Members plinkercases Posted July 9, 2018 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I have a Pfaff 335 walking foot cylinder bed with system 135-45 needles that will sew this capacity (3/8ths) and some have had it work ok with as high as 207 thread so if this has the same lift and needle system limitations then not sure why I would get another machine that doesn't give me more material and thread thickness. A next machine would be in the 7/8ths capacity and large needle/thread group of machines. Its 800 Canadian and looks to be in excellent shape.. they say it is tuned up and working very well.... If it was a C or D class I would go for it.

Members dikman Posted July 10, 2018 Members Report Posted July 10, 2018 I got my 335 to work with #138 - just. It's much happier with #69. I reckon it would be a struggle to use #207 myself.

Members plinkercases Posted July 10, 2018 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2018 Yes once it is set up (the 335) I will be happy with 138 or even 92 Quote "Oh my God....I beseech thee grant me the grace to remain in Thy Presence; and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my affections" Brother Lawrence c.1614-1691 plinkercases.ca
