Pfaff 545 presser foot lift and needle stop

[Uwe]

Your screw that holds the rear presser foot may be going in from the wrong side (perhaps presser foot shaft is rotated 180˚) The split bottom end of the shaft has threads on one side only. The screw needs to be inserted from the side opposite those thread.  That way the screw will squeeze the split shaft legs together and hold the foot very tight.

I am laughing so hard right now... no, the shaft is not rotated, screw goes in from the right way. But using a chinese foot adapted to pfaff 545 is NOT the same thing as the original Pfaff foot that came with the machine, that foot sits nice and tight in the shaft.. That will teach me a lesson! Will try and get the front foot and needle rightly timed today.

I think I got the timing right, if anyone wants to look 

Foot lift adjusted to high. I can stop with needle down. But still not with lift on lowest... I will think about it , and leave it on high for the moment!
