Pfaff 335 Vs Pfaff 335-G

[Yanni]

I've been offered these two machines:

Both with binder but one is newer and has thread trimmer and auto reverse as well as servo motor.

Are these features worth an extra £250 or $400 ?

Are thread trimmer and auto reverse useful functions?

I'll be making leather briefcases and rucksacks but will also make canvas bags with binding..

Thanks.

Hi,

It is not only those functions you are paying for, it also have a needle position servo motor. This gives you total control of the machine, stitch-by-stitch, needle stops down, and heeling the pedal, it stops up. This equipment worth more than 1000 $ new. The other has a clutch motor; if you are not experienced with the clutch motor, you will not be able to control it. It will be way to fast for you, as a result, you have to change the motor later. There are many cheap Chinese servomotors on the marked, compared to this machines motor they are all toys. You will maybe not need an auto reverse and thread trimmer, however, you will not regret your choice of motor.

It is definitely worth extra money.
