Possibly, but it will be very expensive. This has been discussed before on Leatherworker.net. Use our search engine, or search Google like this example:

convert pfaff 335 to 4 way feed motion site:leatherworker.net

Thank you

I just bought a 335-H3-6/01 and the feed dog moves only forward and backwards it doesn't rises up.

Can it be changed ?

I personally do not see anything wrong with the foot going backwards and forwards?? when the needle and the front foot lifts, and goes forward, the back foot holds your work down?? then when the back foot lifts, your work is carried along with the needle, the front foot and the feed dog. Also the feed dog is usually smooth so no marks on your leather unless you do not protect the feet with a thin piece of leather glued on or something similar.

I agree with jimi. I converted mine from a binder to a "conventional" machine and didn't have any issues with not having an oscillating feed dog.
