Now here are my questions;
1. Have others with this machine or similiar experienced this? (or does my machine need to go the the Pfaff doctor?)
2. I know there is a single hole plate available, has anyone purchased it and did it solve the problem? (I don't mind spending the money to solve the problem but if nothing changes I would rather buy fabric.)
3. While piecing do Pfaff owners have the IDT engaged or disengaged?
Sorry that this is so long, but I really like my machine and if I could get a solution for this little issue I like we can be happy together for years to come.
I am a new owner of an "experienced" Creative Pfaff. Oddly enough, the Pfaff never pulls the thread from the spool down into the hook assembly like my big 'ol Bernina but it did push the fabric into the hole. Guess it must be two different things going on. Anyway, I bought the single hole foot plate and that seems to have fixed things. I keep the IDT engaged for piecing. One of the things I like best about my Pfaff it that when I sew strips together I don't get that little curvey thing going on.
