Pinsplitter Report post Posted July 12, 2012 I am looking at A Pfaff 355 tomorrow. but i can't find much info on it online. the pic i think is what it might look like. my guess is it would stitch to about 1/2 inch thick, 6mm stitch length. anyone know this machine? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinsplitter Report post Posted July 12, 2012 yep gawd ur right. i should pay attention, i might end up buying a mowing machine. can't find anything about a 355 i might have written it down wrongly. anyhow i'll see it tomorrow. its $AUD900 which is pretty reasonable i think, here in Aus.

Stitch length goes up to 6mm. The one pictured has a binding attachment for sewing tape binding. Price seems reasonable but you should make sure it's sewing properly before buying.

leatheroo Report post Posted July 12, 2012 hey pin...i have the same machine and love it...i had to replace the motor only because it went WAY to fast....i put a servo on it and now it goes nice and slow...i took the binding bits off and have bought a few different feet for it...only complaint is the smallish bobbin. I paid $600 but i think i got a bargain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinsplitter Report post Posted July 19, 2012 thanks all. well i ended up buying it, i think its a Pfaff, could be a copy not sure, there's no Pfaff name on it...hmmmm in a Singer table with a SInger 1440rpm motor. Noisy things aren't they? so the speed was way to high for me and my learner skill level. got info on a speed reducer on another thread, not readily available here in Aus, nor are servo motors easy to find, so i made my own speed reducer. also modified the pedal and extended the clutch arm to try to make the travel slower. look very home-made but it all works really well. i have a very nice speed now for me. here's the pic. have to make a bobbin winder next. overall i am pretty happy with it.

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted July 19, 2012 Don't build your own bobbin winder as they are only worth about $20. I don't have stock at the moment but Mark Foster in Melbourne has Servo Motors for sale. thanks all. well i ended up buying it, i think its a Pfaff, could be a copy not sure, there's no Pfaff name on it...hmmmm in a Singer table with a SInger 1440rpm motor.
