Thanks Robert! Glad you enjoyed it. I purchased the binder set (needleplate, feed dog and inner/outer foot) from Sharp Sewing on Ebay. Just search "Pfaff 545 binder" and it will show up. Thanks for the feedback!

LOL, thanks!

+Jim King Thanks . If you're breaking thread in reverse your machine is out of time by a very small amount.

Thank you :)

thank you!!

Thanks Gregg! I actually purchased the motor on this machine from you.

Thanks

Thanks! I need to update this video actually because I've made a couple other versions, one out of steel and one out of aluminum, that are much more robust with a couple design improvements. I don't use them much anymore actually because I purchased a Pfaff 335 but for most items the flat bed w/ this attachment is every bit as good.

Unfortunately their not interchangeable. Both are fantastic machines (I miss my 145-H4). Maybe keep the 145 and just use it with T70 thread?

+David Rios Thanks for the positive comments David. I'll be doing a few more 545 videos down the road. As for the drop down edge guide. I don't know the part number but I do remember that it was made for an Adler 267. The Pfaff's don't have holes in the back of the machine to accept a drop down guide. You have to drill out the cast iron yourself and tap threads. I used a hand drill when I drilled out my 145H4 and it was very difficult. This one was drilled out on a drill press which went much more smoothly. The brand of the guide is Kwokhing and it's made for an Adler. I think i ordered it direct from HongKong a number of years back.

great video.....setting this up on MY pfaff 545, wondering WHERE you found the screw to attach the pivot point near the neck? seems a very unique thread?

Hi Charlie, You might have to do some filing. I can't remember if I had to do any for this particular set but the quality of these chinese made parts keeps going down. I ordered a set for my Pfaff 335 and had to heavily modify them. There was no way that they would have worked the way they arrived. Try marking the underside with a sharpie marker and lightly tighten and then rotate the hand wheel. Continue doing this until you make contact. Then pull the needle plate and look to see where the sharpie marker rubbed off and file there. Rinse and repeat. As for the binder itself, I'm using a Sailrite right angle binder. Although it's nice it's also expensive. There are probably some cheaper options out there but I haven't really looked. I've recieved a number of messages about this plate. Since making this video I've learned to TIG weld and am considering make a few to sell to people that want them. If that happens I'll post a new video about it.

You are awesome, thanks! Yes, please post if you get into manufacturing.

Pfaffs machines are one of the best machines for heavy sewing

Hi Kenneth, the adjustment manual for the Pfaff 1245 is available online for free. Google "Pfaff 1245 Service Manual". It will give you instructions for how to make adjustments to timing, needlebar height, feed dog stroke, etc. Goodluck!

Yeah I have it. But after 5 years with a juki, it's like learning a new language. Lol

Donde puedo compra una maquina de tapicería pfaff

Unfortunately I don't think so. The synchronized function is dependent on the arm being attached to the feed dogs (via the pin and hole in the needle plate/feed dog) I looked at the binder set for the 1508 and there are no provisions for this.

Ya, it'll work, the 145 and 545 are basically the same machine except for bobbin size. I need to fabricate a new one of these out of metal but it works really well.

You definitely don't want a 99 or 192 for what you're doing. Those aren't even full size domestic machines and I believe they were typically made with .5amp or less motors. A Pfaff 142 would be a great choice although you could probably get away with something as basic as a Singer 31-15. Watch this video to get an idea of the machine used in the process: Cool Hunting Video Presents: Roy Denim Goodluck!

HI just want to know is that little pin smaller then the hole thanks

Nope! Just trying to contribute to the community that I've learned so much from.

ebay has them but quality varies dramatically. quality ones are big $$$
