RIP Pfaff Synchrotronic 1229.... 1982 - 2012
My Pfaff died tonight. Well, it didn't really die, but it might as well be dead. I only had for 6-7 weeks, but I grew to love and depend on her. She showed me that I was capable of doing machine quilting. Luckily, I was only zig-zagging when it happened, so I was able to get my back-up and keep going.
The arm that raises and lowers the pressure foot broke. I had to pry my quilt out. |
That's terrible. Hope you didn't damage your quilt getting it out. Are you going to be able to get her fixed?

How does a broken lever equal a dead machine? Sounds like an easy fix to me. Of course, finding the part or donor machine may take a bit....

I'll be ready with my paperclips and duct tape! |
Well since it is already broke - and at this point you feel you have nothing to lose I would get it opened and try to fix it . Should just be some screws to get it opened :) What have you got to lose ?

Oh my goodness, looks like that part IS available!! I found it on ebay! So maybe....
cross your fingers! |
Oh, I'm shocked! I found the part and am ordering it post haste!

There is an excellent Pfaff repairman on Kingston Pike in Knoxville. He fixed my 1222E in less than a week. He is no more expensive than any other repairman AND he really likes the 1200 series machines.
