The Return Of My "New" Pfaff
 

Finally back from being serviced back to health, my recently-acquired Pfaff 259 is looking good. As the Beatles sang: "It's a clean machine."

I am a novice sewist, motivated by a desire to produce kites with my 6 year-old daughter this summer. I also have an affinity for beautifully made (and designed) equipment that is made to last.

Welcome from Central California. That is a beautiful machine.

Welcome from TN. Your machine looks nearly mint. It should sew as good as it looks. The old Pfaffs are tanks.

Oh WOW, beautiful machine....Hope you have many, many hours of fun sewing on her and having fun with your daughter! You may have to teach her to sew also, so be prepared.. Welcome from Alabama.

Welcome from SW Ohio! What a beautiful machine!

Welcome, enjoy your machine she is lovely and will be a great work horse for the projects you dream up.

Welcome on board! This is a neat place for those of us who love to sew/quilt! You'll always learn stuff on here!

Wow, really bueatiful machine. I have an old Pfaff also - they are really wonderful machines.

Wow if my Pfaff had looked that good I might have kept it.

Thanks for all the welcomes and well-wishes. I am curious as to how Pfaff owners (of this era) use their machines to replace zippers, specifically on a moderately-thick coat. Are there adapters available, or do you simply use a proprietary Pfaff foot?

The reason I'm asking is, I don't know much about low shank feet vs. high shank (I know this is a low version), and have a couple of zipper feet (60's era) that I was hoping might work.

Welcome. That is a beautiful well card for machine. As long as it's kept well maintained it should serve you well.

If you look at my Avatar, you will see my Pfaff 262. It is just like yours plus the dials on top for embroidery stitches. I am the original owner of mine, bought in 1968 and I will never sell it! They are fabulous work horses.

Vschieve, that is good to hear. :thumbup:

Welcome from central New York State! I am a Pfaff addict, have three at the moment, oldest one is from 1979. I guess that's not considered vintage. I've never had a drop of trouble with it except for the needle threader and bobbin winder which we fixed both here at home. It looks beautiful and I'm sure you will love it!

Very pretty.

Welcome from Southern California. She's a beauty of a machine. I too prefer the older full metal machines.
