I have an old Necchi 155 shuffle foot. This tutorial works almost the same thanks very much!
That's great it applied to you machine too.
Nice video thank you.
Willie, you're the best! I'm sure uncle Larry was responsible for WWII somehow! Hello from Downunder!
Oh my gosh, that made me laugh! Have fun with your projects.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Blessings
You saved my sanity there where you said not to put the thread around the spring part and on the metal piece. I'm very new beginner so I appreciate that!! Thank you
Nice! Thanks for letting me know.
This is the best video by far for threading your Pfaff. There are several posted on RUclips and they are more frustrating than worth it. Outstanding work and demonstration Willie. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker I am having issues with the tension I believe. Not sure if it is the needle size or possibly the thread size I am using. I have a 190LR 24 with 207 Poly bonded thread. I will get three or four decent stitches and then it misses completely for about 4 or 5 stitches. Any ideas what could be causing this?
@@lelandartripe860 Yes, that's a bit too heavy thread for that machine. Start with 92 weight thread and a #20 needle. 138 thread would be about max. Is your 545 an H4 version? If yes then the 190 system needle is perfect. If it's an H3 then it uses a 134-35 needle system. Good luck getting it dialed in.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Willie yes its the H4. It was bought used and had a 135/17 needle in it when I got it so I had some concerns that someone may have retimed it for the smaller/shorter needle. Could that be possible?
@@lelandartripe860 yes that's possible. If so, it's pretty easy to put it back to the stock configuration. You would just need to raise the needle bar slightly. My Juki LU-563 uses a 135-17, but I converted it to a 190 needle system by raising the needle bar.

Thank you !
Thanks!
What might be wrong if my Needle is not catching the Bobben thread. I have a pfaff 545. I have 2 needles 135 35lp and 135 17.
The wrong needle can cause that. A 545 H3 takes a 134-35 needle, but a 545 H4 takes a longer 190 needle system. Good luck!
What causes thread to coil up underneath the bobbin holder, the area underneath the whole assembly.
Common causes are the bobbin isn't wound well, the machine or bobbin isn't threaded correctly, or the bobbin wasn't installed properly. Good luck with it.
Thanks for explanation now I know im not wrong but something on my pfaff is... that sucker dont pick the bottom line :/
I need a little more info if you're having a sewing problem. Not picking up the lower thread? Not pulling up a tight stitch under your material?
Hello Willy, I have been learning a lot about the Pfaff 145. i currently have a Pfaff 145-H3, my machine works very well. Your video is very helpful, thank you. My Pfaff is in need of servicing and it is almost impossible to find a repair person where I live, hear in British Columbia, Canada. Have you made a video regarding servicing the Pfaff 145, also I am trying to find a supplier that has parts for the Pfaff 145, could you please tell me where to look for these parts. The Pfaff is have was made in Germany. Thank you so much for your help. Barb
ruclips.net/video/jZQavnoHRZI/видео.html here is my most comprehensive Pfaff 145 video. I also have one comparing a Pfaff and Juki 563 that may help. I buy most consumable parts from eBay. Otherwise Nick-O-Sew may have some used Pfaff parts. Best to you!
Hey I'm in Vancouver bc , there's tons of places here
I just got my pfaff 145 h3 serviced at Mason sewing
Hello, thank you for responding, I am in the Kamloops area and i can't seem to find anyone that services these machines, most of the technicians have since retired. Are you happy with the service you had done at Mason's. What is their location, I do go to Vancouver now and then, to visit family. @@dariusastells8021

Absolutely right ! Do NOT take the thread over the pin at the tension discs. Will cause havoc with the tensions etc. Nightmare !!!
Thanks for weighing in.
Our only goal, I think, is to avoid machine problems before they start.

How to wind my bobbin without my needles going up and down on the other end
The needle will move when winding a bobbin on this machine. That's normal. Just be sure to raise the presser foot and unthread the needle. Best to you!
Sounds like you figured out your best solution. That's great!
