Members dikman Posted August 4, 2016 Members Report Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks for the excellent site link, Mr. McClain. They have some great feet sets available for my machines, including the Pfaff, and even have a roller foot assembly that will fit my 331! looks like I'll be putting a shopping list together.

This approach is handy if you have multiple slide plates that you can quickly swap out. Pfaff swing guide mounting bracket used to install an edge guide to the slide plate? Brilliant! Usually when we mount a slide plate binder, we use a thumb screw to lock the plate in place so it does not slide out while in operation. This is where you have the mounting screw, back corner right side. Again, if it works and your happy with it, that's what matters. BTW you are missing the needle bar thread guide.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 9, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Just FYI - that 867 guide works well on the 441-style too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252204937725?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited August 9, 2016 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members AEMcClain Posted August 9, 2016 Author Members Report Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks for the link JLS, that's next on my list of upgrades for my cb3200. Can you snap a picture of the back of the machine where it mounts? Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 9, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted August 9, 2016 This cobra machine came with two 6mm holes in the back. You can see 'em in the first 30 seconds of the cheap, low-rent, lame stinkin' video sum dummy dun put there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWd4FlRHv-Q Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members AEMcClain Posted August 10, 2016 Author Members Report Posted August 10, 2016 Quote Thanks for the video. Just checked the back of the old cowboy, no holes. I guess I'll be drilling and tapping again. On the bright side, cast iron is way easier to drill and tap than tool steel. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 10, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted August 10, 2016 If it helps, the holes in the bracket are for 6mm cap screws at 20mm on center.

Members dikman Posted August 23, 2016 Members Report Posted August 23, 2016 Just got my parts in from Kunpeng, shipping was prompt and not too long, coming from China. Thanks again, Mr. McClain. 1.Edge guide foot set (3/16", but I think I might need the 1/8") for the 111/211. This was the only bit that caused a problem, the inner foot was too tight and would only push halfway up the shaft. I eased out the socket with a grinding bit in a Dremel, that fixed it. Smooth-bottom feet. 2.Standard foot set for 111/211. This came with a split inner foot, which is really what I wanted. I may cut off the right hand toe of the presser foot and convert it to a left-toe type to use with an edge guide. Smooth-bottom feet. 3.Roller wheel assembly for the 331. This came with the needle plate and feed dog (which is just as well as I didn't think of them!). I haven't fitted it yet as I need to raise the presser bar to give more clearance. I don't know if I really need this but it looked nice!!! 4.Standard foot set for the Pfaff 335. As far as I can tell this appears to be identical to the KwokHing set I bought, right down to the cross-hatching on the bottom of the feet. The reason I bought this is that I intend to cut off the right-hand toe so that I can get in closer to the edge guide. Pfaff bits aren't that common so it will be easier to convert this than try to find a left-toe set. The Pfaff set was a bit cheaper than KwokHing, but not much, but not paying extra for shipping is where the savings come in. All up I'm pretty happy with KunPeng and will probably get some more stuff from them later. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members DavidRM Posted May 23, 2017 Members Report Posted May 23, 2017 OK - these swing down edge guides look very nice to me. I am not going to drill and tap in my sewing machine. My sewing machine is not listed as one of those for which they are compatible. I looked at the back of my sewing machine (Consew 206RB) and there is a hole there -but it seems two holes are required to mount it and the holes on the back of my machine seem too far apart? The presser foot may hit it but there is slack there so maybe that wouldn't matter? Quote
