Eldorado Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Hello all, I have an opportunity to change from a pre-WWII singer 135W to a Pfaff 335-6b-H2L (not sure the age). I'm attracted to the fact that it has a reverse, but can't find much else about it. Probably top of my list of questions is how thick will it sew? I can do up to 3/8" now (though it can be stubborn) and would like to stay being able to sew fairly thick stuff. Other more general questions are whether it gets me other capability that my old machine doesnt have and whether $600 without stand or motor (I'd swap it on to the mount of the old machine) is a good deal? Any input is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
