Alignment of needle threader on Pfaff 2170

I am having difficulty with the needle threader automatically lining up with the needle on my Pfaff 2170. It should automatically align. Can it be adjusted?

This is called the Needle Threader Plate.

The small hook that passes through the eye of the needle is bent or broken. If it is only bent it can be straightened with a small screw driver. If it is broken it will need to be replaced. Most dealers can get this part for you for about $5.00

SOURCE: Hi my Singer 7468 machines needle has come out of

I believe if you lower the needle all the way into the case when you adjust that, you should be able to find a happy medium.

SOURCE: Can I replace the needle threader on a Pfaff 2056

It would be a two minute job for the Pfaff repair chap to do this....ring and check availability and ask for a quote, in our shop I would not charge to do this as you would be coming back for other goodies anyway, so it is just good business not to squeeze every last cent when word spreads of how reasonable and accommodation we were..
Phone and ask, save the stress.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your input - I'll call my local Pfaff dealer for a quote."

SOURCE: The timing on my Pfaff

Needle must be all the way up and the long groove must be facing out.(1) Bring the needle to its lowest position and then raise the needle 2 mm (5/64 inch) by rotating thepulley, toward the front of the machine.(2) Check that the point of the sewing hook is at the top of needle eye in the center of the needle. If it isnot, remove the face plate (para. 4-23) and loosen the needle bar clamp screw. Move the needlebar, as necessary, and retighten the screws.(3) Check that the rotary hook point is at the center line of the needle. Loosen the two setscrews goinginto the shaft and rotate the rotary hook assembly as needed.(4) Tighten the rotary hook setscrew and recheck all settings.(5) Rotate pulley toward the front of the unit to ensure there is no interference or binding.tm-10-3530-207-14_411_1.jpg
The timing is done either by adjusting the slide on the hook drive shaft or the gear. Grub screws attach these parts to the shaft and the above sketch shows the ideal timed position of the needle and the hook. Further instructions appear below.

How to install a needle threader on pfaff 2034 expression sewing machine

It would probably be quicker and easier to continue using the cheap and very efficient hand held needle threader most of the rest of the world uses when it can no longer see very well. To be honest I have been around them all my life and have never seen a sewing machine with a needle threader, I didn't know there was such a thing...

Automatic needle threader

Usually, the needle needs to be raised so the needle eye will match the threader. However, perhaps your threader has been bent or inadvertently pushed up or out of position.

Pfaff 91 sewing machine..The bobbin casing strikes the needle threader and prevents the casing from making a complete cycle. this happens even without a needle intalled

The likely answer is that the needle threader is out of its place. They are pretty delicate and subject to bending. Also, I wouldn't think the needle threader should extend to or below the needle plate--this would be counter-productive as only the needle should extend that far because it should be the only machine part that would be penetrating the fabric.

HOW TO ADJUST my needle threader on my Pfaff Creative Visions 5.5 sewing machine

If the tiny hook on the needle threader misses the eye of the needle, it needs a careful adjustment to align it. I do mine by using a magnifying lamp to aid viewing the mechanism, then holding the needle threader down level with the eye, gently manipulate the hook until it is able to move into the eye., usually a tiny amount either side. If it needs adjustment vertically, then it needs the small screw carefully undoing a little, until the threader can be moved slightly up, or down.

I have a model 348 and have difficulty threading the needle. is there an automatic needle threader that can be added?

There are small plastic threaders that are like a hypodermic that pushes the thread through the eye....a good sewing and craft shop will have these, or a thin wire threader for an overlocker is a good option....but you cannot add to the machine itself, no, it was never an accessory....more expensive models tend to have them as a standard feature

I am not sure how to replace my broken self threader hook, to put in a new hook for my 2040 model, Pfaff sewing machine?

If your talking about the needle threader, it just simply slides on to the stainless steel shaft and snaps on. You might have to adjust it a little if it doesn't line up with the eye of the needle. To do that you need to remove the side cover of the needle bar area, and loosen the 1.5MM allen screw that sets the stop for the threader stop. It is located near the top of the needle threader bar.

I changed my needle on my singer 3116 and the needle threader does not work anymore. Hope you have an answer! Thanks!

It is probably out of alignment, just turn your needle threader so that the little wire goes through the eye of the needle and will catch thread. Also, sometimes the needle you put in has too small of a hole to thread easily with the automatic needle threader.

Automatic needle threader on brother se-350

Hi - first, make sure that you raise the needle to as far up as it will go. When you thread the machine, make sure you pass the thread through each number along the path - there is a hook on the threader mechanism that is really easy to miss. It is always a good idea to refer to the book when you are having a problem.

You might also try changing the needle. The threader has a teeny hook that goes in to the eye of the needle from behind, grabs the thread, and pulls it back thru the eye of the needle.

The threader can go out of alignment. If you got the machine last fall, it should still be under warranty. You can call Brother and ask where you can take the machine for repair. Or, you can go to Brother's website and look for information that might be helpful.

Good luck,
Ginny
