Members Maint1517 Posted February 26, 2022 Members Report Posted February 26, 2022 I’m about to take things up a notch for myself. I’m going to an industrial Pfaff sewing machine for stitching holsters, sheathes and other items. Keep in mind I just do this as a hobby, making items for myself, family and friends. it would really help if some of you could post pictures of your machine setups. Thanks Quote
MtlBiker Posted February 26, 2022 Report Posted February 26, 2022 What's really to show? Just a machine sitting in its table? Or something else? How you set up your sewing room really depends on the space you have to work with, what you sew mostly and what you cut. It's always nice to have a big table you can cut out material on, and that's separate from your sewing machine setup. Maybe looking at some sewing videos on YouTube could be helpful? And make sure you have good lighting for the sewing machine.

Members DrmCa Posted February 26, 2022 Members Report Posted February 26, 2022 Wow, kgg, you've reached a new pinnacle! Is that patcher flatbed attachment 3D printed too? Or is it cut from a sheet?

Members dikman Posted February 26, 2022 Members Report Posted February 26, 2022 I see you've been giving the 3D printer a real workout, kgg! (That table for the Chinese patcher looks very nice). Maint1517, which Pfaff are you looking at, given that you want to do holsters? Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Maint1517 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Members Report Posted February 27, 2022 It’s an older model 6031 extra heavy duty. But in really good condition. Already purchased it. It should be here next week. Quote
Members suzelle Posted February 27, 2022 Members Report Posted February 27, 2022 kgg, really nice bunch of machines you have there! I think I'd have to go look at them every day and tuck them in at night too! Quote

It is 3d printed as well as the adjustable support legs and the table attachments for it. 5 hours ago, suzelle said: I think I'd have to go look at them every day and tuck them in at night too! My machines except for the Tinkers Delight live in the bedroom across from me. Those are some, not all, of the accessories / attachments that I have designed and 3D printed for my machines just to make life a little easier. My main consideration for any accessories / attachments is that there are no additional holes needed to be drilled into the table top or sewing machine. What I have shown in the photo's are: i) Kobe LS-1341 clone: turn table style binder tape dispenser with ball bear race; binder tape guides; micro table attachment to allow for the use of standard flat bed binders / edge guide; top mounted swivel bobbin/ snip holder; lower swivel bobbin / snip holder; hands free bobbin thread cutter with needle / bobbin caddy ii) Juki DNU-1541S: top mounted swivel bobbin & snip holder; lower swivel bobbin & snip holder; hands free bobbin thread cutter with needle / bobbin caddy; caddy for tools / needle / bobbins iii) Chinese Patcher a Tinkers Delight: adjustable double light caddy (front gray led light and far side red led light); pressor foot position indicator (red arrow); Red colored rear mounted scissor holder; Blue colored rear mounted 1lb bobbin thread holder; Blue colored rear mounted top thread holder; Black colored 6" drop down adjustable table top; Blue colored adjustable height nose support (prevents any forward tipping of the machines arm); Blue colored machine mounting base iv) 1949 Singer 29k-71 swing away bobbin thread guide ( replaces your finger so you can wind a bobbin as you go ); double 1lb spool holder; double spool thread guide; double thread guide for top and bobbin thread. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

Already purchased it. It should be here next week. I couldn't find much info on that machine but looking at the photos it appears to be a domestic machine. If it is the one I'm looking at then I doubt it will be any good for holsters. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.
