Which Pfaff? I have a 2144, and the feet for that are the same on both sides. So is the stitch in the ditch foot.

The 2144 is a 9mm machine, but I have used the 6mm open toe. When I bought these feet, they were common to both the 6mm and 9mm machines since they are single stitch. See if you can find a foot for group G

I did try a foot from the first Creative on the 2144. It fit.

Yes, with the Berninia 1/4" foot (#37), you can only use a center setting (or one click left or right). I won't tell you how many needles I've broken by changing to a different stitch but forgetting to change the foot.

My Bernina foot is clear and I can move the needle either way and have 1/4" for quilting like you want. I never thought about this until I read this thread. You gave me a great idea! Thanks!

I have an older version of the Pfaff 1/4" foot that is 1/4" on both sides. It looks like the one in this photo: http://www.pfaff.com/global/4190_3236.html

Perhaps if you check with Pfaff dealers they might have an older style one in stock.

Yes, that does look right! I'll have to give them a call. My machine uses 9mm. Thanks for the link!

No go again I'm afraid! I pulled up the one you showed, got the part number and searched. Unfortunately it also is bigger to the left. I will try taking my plastic one to a "glass" shop. I have a metal one as a stand-by.

I guess-timate it now and have looked but would love to find one with both side of 1/4". All the ones I've seen have a bigger prong to the left of the needle. (I have a Pfaff Espressions 3.0)

Anyone know? Google didn't find one. Maybe a glass shop could cut my plastic one for me?

I thing to consider my Viking does not mind a few back stitches..but it does mind many more..as I was told by the dealer..most all home machines are made to feed the material front to back..of course I had to try it..Many broken threads later I gave up.

Kitsie 12-25-2014 10:14 AM

Yes, I've wondered about that, too. But I have done this before with short seams and so far my machine is not complaining! Thanks Shy.

As you've now found out, the old style Pfaff 1/4" is the same on both sides - I have both. You might get one on eBay. Happy quilting!
