Members Nanamagic Posted March 16 Members Report Posted March 16 Hello. I am still looking for a sewing machine to make totes, purses, and other small bags. I have recently found two machines that are within 3 hours of my home and within my price range. I am wondering which machine you would recommend. Pfaff 145 H3 with old motor or Singer 111w115 with new servo motor. I appreciate your feedback! Quote
Members nylonRigging Posted March 16 Members Report Posted March 16 I would not put so much of the decision on what drive each machine has under the table. But would make the decision on the condition of the Head. ( me ) , drive motors come and go, and can easy be changed out. Machine Pic's would help a Lot . Both are solid workhorse machines / The older Head is no doubt the 111w115., and it most likely does not even have reverse . If the Pfaff was pretty clean Head, and not beat to hell. I would take the old 145H3 on my 1st choice. . Quote

Members Tigweldor Posted Wednesday at 06:07 PM Members Report Posted Wednesday at 06:07 PM Can you get a close-up of the Pfaff brass serial number plate ? Then you can get exact specs about the machine. Spare parts - if needed - are definitely less expensive and more readily available for the Singer - especially in the US. Quote
Members fibersport Posted Thursday at 11:27 AM Members Report Posted Thursday at 11:27 AM I love my Pfaff but that one looks like its seen a lot of use. All things equal, I would have to go with the Singer just from the pictures. I second the difficulty and price for Pfaff parts. Quote
