Does the cap snap off which is over the light on #2030 Pfaff

To change the bulb in the Pfaff Tiptronic 2030, you need the bulb remover that was in the original accessory package. Push the bulb remover up into the sewing machine (at the bulb) as far as it will go. Rotate the tool (and the bulb) one-half rotation counter-clockwise. Bring the tool and the bulb down and remove the bulb from the remover tool. To put the new bulb back in, put it into the diagonal holder until the pins engage. Push the bulb up into the lamp holder of sewing machine as far as it will go. Rotate the bulb one-half rotation clockwise. Remove the bulb changer tool. The bulb should remain in the sewing machine. This, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bulb-remover-412570101.aspx , may be the correct replacement for the tool.

Pfaff has many of their sewing machine manuals on their machine support page. The Tiptronic 2030 support is here: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Support/272 . The current link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Tiptronic_2030_2040-manual-EN.pdf?ext=.pdf . See page 139 (132 of the PDF) for the directions to change the bulb.

I hope this helps.

You need a special foot for free motion quilting--it is slightly shorter in height than a regular presser foot, which essentially provides space between the presser foot and the needle plate to manually move the fabric. Sometimes machines came with a standard darning foot accessory. Your Pfaff dealer probably has at least one style in stock. But there are other specialty feet you can probably use, ie Big Foot, clear free motion foot, C-shaped, oval, etc. You can also purchase a shank adapter (verify it is the correct shank for your machine) and use it with a kit of snap-on presser feet so you can have a variety of presser feet for different functions.

Instruction Manual Pfaff 2030

Every time I've had a machine skip stitches it was because I had the wrong needle in the machine. (assuming the needle timing is set properly)

Try this: Good Luck

sewusa.com has threading diagrams

The front panel will have to be ordered from a Pfaff dealer, should set you back about $150-$300 plus labor...

I found three Pfaff Tiptronic machines on eBay, but not your exact model, but one of the models listed may be acceptable. When I searched, there was a 6720, 2030, and another 6720.
The 2030 was $299. When you click on the link, you may get a different selection because it will search for what is listed at the time you click on this link:

If this was helpful, please select YES to the first two RATINGS questions. Good Luck!

Go to your local dealer, they should change it for the cost of the bulb only
