Pfaff 145 H3 for fabric - not leather - what is the difference?

Recommended Posts

Dear Friends

Two months ago I salvaged four PFAFF 145s from a garage in Denmark.

One is up and running with, and I am about to start on the next one.

One of the machines is a H3 with a safety clutch but for fabric - not leather.

What is the difference between a H3 Sxx and a H3 Lxx?

Very often the only difference between the leather and fabric versions of a machine are the feed dog, throat plate and presser feet. The leather versions will have smooth surfaces  and the fabric version will have teeth or knurled surfaces on those parts. The parts are generally easy to swap out and you can turn most fabric machines into a leather machine by installing parts with smooth surfaces.

Hi Uwe

I had an idea, that the differences were small. I have a lot of presser feet - some smooth and some teethed. It should not be a problem then to convert it to a leather machine.
