The Ultimate PFAFF 332-6 - Introduction and Yummy Bonus Presented!! 

Hi Tove, I'm glad my videos were compelling enough to turn your husband's thinking, and needless to say you made the right decision...simply no comparison! All the best with your vintage beauty, and if I can be of help as you grow your knowledge of your machine, please let me know. Warm regards, Scott

Hi Susan, Wonderful news! I believe that's one of the longest repairs.....almost 2 years, right? I hope you find your pattern wheel, and enjoy your Swedish beauty!

Great to use it again! Found a pattern wheel for the 332 amoungst other pfaff machines, just taking ages to get here from Germany. The other I have (found it after I had ordered a new one) is a bit hard to to understand as the other machines do have knobs and dials in different places. Just hoping I can work out how to do 3 stitch zig zag. Of course having my lovely old Bernina 730 is also a dream, not to forget my old Husqvarnas.... Happy Christmas.!CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration

Have you gotten your machine back yet Susan?

CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration No no. It is still there and my Elna too. Still hoping!

Sorry to hear that Susan. Again, suggest they try using a STRETCH BELT, which with the tension pulley should serve you well..

I think I must have missed your helpful reply!! I will get in touch with them. Now its 1½ years! As a person with a "slight" hoarder instinct, I have been and purchased a few other old machines. None in top condition, but will gradually get repairs done. Have a wonderful Bernina 730 Record ( pattern stitches not working, I see a cracked "wheel/cog") and 4 or 5 Husqvarnas! A Singer, 2 very old Elnas and one younger Elna in plastic that I am not so keen on. But I would like my Pfaff back. Thanks again.CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration

Hi Cohill, With a dial-a-stitch card, as shown in my video, you can access 80+ stitches that should more than meet your sewing needs from a decorative and utility standpoint. A good fall back for stretch stitching is always a standard zigzag, and you get diverse outputs by simply adjusting stitch length or width. Regarding the strengths of the machines you mentioned, they all have their positive attributes. My favorite for overall versatility and strength, coupled with a sewing area due to the HUGE extended bed, are the Green Machines, such as the Husqvarna 21-A.. All the best in sewing, Scott

Hi Arvid, Thanks for the comment about threading. Those extra loops about the CENTER knob are actually for winding a bobbin, which I didn't specifically demonstrate in this video. The ultimate test of the threading of any machine, is proper operation, and stitch quality, so don't be afraid to experiment if an owner's manual is not available, or if you can't locate an instructive video. Good sewing, Scott

+PikaPiFarlie - My video on YOUR machine is at the following link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sW17uO0A1yg.html (more) I would encourage you to also check out my PFAFF PLAYLIST, which includes several more videos on your specific machine, and the general use of the wheel chart. (more) Regarding books, I assume you are referring to an Instruction Manual, which I would like to offer for FREE. Visit the DESCRIPTION SECTION of my video at the link provided above, and you can DOWNLOAD the Instruction Manual for your machine at no cost. Please let me know if you need anything else, and if you didn't SUBSCRIBE to my channel yet, please do so!! Best wishes, Scott

Hi Adriana, The Sswalot website should have manuals for both of these machines. I don't find a Pfaff 230-160, so I trust you were asking about two distinct machines, with the 160 being much more contemporary. Good sewing, and thank you for your questions, Scott

Dear Francisca:Please forgive my delayed response, your message was not visible due to a glitch. You can view the stitch pattern wheel for a nominal fee at the following link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Afr9Z00wdrI.html sewing, Scott

Hi Scott. Unfortunately I'm not able to open the link you sent. The message is that teh video is not available in my country. Is there any other way to get it? Thank you!

Hi Francisca.....What country are in, please? Perhaps I simply need to create an offer. Otherwise, I can arrange another option.

+Brian Mott - Thanks for your questions, Brian! (more) I do have an embroidery stitch pattern wheel, but am not looking to sell it. The good news is that I am in the process of photographing each position of the card, and plan to make those images available as a reference tool to subscribers. Regarding an OWNER'S MANUAL, I just uploaded a copy to my DROP BOX, and the link is in the DESCRIPTION SECTION of this video, for FREE. Lastly, regarding presser feet, I do have some in my inventory, but would need to know more specifically what type of foot you're looking for. (more) Please let me know how else I can help! All the best, Scott

+CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration I wanted to see all the presser feet made for the Pfaff you own. I'm not looking for any in particular. My Mom owns the 260 and it sometimes skips stitches. Would you know why?

+Brian Mott - To clarify, I own numerous PFAFF machines, some of which are soon to be listed for sale. Each machine is allocated various attachments (feet) to create a package, and so I would need to know more specifically what type of attachment you're potentially going to use....they all have different functions and outputs. (more) The most common reason for skipped stitches is needle related. Needles can develop a barb, they can sometimes be orientated incorrectly (flat side right vs. left) and sometimes not inserted fully in the needle shaft. (more) Additionally, certain materials, such as vinyl can resist the thread movement through the material, resulting in skipped stitches. Thanks for the questions Brian, and let me know how else I can potentially help. Best regards, Scott

Hi Brian, If you still need the settings for the STITCH PATTERN WHEEL for this outstanding machine? Visit this link, and for a nominal fee, it's yours:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Afr9Z00wdrI.html the best, Scott

Thank you but the stitch pattern wheel for my Mom's sewing machine looks the same.

Hi Jan, Are you setting all the points to generate the stitch? Do you have a fashion disk for making the settings? Thank you, Scott

Hi Scott, Thanks for the response. Yes I sett all the points to generate the stitch. I believe I have the fashion stitch but I may be wrong. I looked under the hood and it seems that everything is in tacked.

Hi Jan. Have you serviced the machine under the cover? If not, please note my remarks, below: There are a number of pivot points that have a tendency to get dry and stick, and a few drops of kerosene will lubricate and clean these areas. Remove the cover, and turn each knob to identify the action area, then lubricate and clean with a few drops of kerosene while working the knob in FULL MOTION, back and forth. Please share the results when time allows. Kind regards, Scott

Hello Friend from Norway......Regarding the twin needles you're seeking, you will find an option offered through the Schmetz Sewing needle company, also German based like your PFAFF. Below is a link for one being offered on EBay, you can also visit the Schmetz sewing needle website, or you can view a detailed .PDF under my ABOUT section on this RU-vid channel highlighting the Schmetz needle options.www.ebay.com/itm/Schmetz-130-705H-E-ZWI-Embroidery-Twin-Sewing-Machine-Needle-Size-3-0-75-/401111980355?hash=item5d64231943:g:G38AAOSwc0FUqET-Varme ønsker om lykke , god helse og mye moro som arbeider med din PFAFF 332

Thank you so much :)

Det er min glede å stå til tjeneste... God søm, og Gud velsigne :)

Hi friend, I also have a pfaff 360 and I'm thinking about selling either my 360 or my 332 but I don't know which one to keep myself. Do you have a suggestion? :)

Keep the 332, friend.......better engineering and power.

Wonderful Brian....Congratulations! I hope you got a good one, because the 332-6 requires specific maintenance and restoration to operate at an optimal level, and most sellers do not have a clue regarding these needs.

Okay, thanks for info ;) how can i see what type it is? i got it home from Germany right now ;) All is working and it is sewing in hard cow leather like butter, just what i was looking for ;) only thing is missing is backplate for the engine. but new service and oil and test sewingfabric cool :) I like your videos :)

My machine does not have that pattern dial i see it by now first, so i dont think mine can do so many stitces :( but it can sew in hard cow leather as i wanted. but it says Pfaff 332 on the side? ;) hhhmm. ok. so there are not only one 332 model.

Hi Brian, If your machine lacks the control dials seen in my video, located on the top and front of the machine cover, then you have a standard 332, not a 332-6. Both share equal power, but as you observed, your model has fewer stitch options. Thanks for sharing, and I'm very happy you enjoy the videos on my channel...Any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!! Best regards, Scott

thanks for the info :) I have seen on my machine is a gizmo next to the pressure foot, it goes down the needle, what is it to measure the needle? whether it is straight or crooked? do you know anything about this?
