Pfaff 138 mystery feed dogs and needle plate

Recommended Posts

In my Pfaff 138 manual there is a picture of a feed dog set, with a configuration of 6 individual feed dogs, as well as a matching needle plate - both with individual parts numbers.

This set up would be ideal for my needs but I can’t find any trace of either anywhere on-line!

 

Anyone else come across these mystery feed dogs and needle plate?

 

Part number:

Needle plate 91-048 932-04

Feed dogs   91-047 401-04

could this work? Pfaff 438 is a successor down the line of 138?

btw, this are generic Chinese products, price is in line with workmanship.

Here is something similar but with different number, and it's written for 4mm zig zag

but maybe it's the same on those from your catalogue?

Thanks nejcek74, I too found the needle plate from the second link you posted and it looks as if it would fit; screw holes looks to be in the right place, but without the appropriate feed dogs I’m still stuck… 

I have already ordered a set of the Pfaff 438 needle plate and feed dogs similar to the ones you found; the screw holes are wrong but I figure I can drill some new ones and try to botch it into place somehow. It’s also possible that the 438 feed dogs could work with the needle plate from the second link.

 

Unless anyone else can set me up with the real articles, or some good leads as to acquire them, I’ll post my botch-job progress with the 438 plate and dogs when they arrive in a few weeks.
