Thumbs up! Good job and good friend!

So happy for you! Great job! Now have fun with her.

Good for you, but I would recommend that you take it in for a service as there is a heavier lubricant they use on the gears inside to keep them running smooth. I have had mine for almost 45 years and would give up my embroidery machine before it. I would recommend that you go on ebay and buy one for repair as parts are getting harder to find, I was just talking to a machine repair guy and he said it was a shame and he was really having trouble getting them.

Congratulations. Look forward to seeing what you do with it. BrendaK

I know what you mean I had one that I bought new then just this past year it died, I sewed it to death I think. But yes I had done repairs and cleaning on it myself for years. A great machine. Enjoy I especially enjoyed the built in dual feed.

Fortunately my mom had purchased the same machine (she regretted giving me hers). It died, so I kept it for parts. Now I can cannibalize it if/when needed. My friend has some white grease (I think he called it) for my old longarm that I'm wondering if will work on the gears in the Pfaff. Thanks for the encouragement everyone.
When I find old metal machines at yard sales I buy them and if they're running okay will hold onto them until I find someone who needs a machine. I've given four that way so far. I have an old Viking I'm struggling with getting it to stitch straight, just wants to zigzag. Once I get that one done I'll have a home for it. I'm a bit busy with homeschooling, baseball, etc.. to really make myself sit down and muddle through working on it. My Pfaff took priority over everything. The boys had to get their own dinners!

ohh good to know.. thanks for sharing

Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself, sometimes it's just a simple fix and you're good to go. When you have a machine you love, you hate to lose it; glad you got it working again.

I had a Pfaff 1222 that I sewed on for about 30 yearrs & then gave to my DD. Great machine.Loved it. Unfortunately, whenshe moved the foot pedal was lost. Does anyone know if they are available anyplace?

I just saw one on ebay. There was a 1222 for over $1000. Think I'll just keep working on mine.
