alexitbe Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 I have just bought a strobel 40-1n fur sewing machine (pics later). I believe it is for fine work like mink as the stitch size is adjustable from 1-2.5mm. Well the post man played fortball with it and managed to break the front feed rod and the needle. I am remachining the rod, but don't know the need to get. I think I should get the 459 system, however, should it be the round nose or leather cutting tip? Thanks for any guidance. Alex Quote

alexitbe Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Constab, I think you are right...and getting more doesn't seem to solve the issue... The Durkopp is the king of the crop, but I now have 2 fur sewing machines, a Singer 111WD, two Singer patchers.... Although, I need a zick zack machine and am thinking of a Pfaff 38-6... Cheers Alex Quote
Members Constabulary Posted June 3, 2015 Members Report Posted June 3, 2015 Ha ha - thats true... Pfaff 38´s are nice - there are at least 2 slightly different models with different zig zag adjusters as far as I know. The later type has the same adjuster like the Pfaff 138 + 238. The zig zag adjusters are often clogged up or gummed. But they brake free when you apply heat with a heat gun and soak them with WD40. Pfaff 38 and 138 pop up on Ebay fairly cheap sometimes Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
