Short sewing demo Pfaff Creative 1471

[@SporadicShade]

Thank you. I searched everywhere for advice! Us a life saver!

[@martinebourgault2639]

Thank you very much. Very helpful. I just bought the Pfaff 1469 and had it adjusted. Getting to know the machine.

[@douro20]

This was Pfaff's first computerised machine, and one of the machines which really propelled Pfaff to the top of the market. One feature which really set it apart was the ability to completely customise the stitch programs, a feature that other manufacturers wouldn't catch up on for several years down the line.

Lovely clear video, very well put together thank you :)

Thank you!

Hello I was gifted with 1471 , everything looks good but Pressure bar lever is very loose and and it’s not going up and down. Machine was in storage for 20+ years.

[@sheriw.7009]

Anytime a machine has been sitting that long, I highly recommend taking it to a repair shop for a good once over. They could also give advice on that loose lever.

[@rzimmermann2301]

If you do any more demonstrations. Please use colour thread so it's easier to see.

[@sheriw.7009]

A very good suggestion. Thank you!

At 1:46, when you program stitch 47, the tension displays 10 and the light comes on next to it. I didn't see you adjust the tension. I brought my old 1471 out of storage today and chose a stitch that said 16 for tension, but the tension wheel doesn't even go up that high. It seemed to sew the stitch without any problem. My question is, what is that light for?

[@sheriw.7009]

Good question, but I don't have the machine anymore, so I'm not sure. Sorry

[@12thDecember]

@@sheriw.7009 Sheri, thanks for taking the time to respond. Pfaff is still in business, so I'll get in touch with them and see what's up with that light coming on when certain stitches are programmed.

I am rather desperate to get my Presser foot back on my Pfaff 1471. It is not lock3ed down and keeps breaking needles. How in the world do you get it flat, and on again? I recently had it worked on, but forgot to ask him how. It has always been a problem for me. This is tricky, I have been sewing for years, but have never had this problem with any other machine! Thank you so much for any assistance!! :o)

[@sheriw.7009]

You just set the presser foot under the shaft and drop the shaft down. It will snap in.

[@beckycroll7519]

Hi, Sheri. I have and love my 1471. I have recently decided I want to attempt programming in a mock hand quilting stitch. I would need 3 stitches forward, one back, one forward, one back. Not sure how to program the back stitch! Can you help?

[@sheriw.7009]

I'm sorry, I never did that and I no longer have the machine.

[@CreeBreej]

My mum bought this one back in the 80's but never really used it. Its coming to me now, but its miss aligned and possible missing the foot peddle :( Any advice on how to realign it ?

[@sheriw.7009]

I would take it to a qualified Pfaff dealer for repair.

[@sheriw.7009]

You can easily purchase an after market foot peddle. I had replaced mine twice.

[@lizaknittinggirl3745]

Hi, thanks for this great video. I was offered a sewing machine PFAFF 1471 in very good conditions. But it´s impossible to work all the stitches, specially the alphabets and the numbers won´t work. Is there a trick concerning the choice of yarn or needle? Or do you have any idea what I could try or change? I appreciate your answer very much and hope that you can help. Best regards, liza

[@sheriw.7009]

I only used the letters a little. I know I used regular thread in bright colors.

[@alp-1960]

Thank you! How many different presser feet do the decorative stitches require? I have the opportunity to buy one of these, but I want to be certain it has all the necessary feet since I will mostly be using it for the fancy stitches.

[@sheriw.7009]

I am sorry, I sold this machine so I'm not sure. I mainly used just a few of the feet. Maybe 0, 1, and 2?

[@alp-1960]

@@sheriw.7009 No problem. I actually bought a Creative 7570 instead. Thank you for answering my question though.

I'm afraid I am not sure what you've asked. It won't let me copy, or I would use a translator.

hello very nice sewing machine please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how it's used to sew please ok? Thank you very much

[@sheriw.7009]

I no longer have the machine. I primarily made this video for the benefit of the lady who was buying it.

[@stellamonaghan1092]

I had one of these machines but sadly it had an intermittent fault and cd not get it mended here in England. I gave it away to a sewing machine shop and cannot stop thinking about what a lovely machine it was when it was working😂I now have a 1473 cd and a Hobbymatic 801 which is a good combination of Pfaff innovation and the 801 is the everyday workhorse 🙂Hope the lady who bought yr 1471 is happy with her purchase. Thks for yr video too Stella

[@kamberaltintas6616]

pico width how many millimeters

[@sheriw.7009]

Standard straight stitch is 2.5, I'm not sure if that answers your question.

[@Sylvia-Storm]

I have this exact machine. Could anyone tell me how to do free motion embroidery on it as once the pressure foot it lowered the fabric can’t move.

[@sheriw.7009]

I'm sorry, I never attempted to do this. Did you try lowering the feeddog?

[@Sylvia-Storm]

@@sheriw.7009 oh yes I’ve tried that.

[@sheriw.7009]

@@Sylvia-Storm Unfortunately, since I no longer have the machine, that's the only thought I had. Sorry!

[@sheriw.7009]

@@Sylvia-Storm this isn't the same Pfaff, but I thought it might be the same basic process. Check it out and see if it helps! Let me know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJyslmaHr76Gi7M

@@sheriw.7009 omg I’ve done it ,after all this time, I found a little notch in the lever slot that holds it slightly up. Thank you so much. You’ve saved me buying a new machine.

Can you do letters from the alphabet

[@sheriw.7009]

Yes, you can

[@larabriegel49]

@@sheriw.7009 Could you show how to do the letters in a video? I've been trying to figure it out but somehow it never works. They never come out clear. Already tried reading the instructions but that doesn't help, either.

I sold the machine, sorry...

[@GMO--ge4ir]

It's quicker & easier to just use scissors or snips.🙈🤦 For the purpose of this demo,contrasting thread woulda been betta,easier to s👀.🤷

[@sheriw.7009]

I agree, contrasting thread would have been better, but I'm not KZbin pro and really just made this to help the lady buying my machine. I'm happy to see it has helped a few others though 😊
