In the market for a double needle, needle-feed machine for upholstery and denim work. I am looking to make this a true workhorse and was wondering if anyone would vouch more-so for the PFAFF over the Singers.

 

the PFAFF is available and it comes with Split NeedleBar which is a selling point. however, I fear getting parts for it would be an issue in a factory/production situation if it needs maintenance in the middle of something.


I can easily outsource and get replacement parts for a 112W or 212G including gauge sets (1/8, 3/32, 1/4, etc etc) for $20.00 each.


the 142-6 looks to be a upscaled 112w, would said 112w gauge sets work on that also?

 

i also see more people running 112W’s than 212G’s, is that due to access or is the 50’s 112w considered to be the superior machine? Thanks in advance

if it comes to double needle machines I would always choose a Singer based machines (Juki, Seiko, Cosew...). You will have a hard time finding gauge sets for the Pfaff 142 (if available at all) and you cannot use Singer gauge sets on the Pfaff.

I have a 212G141 and love it. I don´t use it often but it works great. Maybe you are interested what I did with my machine:
