Silverd Report post Posted January 12, 2020 Hello, Can someone tell me if the needles I use in a Juki 1541S can be used in a Pfaff 335 clone? 134-35 & 135 x 16: Are they compatible? Thank you! Silverd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) You basically can use either needle in either machine when you adjust the needle bar height. 135x16 is a little bit longer than 134-35. So if you want to use 135x16 in your Pfaff 335 clone you have to raise the NB by the amount the the 135x16 is longer than the 134-35. Looks like approx 0.8mm + some fine tuning. Measured from end of shank to right above the needle eye. I have set the majority of my machines to 135x17 / 135x16 just for the reason that I do not have to stock different needle systems.
