiting on my feet to come!

Great idea, taking it to a Pro to get it running! You were very fortunate to get such great help, all for free! The person must have just really loved working on the old Pfaff machines. What a great thing to be the recipient! Really glad it's working so well!
