    So good to see you back!! These Pfaff's are awesome. My Pfaff 90 is still going strong after all these decades. Last week I fixed up my mom's pfaff, which essentially made ALL my clothes untill I was about 8 years old ;-) Trip back to memory lane to see this 332 in such good condition. :-D

    My mother was given a 332 when a friend of hers passed away, as she had her own, it was offered to me. I used it to sew canvas yesterday after not using it for 15 years and it performed flawlessly, i had to look up manufacture date and was told 1957 as the only year. If only they built things like this today, that worked so well. thanks for video.

    I have had two of them Pfaff 332S at one time great machines like you say. One I traded away for a classic car part to a lady friend out of state and the other I still have .Germans are the best when it comes to engineering for sure .One was given to me and the other I got in a Thrift Shop for $18 .Great Video!

    Glad to see you covering this model! I think this line of machines is under appreciated!
    I'm not sure if you're aware, but the "automatic" marketing refers to the needle-threading system; if you find a copy of the original manual, it will explain. It doesn't seem very useful to me, but it's a neat idea!
    I've been lucky enough to find two of them complete and in like-new cosmetic shape that I've given as gifts. Both needed the same repair, which I have read is common: The original Pfaff grease dries out and becomes sticky and varnish-like on machines that sit for a long time. In my experience, this mainly impacts the mechanism that reads the cams. Some careful disassembly, cleaning, and oiling has gotten both of my machines back in action and sewing flawlessly, even with the original belts. One of the machines I gave to a family member and it has been used by an avid sewist constantly for years, without any repairs and minimal maintenance.
    While I hate that some people market machines like this as "industrial" or "heavy duty" in the second-hand market, they will sew through some heavier materials than a lot of other domestic machines.
    In my opinion, if you need a truly do-it-all portable machine at an affordable price, these old free-arm-convertible Pfaffs are the way to go.

    I have this same machine. Got it for cheap because it "wasn't working". I figured I would try my hand at repairing it. All I was told is that they knew nothing about it but the needle wasn't going up and down. When I got it home, indeed the needle wasn't going up and down...but only because it was set to wind a bobbin! $40 was well worth the risk. Original "suitcase" and everything, even original purchase paperwork, from 1958 if I recall.

I have both the 332-260 (this is the model that came from the factory with the embroidery mechanism the 332 is straight and zigzag stitch only) and a Necchi Supernova Ultra. Both are fantastic machines. I prefer the Pfaff. It just "sounds/feels" better as it runs. Maybe just my imagination. Thanks again.

    I have a 332 with none of those decorative stitch options, just straight and zig zag. It's a powerful machine and I'm trying to use it to sew heavier materials (1000d Cordura 420d packcloth) to make bags. Something isn't quite right though and something is slipping, resulting in the needle hitting the hook sometimes. There must be a set screw that need ssome tightening somewhere.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Needle deflection is common when feeding is difficult and "helping hands" intervene. You may be pushing the limits of the machine. Check you foot pressure and feed dog height.

    • @SeanKeesler
      @SeanKeesler 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AlexanderDyer this is more a matter of timing. The shaft that turns the hook seems to be slipping and the needle ends up mistimed and fails to enter the slot and the bobbin case. It's hitting that rotating hook assembly before the slot comes around.
      I've definitely learned not to force the fabric through and bend the needle forwards and backwards. A good lesson.

      @blackphonepink8027 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know if you still need the information, but those machines with the decorative stiches usually would have the additional "Automatik" in their name . The normal machines would just sew straight or zic-zac-stiches. But it was possible to modificate them with that special "Automatik" device afterwards. Sadly (at least in my experience fromm Germany) often the normal machines will be falsly advertised as a "Automatik"-machine. You can Tell the Differenzen by Pictures of the machine in question. If it is an "Automatik"Machine, it will have that flap and dials in the lid of the machine.
      The normal machines (at least speaking for the 332) were produced because they were cheaper. Let's not forget that the 332 was the absolute high-end-machine for non-industrial uses produced by Pfaff at her time and even one of the first free-arm-machines ever(at least as far as I know). So the 332 Automatik was really expensive and Not everybody could afford it. Hope that answers the question.

    Thanks for the demo! I have this machine as well and love it. Not a sewing enthusiast but need it from time to time. I had issues with the thread tension and disassembled that part to set the lowest setting higher. We were sewing hdpe with ripstop structure, as a part of an expandable pagoda. I still have issues with the thread tension. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Seems to be very difficult to dial in the stitch in the middle of the layers. Any suggestions on how to calibrate that?

      @@AlexanderDyer Thanks for the input. That was my go to video at the time. 2018-19 I disassembled the tensioner and pulled the spring apart for bit more tension. That helped to bring it in range. I'll get back to you when I got back at it. Happy new year ✨

      I have had to replace springs that were too light in pressure. Maybe a stiffer spring may help you.

      @@AlexanderDyer good tip. It's an old machine that makes sense. Possibly to have a set of springs for light and heavy material could be good. However the bobbin spring is not that user friendly. Might need to have different tempered springs for that too

    I know this video is 3 years old but can someone tell me if you can stitch leather with this machine? if so, how thick?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This machine would stitch leather in an applique setting but any sort of seam construction would be very onerous and burdensome. For leather and upholstery and thick fabric construction I recommend a triple feed sewing machine. These home machines are best suited for garments and curtains and such.

Are there any others to watch for? What do you think of the "portable walking foot" like the Sailrite LS-1 - Consew CP206RL - and others that look to have been made by the same company?

      I think what you are noticing is due to the coarseness of the fabric. That is a stiff and rugged material for outdoors like awnings. I also notice this when I'm sewing heavy canvas.
