Singermania Report post Posted March 3, 2013 HI Darren, the 335 is a really good machine, you should get a good response when it becomes known you have one for sale. I've picked up a very rare Singer 6-10 to go with my 6-12 and looking for any manual or part manual therof. I have all the usual sources so it needs to be something someone has themselves. I also have an old Blake institcher (1878) and would like to find a manual for that too if anyone can spare a copy of one they have. Regards Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mungop Report post Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Darren, Is the motor a clutch or servo? How much leather will it go through? What size needles and thread does it use? I have furniture leather to sew with. 1.6 mm thick maybe equates to 3-4 oz. I have a Pfaff 362 and love it. It retired as a Textile and Design teaching machine in early 1970s and I started my love affair with sewing back then. But I've now just got hold of a bunch of furniture leather and I want to sew "stuff" with it so I've just started on the hunt for a machine. Currently looking at Techsew 2700 and CB227R.

Singermania Report post Posted April 6, 2013 G'day Cobber, Darren's Pfaff is ideal for leather furniture work, the compound feed makes life a lot easier than when I used to take on all kinds with a 99k. I haven't seen the machine, however Darren is a trained engineer and I know him personally, so you can be sure if he says its good then it is. On a slightly different tack for those interested in optional extras for the Pearson No 6, I now have original and replica tables, original bobbin winders, used but good shuttles and some replica Pearson rein rounders with matching needle plate.

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted April 7, 2013 Hi mate, It is a clutch motor - 1425RPM fitted with a 50mm drive pulley. The original balance wheel had a very small diameter pulley and I have replaced this with a larger diameter one. Upholstery leather is very soft so 5-6mm should not be an issue. I have been testing it with 4-5mm of harder leather. The machine is set up to use DPX16 needles and maximum size on top is a 22g with #138. People sometimes run #207 through these machines but I stick with the more conservative suggestion. Unfortunately the machine may be sold. The buyer has gone quiet but I will give him some more time to contact me. Darren Brosowski 0415 353 748 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
