Threading a pfaff 9020 sewing machine - PfaFF Creative 7570

  • PrettyPocket Jul 31, 2008

    I have a problem threading my Pfaff 1536. It's almost like it threads backwards (left to right instead of right to left). I REALLY need a diagram because it just is not sewing correctly for me.

All machines thread the same. TTN tension, take up, needle.
Beginning with the spool, guide the thread through the thread guides to the tension assembly. Pull the thread through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It should pull noticeably harder.) If it passes this test, continue up through the take up lever,then down through the thread guides to the needle. Make sure your needle is fully inserted and turned the correct way.( If you load your bobbin case from the left side,the needle rule is normally FLAT to the RIGHT is RIGHT. There are some exceptions. If you have a newer style drop in bobbin or your bobbin case loads in the front then the rule is FLAT to the BACK.

I need to know how to thread a PFAFF syncromatic 1200

Unfortunately, documentation is not available for the Pfaff Synchromatic 1200. Pfaff does have the manuals for the Syncrhromatic 1209 and 1215. The threading pattern probably didn't change much between the 1200 and these other machines. Look at page 7 of the Synchromatic 1209 here, http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Synchromatic_1209-manual-EN.PDF , to see if this helps. Unlike most sewing machines, the 1209 doesn't thread the upper thread from right to left. Instead, you bring the thread from the spool to a slot on the top left. Then work down to the guide, up to the take up lever, and down through the next guide as you move the thread to the right to the needle.

I hope this helps. The other available Pfaff manuals can be found here: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Support-and-Updates/Support .

How to thread the serger4872?

Do you mean the Pfaff Coverlock 4872 serger? If so, the manual shows the threading pattern starting with threading the thread guides on page 14 (page 18 of the PDF). Pfaff has the manual on the product support page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Support/3323 . The current link to the manual is: http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/coverlock_4872-manual-EN.pdf . Many Pfaff sewing machine manuals are available from the Machine support page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Support-and-Updates/Support . To find this machine, look for the list of Coverlock machines in the alphabetical list then find the specific model.

ManualsLib also has the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/504967/Pfaff-Coverlock-4872.html . If you Google Pfaff coverlock 4872 threading guide video, you can find several videos that may be clearer than the pictures in the manual. Pfaff has the video of threading their overlock machines here: http://www.pfaff.com/mediafiles/threading_guide/index_en.html . (Flash player is required.)

I hope this helps.

My thread keeps breaking every time I start sewing on my pfaff 4.0 sewing machine. O have changed the thread two times. re threaded the needle six times and ensured the needle was in the correct location....

The top thread breaks

1. the needle thread is not threaded properly

2. The needle thread tension is to tight

3. The needle is bent or blunt

5. The needle thread & the bobbin thread are not set under the presser foot when starting to sew

6. the threads were not drawn to the rear after sewing
