DrmCa Report post Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Tried googling but could not get a definitive answer regarding needle system of Pfaff 335-17. The dealer who sold it to me told me it was 135-16. But the dealer whom I usually buy supplies from sells 190LR needles for this machine. Looking primarily for the size 18-24 leather point needles, but going to need some smaller textile needles too. Could leather and textile needles be of a different system for this machine? Appreciate your input! Edited May 22, 2015 by DrmCa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrmCa Report post Posted May 22, 2015 Does that mean both 134 and 135 are good? Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thor Report post Posted May 22, 2015 You can use 135-17 needles with this machine. For further info I suggest the Beissel conversion chart for needle systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrmCa Report post Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Does anybody know what is the largest size of needle 335-17 should work with? I tried size 24 but the needle alone could not pass through the slit in the hook. Looks like that it would not pass through the hole in the feed dog if I used saddlery thread. It is not alignment - trying from the bottom the needle's tip gets stuck in the slit. Does it mean I am limited to size 22?

Yes, unless you can find a feed dog with a wider hole, or file yours out, then reposition the hook or needle deflector. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
