Pfaff 1222e (Not for Leather) Max Thread Size

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have a new to me 1976 Pfaff 1222e that I picked up for fabric and canvas work.  This may be a longshot, but I'm hoping someone out there is familiar with this machine. 

Should it sew #69 thread with a size 16/18 needle?  When I tried sewing #69 thread, the stitches looked poor in comparison to stitches in a lighter weight thread.  If it should sew #69 thread, I'll keep playing with the tension settings and see if I can't figure out the magic recipe.

The manual I found does show heavy-linen and denim paired with thread size 40 and needle size 90-100.  Burlap is 40/110.  Toldeo sewing chart converts that to #69 thread.

Thanks!
