Welcome back! Making things for me is not limited to steel and wood. I am intrigued with so many of ways in which articles are produced. Sewing is one of the methods I am keen to explore. So this video is about me finding a really old broken light industrial sewing machine and getting it working. It is not a full restoration of the sewing machine. I have never worked on a sewing machine before so the project was really interesting for me learning how all the mechanisms work and how to adjust things to get the right results. I am looking forward to doing some upholstery for some up coming projects, even if this machine is not the right tool for the job, I will learn a lot.
I would at this stage also like to introduce MASSO CNC Controllers as my new Sponsor for my videos and supporter of my work. MASSO have made it clear that they only want to sponsor my videos, not control them in any way. I am free to do the video as I have always been. I too like to support start up organisations that are community minded and strive to produce lasting quality. So, to that end I am excited about working with MASSO and continuing my journey of creativity.
I also appreciate and would like to thank my Patreon Supporters whom also greatly contribute to help me on this journey.

btw I showed your repair work to my mom, shes retired by now but worked as a tailor until the whole textile industry was moved to asia in the late 80s, she asked me to relay to you that you did well on the repair and the machine you got yourself is very fine and reliable model, she herself had a very similar one back in the days and was very happy with its performance. so if you keep it clean and run and oil it once in a while you can't go wrong with this one and it will last you another 50 years.

Bought an antique Singer treadle sewing machine, took it home, put thread in it, got some light weight canvas and made myself some...you guessed it! I made tool rolls for my wrenches. That was about 35 years ago, getting pretty worn, after seeing this video I guess it’s time to make some new ones!

Ivan - I couldn't agree more. The only way it makes sense is for the multi - nationals corporations that depend on constant renewal. This is a great little machine and I only hope that keeps going for decades to come. Thank you for your comment Ivan!

Back in the 1960's I had to clean and repair my mom's Singer sewing machine all the time. After a while I got pretty good at it even though I was maybe 10 years old then. Loved my mom and always helped her as much as I could ... but she has been gone for 10 years now but I have a lot of great memories. Nice to see you get this machine up and running ! :-) Dennis

I have a 1957 Pfaff sewing machine. It was my Mom's first machine, and I learned to sew on it when I was a kid. It also needs the same belt. It doesn't have the corrosion in it that yours does, but is full of dry lubricant that will have to be soaked out of it. The 'mechanical computer', the cams and pins are mounted on the back of the machine. It is a dressmaking machine, not a light commercial unit. But it IS a cast iron Pfaff, and as so is a heavy unit. Love watching you do your thing. Great video, good tips, I'll need them with this machine, LOTS of parts... Michael

Happy to see you took care of this Pfaff! I have the same Modell 230-automatic still working here; but with a foot pedal in a cupboard. This machine can Stich automatically. Mine is from 1957 and works well. Every electric driven sewing machine capitulated so far on heavy multi layers of e.g. jeans or coats or sail-cloth. We live on a german island 40sm off coast and it’s real good to know that the old Pfaff will be there to repair our coats and bags and even can sew sail-cloth for our boat. To calibrate the under-thread capsule is tricky, but worth it... I have a german manual and still the code-card for the automatic-Stich knob-settings; but I guess you’ll find that online as well. And the company is still there and builds high-end sewing machines to this day...

Hey Scott, I’m hoping you can help me. I have a Pfaff 362-261. I was having trouble with clearance between the positioning bracket’s finger and the bobbin shuttle hook. In fastening the positioning bracket, is there a spring that creates tension between the screw, positioning bracket and the sewing machine bed? I took it apart, left it for a few days, and now I can’t figure out how it reassembles . I’m wondering if I’ve lost a spring... Thx Pete

I liked the quip about being more complicated than a 747 engine! I recently acquired an old Singer (about the same design era as your Pfaff), and an even older Singer with the cast iron treadle frame. Both are in dire need of help, but when I asked about the oldest one, the "new one" was included. It has had the power cord and the speed control cut off, but moved freely. The really old one has a good bit of water damage to the table parts, and rust on the frame. The sewing machine isn't as bad, so it too might be fine after some cleaning. Future projects. Good job.

I think Singer refurb is a cottage industry here. My Aunt had an old style Singer (though not really as old as it looks, they made the traditional design a very long time) and up until the 90's getting parts was still rather easy. I'm sure in this age of introtubular times, that has gotten easier. Here, Singers are a dime a dozen (though now a valuable dime, but still)

Thank you Larry! Last week I made my wife a bag folding over the heavy material 8 times (Denham, maybe?) and you are right. I had no presser foot height left but it did the job. I really admire the machine, but now I see the walking foot and my eye is wondering :)

This one was funny for me. I've sewn a lot in my past. I have a 1948 singer featherweight I'm just now getting ready to rebuild. full restore. IT belonged to my grandmother. its been around in the family for years ,but hasn't been used at all. My wife wants it going again. The quilting people really love these little portable machines. It's way smaller than yours. those Phaffs are nice machines, I have a more recent quilting model. They're German built, something you didn't mention in the video. I was watching you lift that top center piece, and wondering if it was just going to come unsprung and pieces fly all over your shop. glad it didn't.

Hi Scott, my mom has the exact machine. It’s 1955 not 57. I have both user and service manuals if you’re interested. Also handy to have is the pattern card, mom’s is old and not in the best condition but I could try to take a pic if you want. Fantastic machines, take care of it and please don’t paint.

Found this exact machine in my Aunt's storage. It is mounted in a cabinet with a knee control. Wish you were in NM. It works pretty good but it wants to keep running even with my knee off the bar. It is the 230 dial a stitch. Still trying to figure out the tensions. I hope to find a Pfaff service store to do the adjustments.

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious 4 жыл бұрын

Great machine, congratulations. I would advise doing some research on tensions for this machine as different thread may require an adjustment. Always handy to know how to set up correct tensions. There are manuals on line and a few videos on You Tube. Your machine may need a little cleaning and re-lubrication on the moving parts for the knee lift.

I do quite a lot of sewing machines in our local RepairCafe. In most cases they need only some cleaning and TLC. Congrats to your thorough restauration! My Mom still uses her Pfaff 362 that she got back in 1952 as a Christmas present. I assume you know that you can do lots of embroidery patterns with the cam mechanism on the top? You would need a proprietory selector disc that shows you the respective settings. Let me know if you would like further information. BR Stefan

Thank you Stefan! I was surprised that to change a belt required much disassembly, however I'm glad I did it. The Pfaff is a superb machine. So quiet and smooth. They made these machines to last. Thanks again for your offer.

beauty, the patina is amazing. really hope you don't decide to repaint it. often find with old machines that a good cleaning gets them up and running again. can't fight the 2nd law but we can reverse years of neglect.
