I have a Pfaff creative 1467 which has sat for a year. It was serviced and never used until now. I have never sewn on the machine before. I need help with the how to program. By the way, I'm really glad I found your videos. Thank you so much

I have a 1473 that is misbehaving, when any stitch is engaged that uses a reverse the machine remains stuck in reverse until switched off and on again. Any suggestions that you might have would be very gratefully received.

@@Alasdair-y4j if you engage the reverse button while the machine is stopped, the reverse will stay in that mode until you stop the machine and disengage the reverse mode. Could that be what is happening? It might be easier if you call the office next week and speak with someone.

Very helpful..I had NO idea when or we hat to oil. My Pfaff 1473-1473CD was a gift when original owner died. I have the books but oiling wasn't covered. I hope I can make it work perfectly again. Can I submit questions?

Thank you for the creating & posting this video. I'm not much into sewing (gasp), hemming & repairs is about all I do. I oil my macine everytime I use it, but between multiple year intervals. It was mentioned the oil breaks down over time. Should I oil it more often than eveytime I sew?

As a “Let’s take that apart and fix it!” girl…I want to go to Texas and have a heated “chat” with the doofus repair schmuck responsible for that carnage!! That is just cruel to the owner and wrong to the sewing universe to have dismantled that beautiful 1471 with no idea of how to repair it. Posting this as I currently ponder the fate of my own 1471….my checkbook is pretty flat right now, so….ugh. Thanks for posting this!💕🧵

The irony of this "mess" is that as Glenn Smith says, "this was hand carried into the shop", and he stated that they were from Texas. The average distance between the two states is 1,575 miles, or almost 23 hours of straight drive time (one way). Glenn did not say that it was "a delivery", which would have been discussed with Glenn on the phone before hand. Even at 6 Bones, ($600) it would mean that there was $0 value for the box carried into Glenn's shop. Something doesn't make sense. I find owners of Pfaff machines to be quite discerning, and I'm not sure I've ever met a sewing repair person that would be that incompetent. Who in the interest of repair cuts conductors on the motor, without pulling the brushes first & checking? Also, any motor tech knows, the commutator is cut and then the mica is relieved. Sand paper is a "hack job". Something doesn't make sense!

My machine is Pfaff 6120 I got it a year ago. It's in great shape, but foot pressure lever isn't moving properly. I comes down very slow. Maybe it's an oiling problem?

Hello, You can add a serpentine stitch by using your creative designer. We have a video created by Amy ( Mrs Creepy) that explains the basics of the creative designer using the 1475. The process is basically the same for your machine and your instruction book will go into more specific detail. Thank you for watching our videos.

I happened to come upon one of these machines and just getting started on it. Only thing I noticed is when I use a straight stitch it is slightly diagonal. When I move the needle up and down by hand I can also see the needle move the left of centre slightly every second time up and down. Goes centre then left, centre then left. I’m assuming it should be centre all the time. I replaced the needle as well. Any help please ?
