Members Constabulary Posted February 12, 2020 Members Report Posted February 12, 2020 okay - did not know they shut until Feb. 28. Wondering how many orders have piled up until then. 7 hours ago, JeannieH said: for others people, if anyone has a pfaff 335 binder they don’t use anymore let me know and I may be interested in buying it! 3/4”. Pretty sure you have dealers in the US who can supply these binders - maybe check with the known industrial sewing machine dealers who have adverts on top of this site. However - I think I have seen the "335 binders" for 18mm and 20mm tape but 3/4" is 19mm but I of course don´t know what else is available.

Members dikman Posted February 12, 2020 Members Report Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Have a look at the Kwok Hing website, they're in Hong Kong so I don't know if that makes any difference to shipping. http://www.kwokhing.com/pfaff/ Not the cheapest around but excellent quality. They have the two feet that you need. Can you post a photo of the entire machine? That might help identify which clone it is.

Members dikman Posted February 12, 2020 Members Report Posted February 12, 2020 It doesn't appear to be a clone of either a Pfaff or the Juki DCS246, and so far I haven't found anything else that looks like it. Manual/parts list is here - https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1182718/Zoje-Zj2628.html#manual I thought the base looked a bit different, like it has a second base attached to it, and the manual shows it's an accessory base that is actually an oil reservoir as the machine is fitted with an oil pump.

Ok. Does that mean a pfaff 335 binder will not fit on this machine? I’m really trying to find an already made binder to work for me before I pay hundreds of dollars for a custom one. Quote
Members JeannieH Posted February 13, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2020 My machine also has parts from both of these other models. Quote
mikesc Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 You could try contacting Strima , they are the Zoje distributors in Europe..just possible that they have binders in stock .. Presumably you have already asked Zoje in USA. Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )

They did give me a number for north or South Carolina..but the guy never called me back. I will try the place you mentioned. Thank you. Edited February 13, 2020 by JeannieH Quote

I don't know Jeannie, but if that piece you bought fits then I'd say yes, it will fit, as that looks like a Pfaff binder plate. Does it have a part number on it? Those other two machines are clones of a Pfaff 335 and Juki 246, so I'm wondering if yours is one they designed themselves? They are supposed to be a large sewing machine manufacturer.

Members Constabulary Posted February 13, 2020 Members Report Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) it would not surprise me when certain parts of the binder setup are interchangeable between the models - welcome to the clone world Upper front section of the Zoje 2628 looks very much "Singerish" to me, certain parts are typical for the Singer 111w / 153w machines. So I would suspect that the feet are Singer type too but of course I do not know for sure.
