Here is another Pfaff 335 option, I have been trying to do doing some bracelets and found I needed a shorter needle plate to the left, and a inline foot because the bracelets have a hidden cap and post so when sewing, the female part underneath hits the side and angles the work, easiest solution is make the bracelet wider than 25mm, but I wanted to do a 25mm and see at the same time if this will work instead of ordering a cheap copy and grinding it down ( by the way, the last cheap copy did not even fit properly!!).  this could get you out of a pickle....  This is 4mm from the needle hole as opposed to the 8mm before. The inline foot hole needed to be cleaned up with a 4.5mm drill bit for it to fit perfectly

Just another 335 thang, small flatbed for small work.

Brilliant, Jimi! I was going to print them out and then remembered I've converted it back to a binder, so not much use to me.

Good stuff @jimi. I have to ask if you re taped all them holes you have the allen heads in out to 4mm? I've been working on a drop down guide for going down on the left side of the needle and was hoping to find a tap and screws to match the machine threads. What a joke, just .2mm smaller. I should get to try it out in the next day or so and load some pics up then.

Well I tested it and it works OK but this one's probably not of much interest due to the rarity of this particular machine model which is a 331 Pfaff. With the walking foot models you would have to change the feet from right to left halfway through and I think that would f be super unexciting. If any one wants the stl let me know. History.... the wife liked the look of this bag handle method but with the gussets in place you can not stitch the handle holes down in the one operation so I reasoned that by back stitching the top line first then spinning at the other end I could drop down the other guide and continue to complete the rest of the hole stitch.

 

This shows the outer roller guide down for the top side stitch (Sorry I stitched it up before I remembered to take the pictures)

It then moves up and the other one drops down for the bottom side

Not too bad for the first go at least

Wow, now that is what I call thinking outside the box to find the solution.

The handbag looks good from what I can see of it.

Thanks.

Bert.

Thanks Brian, Correct, I see you have a hawk eye!!....I could not find any screws and if i did with postage it was a joke so i taped them to M4 and got rid of mi headache.

That looks like a job for your 29k with a very steady hand!! Maybe a foot with a guide??? So i take it there is no way to do that opened out and flat??

Thanks, Well when you convert it back you know you have a mini table waiting
