I'm kind of leaning towards it being from an electric can opener too. Is the shaft that goes through the magnet plastic? Is the end threaded? If it is plastic or not threaded, I would doubt that it would be a sewing machine guide. From the looks of it, it doesn't look like the shaft goes through the magnet but is attached to it.

This is true, but I would be afraid of scratching the finish. Are there any scratches in the bed where this would go, or anywhere else on the machine, that match the magnet? Kind of like a footprint.

Actually, if that thing came off a can opener or something else - it is pretty innovative if the person used it as a seam guide! The magnet would work perfectly on the bed of our vintage machines.

Thanks guys, I don't know what is either and I also thought it came off a can opener. I wish she was here to ask her what she did with this thing. I can't figure out how she attached it to the machine. the magnet is strong so maybe it was a make shift seam guide.

Ok. I was in the middle of cleaning and running my Pfaff 230. For anyone that has had a question about how well these Pfaff's run and how quiet they are, I shot a 15 second video of mine running with all of the covers off. So it is as noisy as it can get. Keep in mind that the microphone is INCHES away and there is no background noise to speak of.

Miriam,
Yes it does sew, but the last time I used it I had fits with the tension. So it got set back till I was finished with other things. Much of the noise was due to the huge flat spot on the friction drive wheel. Joe |
