Thank you! I can't believe how smooth they sew.

I did get aftermarket decals. Not exactly original, but close enough for me.

I had an old industrial frame that I was determined to use so made up a table for my Pfaff 335. Naturally, it's heavy and the only way to fit castors was to weld them to the bottom of the legs! This raises the whole thing up, including the foot pedal, and consequently I need a taller chair because the frame's not height adjustable, of course. I also had to add a piece of bungee cord to the back of the pedal for extra support due to its weight. This machine doesn't get used a lot but I'm not sure how comfortable the setup would be for extended use.

Wow, I love it. A fantastic machine on a wonderful old bench. 

I have the Hightex clone copy of the 335, it was the first machine I bought. I made the leather interior for my Fiat 600 Multipla with it and the convertible roof for my Fiat 500d, plus a few other projects. I made a flat bed aluminium table for it because I didn't want to buy two expensive new machines. 

It's much cheaper to restore an old quality machine than to buy a new clone. Although a brand new machine is easier to learn on I think.
