subgirl Report post Posted September 27, 2014 I've recently bought a second hand pfaff 335-h2 cylinder bed sewing machine & I'm having some issues with the presser foot. It isn't feeding the fabric through properly. The vibrating presser foot is working fine, but the fabric is just bunching up between the two feet & jamming. I've adjusted the tension on both feet and I did seem to get it all working for one very short test run, but now - nothing! What I'm noticing is that while the vibrating presser lifts between stitches, the presser foot doesn't. I've looked at the adjustment manual, the user manual, and the adjustment manual for the Pfaff 145 which is a similar, though flatbed, machine. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

subgirl Report post Posted October 16, 2014 Just to clarify - having gone through the manual and found as much information as I can online the issue is the other way round, I mistook my feet the presser foot is working and I've managed to get a handle on how to adjust it using the manual - the problem is the vibrating presser, which none of the manuals seem to elaborate on and I can't work out how to adjust. It's currently not lifting off the needle plate at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thesergeant Report post Posted October 17, 2014 You need to match the stroke of the inner and outer foot. Here's a link to the procedure: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/121969/Pfaff-1245.html?page=51#manualYour machine may not be 7mm, it might be less. I use a stack of playing cards as a spacer, adding/removing them until both feet raise to the same height. Then I tape the stack together, write the thickness and throw it in my "adjustment tools" drawer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you explain this as I am going through the same problem as on my pfaff 335 and I look at that manual and my presser foot is not lifiting or even adjusting at all. Thank you.

shoepatcher Report post Posted November 29, 2020 The walk of the feet is off. That has to be equalized for the feet to work properly glenn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. Did you get this fixed? Was it the needle bar rocker shaft being out of time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
