THAT might be the difference between the machine model numbers along with features on identical looking machines. Different cam stack needs a different stitch wheel is what I'm guessing. I bet that the cam stack is interchangable between the machines listed together. If that is the case then the mystery might be one step closer to being solved. I saw someone was selling another 229 with the wheel. I hope to contact them and ask what the numbers are on it. I had the envelope it came with for my 229 but I think I remember that the 230 was listed but the 229 was not. Hmmmm. Now I want to know what that one says. ~G~

Trish, good luck on your surgery. We'll have to communicate while we recover. My doctor wants to let this heal without surgery. I'm praying that works. We'll only be able to drool over all the pretty machines and once we're able to sew again, we'll be super busy. At least that's the way it works for me....I know from past experience.

Nanna, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers too. I hope you mend and won't need surgery. Hubby and I both keep up with the board so he will keep me informed as to what you all have been up to.

I had used my granny's 201-2 for leather in the past, but it just couldn't handle heavy stuff due to the piddly .6amp motor. The one I order has a 1.5 amp motor, and the one I played with last week was 1.3 amp. Nothing like horsepower- or in this case, Pfaff power!

I don't know what it is, Skip, but I'm thinking it looks like some kind of seam guage. Is there a hole on the bed of the mackine that this device would screw into? Then the toes would slide to different distances from the needle as you tighten it down? I may be way off in my idea so, I'll watch to see if someone knows for sure.
